which .204?
« on: December 23, 2005, 06:29:09 AM »
i'm contemplating getting a handi, in .204.  what rifle is having the best luck?  are there options that aren't listed on the website?  i'm probably going with one of the wood stock options.  another option i've thought of, it to get a .223 stainless, then get a .204 barrel added later.  the stainless reciever looks sweet with the blued barrel.  but after buying a .223, then sending it in for the .204, plus getting wood stocks bought, that is alot of time and money spent on a gun that i will be waiting FOREVER to shoot.  :(
so, i'm leaning towards the .204, and just wanting to get some input

thanks

There are only 2 choices for the .204, wood stocked 22" bull barrel Handi and the 24" fluted Ultra w/Choate Varmint stock. Same for .204 barrels.
