Many thanks to 30gman for best rifle I've ever owned!
« on: September 08, 2012, 10:09:54 AM »
I bought a 30-30 Handi from 30gman.

Almost didn't.  No pictures.   :(

But I looked and he's been on here a while, good feedback and just seemed like an honest guy so I took a chance.

BEST CHANCE EVER!   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

30gman, thank you for a joy to shoot!

Today was the first day I have had to really have fun with it.

You can cover a five shot group with a nickel at 75 yds using factory Federal 150's. 

And I think the nickel is all me, I'm betting if it was in a vise you could cover it with a dime.

My uncle was with me and he couldn't quit grinning every time it was his turn.

I don't know how I lived without this rifle!


God Bless Our Troops!

Few things are cherished by a sportsman as much as a truly accurate rifle...

Good luck with it!!

   The 30 30 that I have is my most accurate Handi that I own. It's a joy to shoot..I reload for it and it loves the 165 gr. Nosler Ballistic tip bullets. My favorite.

30-30 Handis are good shooters, no doubt about it!  ;)

Great shooting..!  My 30-30 did 5 at 100 inside a quarter on Thursday with Win Super X 150s.  Aren't they wonderful.  Almost sorry I bought all that 'sight in' ammo. 
Think as if you LIFE depends on it... IT does..!  Be Well...

For those that do not reload, wouldn't it be great if there was a trustworthy Bullet Exchange?  Stupid Postal and 3rd Party Carrier regulations...we can't ship loaded ammo to one another.  And the Idiots out there would give us pause - not wanting to put something through our cherished rifles that we didn't roll ourselves or that came straight from an unopened Factory Box.  But there are those here that I trust to deal with me straight and for whom I would vouch if such an Exchange were permissible.

Ammo can be shipped UPS or Fedex ground when properly marked ORM-D, see the ammo shipping sticky in the Firearms/Ammo classifieds.  ;) There is a sample bullet source for handloaders also.

Quick,

I knew about Sample Bullets, just didn't know about the shipping of loaded ammo part.  Thanks for keeping it straight on GBO Forums!
