Welcome to the forum! See the FAQ and Help sticky in the NEF/H&R Centerfire forum, most everything that applies to a Handi/Ultra, applies to the Sportsters. Using a spacer of some sort to semi-float the barrel may or may not help accuracy, it's best to just shoot it and then see.  BTW, the rimfire NEFs are Sportsters, not Handis. ;)

My recommendation, shoot it.  It seems the more I shoot mine the better it gets.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
