Finally got around to cleaning up my shop and taking a group pic of the Handis!!

21 rifles and 6 extra barrels, there's a 20ga and 22Mag on the wall above the rest of the group.

Tim

If you need help shooting them just send a few my way , i will return them cleaned and oiled , someday .

Or how about a handi rental service , linda like the movie places .

quickdtoo · « **Reply #6 on:** August 30, 2006, 01:52:16 PM »

Thanks fellas! Handi rentals.... now there's a novel and enterprising idea!!

Shaner, I'm afraid now that the wifey might just make me move in there now that there's room, I think I need some more Handis so there's no room for a bed!!!

quickdtoo · « **Reply #10 on:** August 30, 2006, 05:35:13 PM »

You can see it in the FAQ and Help sticky under Peep and Firesights, it's a .45-70.

Nices pics, thanks! I really like your non factory choices the 338-06 and 405 Winchester, i'd like to see an accuarcy write up on both. An Africa hunt with both (non Big 5) would be a blast!

quickdtoo · « **Reply #12 on:** August 30, 2006, 07:15:17 PM »

I'm afraid you won't get an Africa report from me, but range reports are available!! The first .405 and .338-06 reports were a year ago, here's one of the last trips. Without the search feature working, I can't dig the old ones out, sorry.

Here's the targets for the range trips...

A couple .405Win articles, my inspiration!!

Thanks Mac, might, just maybe, will be adding a .280AI to the family in the near future!

Wow, nice collection Tim. My collection is a little on the puney side but your manlicher 45-70 is what inspired me to build my own. Is that a straight grip on that 45-70? Jelous.

quickdtoo · « **Reply #16 on:** August 31, 2006, 06:16:18 AM »

Thanks!! The butt stock on the mannlicher is a Target/BC stock, I put it on it since I don't shoot heavy loads in it.

Tim

Uncle Ji · « **Reply #17 on:** August 31, 2006, 09:56:57 AM »

TIM, Thank you very much sir, the 338-06 has always been an intriguing round I never being a fan of belted magnums. Did you have a 30-06 barrel bored out? Thanks again!

quickdtoo · « **Reply #18 on:** August 31, 2006, 10:16:34 AM »

You're very welcome!! I had a 26" barreled .25-06 barrel rebored and rechambered for the .338-06 A-Square which is a little different than the .338-06 Wildcat, longer and thicker brass. Wayne did the rechamber using his standard .338-06 practices, but my Weatherby .338-06 A-Square dummy round wouldn't fit in the chamber, he had to lengthen the chamber and enlarge the neck slightly. Both Mac11700 and I had this rechamber/rebore done by him.

I feel bad, I only have 15 Handi's..........

Brett · « **Reply #20 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:36:58 PM »

Quick you really need to get help... No seriously, it looks like you are running out of room to store all those Handi's. If you'ld like you can send a few my way I still have some room in my safe. Tell you what I would even be willing to take them out and shoot them occasionally so that they don't get stiff and rusty. So what do you say Tim

Sounds like a plan Brett, but Stimpy got in line ahead of ya!!

So..... you've maybe decided that these H&R's are something you think you might want to possibly get into seriously?

Nice looking group of Handi rifles there Tim

Why is it I always end up at the wrong end of the line

oldandslow · « **Reply #28 on:** September 03, 2006, 05:39:04 AM »

Quick, guess you were. She let me pick up a new 45 LC single action that afternoon. Now can you do something about the weather? It started raining about 2:30 AM Sat. morning and has'nt stopped. I may have to throw some plastic bottles out in the driveway after lunch and shoot them from the carport.

quickdtoo · « **Reply #29 on:** September 03, 2006, 05:49:39 AM »

Congrats on the new shootin iron!! You can send some of that rain this way, we haven't had enough rain in the last month or 2 to amount to anything, just enough to make the dust on my car a mess!
