22-250 handi
« on: February 06, 2012, 12:45:04 PM »
I found a nice handi with the camo synthetic stock and 4-12 scope chambered in 22-250 at local gun shop. Anybody have any experience with this gun? Are they good shooters? It will be used for coyote, groundhogs and target shooting(not competition).Thnx

My wife has a 22-250 Handi, 22" standard contour barrel with a 6x24x42 Tasco (read cheap) scope.  Gun will shoot MOA to 200 yards with 36 grain Barnes VGs and TAC powder.  This load is just above Ramshot's starter load as I found increasing the powder charge reduced the accuracy.   Note that some of the accuracy tips in the FAQs have been applied to this gun, "o" ring forearm, relieve the spacer, chamfer/deburr scope ring holes, etc.

Mine shoots better than I can hold it. I can keep 3 under an inch at 100yds but I do think the gun can do better. I am going to get another set of Sandbags set up this summer, my rest leaves some to be desired. Hope you like it if you get it. Mine shoots 55 gr bullets well with the 1-9 twist.  thejanitor
