I have a 22 inch bull and a 24 inch bull both .223s both will shoot 3/4 inch 3 shot groups at 100 yds. I do have some rubber orings around both to help with hamonics ( and yes they look "odd") but they shot just over an inch without them.  thejanitor

I recently bought a 7mm-08 for my wife and paid 195 for it.  Whitetails Unlimited in very clean shape.  I would think the extra barrel would be another 90 or 100.  If they're like most Handis, they'll either shoot very well, or can easily be made to do so.  My .223 standard contour climbed out of the box shooting well.  I'm in the market for a standard contour .308....don't have one yet, but I would expect the same from it.  I think I'll just send a frame to H&R for it if nothing turns up.
