New Handi .223
« on: March 06, 2007, 03:40:04 PM »
A funny thing happened last night. I looked in the gun cabinet and realized that I was fresh out of .22 caliber centerfires to play around with (having recently traded away my .22 Hornet barrel). A quick call to my local gun shop and I was on my way. It just so happens that a fresh delivery of Handi's was sitting pretty on the rack just begging me look at them. With 8 rifles in all ranging from a .22 Hornet youth model to a .500 S&W (Darn that's a big bore!!) Right smack in the middle just calling out my name was a pretty little .223 bull barrel Handi. My problem was solved instantly. Needless to say it practically jumped off the rack and into my hands. The money jumped out of my wallet and into their cash register just as quickly and into the truck it went headed for it's new home. I have to say, it looks real good sitting along with my ever growing collection. I think I am developing an addiction!! Hopefully there is no known cure!!   ;D ;D ;D

That is the very rifle I am currently drooling over. I'm trying to find the blued/wood heavy barrel .223. I already have a scope to put on it, just no rifle. It will be my first Handi.
