Newbie..got a ?
« on: November 08, 2006, 09:13:23 AM »
Sooooo   I finallly get to go pick up the new NEF handi Ultra Varmint in .223 today!  Plan on floating the forend tomorrow but won't be able to take her out for a go-round until saturday.  Should I go ahead and polish the chamber up with from Fritz before I even touch off the first round?  How'bout doing a couple of passes down the barrel with some Frtiz to speed up the break-in.  Any thoughts?  Thanks

Welcome to GBO! Won't hurt, you need to clean it good anyway, so do it all at the same time. ;) The chamber polish isn't necessary if you have an extractor barrel, but it won't hurt to do it on an ejector barrel.

Shoot it first without the O-Ring, and see how it does. Bring it with you and try it both ways. O and congrats.

So I also plan sticking a Harris Bipod on this baby, I have heard that the handi is very picky about forearm pressure.  How does the bipod affect things.  Does the Oring fix, work with a bipod.  Should a full bedding job be in order?  Thanks again!

Most of those that have fully bedded the forend have the best luck with a bipod, but you won't know until you try it, my O-ringed .223 Ultra Varmint shot one of the best groups I've ever shot with a bipod under it.

Some shoot great off Bi-Pods, as do some Handi's with the O-Ring. I have found with my limited experiance, the O-ring will work but may depend on the forarm,most wood based forearms seem to work the best with this method as opposed to synthetic.. this worked well for me....It takes a little getting use too, but once you do it works well...
