Finally - my first Handi
« on: March 18, 2007, 10:48:36 PM »
I've been looking around at all of our local shops for a bull barreled .223 for a while. Couldn't even get anyone to order one for me. Was in BPS yesterday with my wife and they had a bull barreled, synthetic stocked 22-250 sitting on the rack calling out to me to buy her. So, I own my first Handi rifle. The trigger seems to be pretty good right out of the box, and I've read about them lightening up with use, so I'll leave it alone for now. I have a scope waiting to be put on and I'll try to post a picture when I get one.

 :P While I have owned numerous H&R rifles/shotguns in the past (12g, .204, .223, .45-70, 7x57) I have had to get rid of most of them for various reasons, the most recent being the BIG D. I have started to get back into shooting, and will be picking up a Buffalo Classic tonight! I can't wait. In my opinion there is no better gun for the money, and single-shots are just plain cool!!!
