Many thanks to 30gman for best rifle I've ever owned!
« on: September 08, 2012, 10:09:54 AM »
I bought a 30-30 Handi from 30gman.

Almost didn't.  No pictures.   :(

But I looked and he's been on here a while, good feedback and just seemed like an honest guy so I took a chance.

BEST CHANCE EVER!   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

30gman, thank you for a joy to shoot!

Today was the first day I have had to really have fun with it.

You can cover a five shot group with a nickel at 75 yds using factory Federal 150's. 

And I think the nickel is all me, I'm betting if it was in a vise you could cover it with a dime.

My uncle was with me and he couldn't quit grinning every time it was his turn.

I don't know how I lived without this rifle!

Few things are cherished by a sportsman as much as a truly accurate rifle...

Good luck with it!!

   The 30 30 that I have is my most accurate Handi that I own. It's a joy to shoot..I reload for it and it loves the 165 gr. Nosler Ballistic tip bullets. My favorite.

30-30 Handis are good shooters, no doubt about it!  ;)

Great shooting..!  My 30-30 did 5 at 100 inside a quarter on Thursday with Win Super X 150s.  Aren't they wonderful.  Almost sorry I bought all that 'sight in' ammo.

For those that do not reload, wouldn't it be great if there was a trustworthy Bullet Exchange?  Stupid Postal and 3rd Party Carrier regulations...we can't ship loaded ammo to one another.  And the Idiots out there would give us pause - not wanting to put something through our cherished rifles that we didn't roll ourselves or that came straight from an unopened Factory Box.  But there are those here that I trust to deal with me straight and for whom I would vouch if such an Exchange were permissible.

Ammo can be shipped UPS or Fedex ground when properly marked ORM-D, see the ammo shipping sticky in the Firearms/Ammo classifieds.  ;) There is a sample bullet source for handloaders also.

Quick,

I knew about Sample Bullets, just didn't know about the shipping of loaded ammo part.  Thanks for keeping it straight on GBO Forums!
