Your Welcome:

Yup...the little Handi can be a real tack driver with the right loads...and everyone that has one really likes them..These small bores are really addicting...I just got a bolt in 223...and already trying to figure out how I'm going to get more of them  :D :D :D :D The price is really right on these rim fires in a Handi..

I do not have one, but it is that gun that got me turned on to H&R guns to start with. I was in Duck Hill and the sales guy said they shot real good. Starting doing a little research found this place among others and I was bit by the Handi bug.
