  If H&R is still using the USPS, good luck. A few years back I sent my BC in to have a .204 barrel fitted. It took the most convoluted route I have ever seen getting there and back. My rifle had a better vacation than I did!
  It was worth the wait, though. I'm pretty sure the Crows around here can hear a .204 round sliding into the chamber! They respect the accuracy and devastation it delivers and give it a wide berth.

It ain't just the 204 they're scared of it's the shooter. Give us a range report when it arrives.

My quandary, I personally, don't think I have enough Handi's but, I know I have more Handi's than I really need or should have.
