Am I a Handi Haulic
« on: April 15, 2005, 07:06:38 AM »
I really don't know the defination of a Handi Haulic but I may be one. I own 16 complete NEF/H&R guns. (22-250, 243, 270, 7mm08, 7x57, 7x64, 357, 35 Whelen, 44 mag, 45-70, 450, 45 muzzle loader, 20 Gauge Ultra Slug, 12 Gauge Ultra Slug, 20 Gauge and 12 Gauge Partner) I also own 14 extra barrels. (22 Hornet, 223, 25-06, 280, 30-30, 308, 30-06, 50 cal muzzle loader, 410, 28, 20, 16, 12, and a 12 turkey barrel). You tell me am I a Handi Haulic or just a NUT...

PS: I think NEF/H&R should just give me the 7.62x39 barrel!!!!!!!

I think I got some catching up to do. Almost sounds like a good excuse to go shopping. 8)

:D , You kenbev, are a true and complete Handiholic!!! With a great collection like that you could either open your own store or be this years poster boy for H&R!!!
I agree with Deadeye, the company should just make you a gift of either the 7.62x39 or .500 S&W as a gesture of thanks to such a great customer!!!....<><.... :grin:

Ah ha, now that you claimed them to the board, we expect 30 postal match cards :wink:   I bet your ammo collection is more impessive than some Wal-mart shelves.  Nice collection.  BuzzKill.

I started getting these guns for my kids to hunt with. I has gotten kind of out of control. I don't reload for any of them. But then I don't shoot alot either... That 7x64 ammo is hard to find in the 140 grain....

This may sound a little crazy ... but I am curious what one box of factory ammo for each caliber you have would total up to? I am guessing but I think it would be like in the millions of dollars.

Yeah, I have to agree. The price of the rifles makes you want to buy more 'cause they are afordable. Pretty soon you've got a stockade.

Yes, you are a Handi-holic. How can anyone resist?

You sir, are not a Handi-holic.....

You are THE Handi-holic.  8)

We bow to your resourcefulness and determination.  We also stand in awe of the forgiving nature of your better half. :grin:

Just for grins, what complete set does SHE collect?  Diamonds? Pearls?  :shock:

Hats off to you my friend.  My .270 and .410 Handis are looking like a pretty wimpy team.  :oops:  

Now, if you can just DECIDE which one to carry..........  :?

kenbev, It just hit me after re-reading this thread..."I started getting these guns for my kids to hunt with.", now there is a great excuse I have not heard anyone else here use (yet!!). Just point to your kids as the reason you have so many Handi's!!! :) .   Tell me, did your wife believe it? Do you think my wife will believe me if I tell her any more I get are for my granddaughter? Do you think it will work if I get my 15 month old granddaughter a nice Buffalo Classic and have it rebored to a 45-120? Do you think she could handle the recoil? I could really use a new excuse. I know all Handi's and barrels look similar to someone who is not a Handi-holic but the old "I have had that one a long time Honey, don't you remember seeing it before?" is starting to wear pretty thin around here. I know this is a lot of questions to hit you with all at once buddy, but a great idea like yours cannot be ignored, and thanks for such a wonderful reason to buy more Handis....<><.... :-D  :-D

Hey MSP, works fur me!  My grandsons are 8 and 6.  I should be able to get some wear outa that excuse/reason.LOL    You can't teach them to shoot something that you haven't fired a few times to "Break-in" for them.  That's the beauty of it.  Thanks guys, that takes care of that LITTLE situation for me.
