I think I may have started something
« on: November 07, 2005, 02:04:49 PM »
Well yesterday morning after some friends and I got done cutting and splitting wood; one of my buddies says wait here I have something to show you. He came back and in his hands he has a Handi .223 ultra! I said what made you decide to get this??  :grin:  He said well I liked yours and just had to have one and asked if I would help him set it up and I said sure I would. There were a five other guys there and they thought it was a pretty nice gun. Then my buddy says to me 'oh you can buy more barrels?"  and some of the other guys there said oh yeah?  :-D  Looks like I will be getting some more range time after deer hunting with my buddies and perhaps a few more handi rifles at the range.  Well I guess you kinda had to be there, but wanted to share it with you guys.

Have a good one.

I think that about six or seven of the fellows at work now have handis. Some have even bought them from me. It is really catching...

A few months ago a good friend and I are doing the Saturday gun shop crawl and we venture into a shop that usually has a good selection of Handi's.  My buddy see's a used .223 Ultra with the 24" heavy barrel on the used rack before I do. The gun looks like its never been fired and the price is $199.00.  

He says that he believes its time to become a Handi owner.  I tell him  that if he doesn't buy it for that price, then I will.

He takes the gun up to the counter and as the clerk is getting the paper work together my buddy says, "That wouldn't be your best price, would it?".  The clerk tells him to wait a minute and walk's back into the office area.  A short time later he returns and says, "How about $179.00?"  I just about vapor locked.  My buddy looks at me and just grins.

Just ain't right for a rookie to get such a deal.

Have a great day!

Ain't that the truth. It's strange the virus of not being able to pass up a good deal, and that goes hand and hand with these rifles.
Price is right and the performance speaks for it's self.
You buy one....then another barrel....then another reciever...and it starts all over again :)
