Author Topic: .308? the Ultra or the Survivor (Read 524 times)

Hi,
I'm going to order a Handi-rifle in a .308 but am having a hard time deciding between the Ultra and the Survivor.

I'm looking for the best accuracy out to about 300-400 yards. I'm pretty sure the Ultra has a bull barrel and the Survivor has a heavy bull barrel.

Not really sure how the fit and finish compare to each other.

This rifle will be for anything from coyotes to deer and possibly bear. Just trying to figure out which one would be the best tack driver.

Any input is appreciated.

survivor 100% i got the Ultra, beautiful but i swapped out the laminates for survivor stock set. the heavy barrel will benefit ya. mine used to be a woods deer gun but is being changed to soley vermin hunting, i got a M91-30 for deer so alls good.

I agree with the previous posts. Survivor all the way. I love mine.

Plus, a Wally World, the Survivor is $30 cheaper than the Ultra. :eek:

Survivor.
And get the Choate forend.
Amazing setup. Out of the box SUB MOA.
Mine is SO much fun.
Slap a Limbsaver on the back, there's no cushion on the back of the stock, and the slipon Limbsaver can come off so you can get to your granola bar and fishing tackle which you smartly stored in the stock.

Well the Survivor looks to be what I need, now I just have to find it.

Went to Wal-mart, they didn't have one, so they called to order one, well wherever they order from didn't have any either. :?

So the search continues.
