Welcome to the wonderful world of Handi enthusiasm. Before I stumbed on to this forum, I didn't know NEF had such a folllowing. I look forward to tweaking my Handis (I have two now) so they will group like the picture above.  :D
Ohhhh, I hate when that happens :eek:

Welcome my friend,I too have this affliction for owning lots of these rifles.I have been a fan ever since I bought my first Handi in 30-30.For some strange reason I sold it and my .223 handi that would shoot 5 shot groups the size of a dime at 100 yards.I frequently would tape pennies to my targets and shoot them.I sold both to some friends of mine.I am trying to get the .223 back.Maybe if I keep giving my buddy lots of grief he will sell it back to me to get me to shut up. :-D  :D
