Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots So, handi rifles

I have 4570 .35 whelen 308 2506 243 12-3.5
It gave ne a chance to own and shoot cartridges I couldn't afford otherwise. Being a lefty adds to that. I likexwoids so tge length is an advantage
The .243s had 11 inch twist at times so don't like 100 gr bullets.
The whelen was the only one giving me fits changing poi drastically with different weight bullets. I finally found a pressure point that tamed harmonics.

I have a few Handi Rifles in 300BLK, 360 BHMR, 50cal ML, 348 Win, 357 Max, 30-30AI, and I have stubbed a few too.

They have their nuances but they get the job done.

Wolfdog91: I have 3 "Handi-Rifles" myself and have mounted scopes on and sighted in two more Handi-Rifles for friends.
All 5 of them passed "my" accuracy standards and I enjoy them.
My three Handi-Rifles are heavy barrels (I don't know if they made sporter weight barreled models?) in 17 Mach2, 17 HMR and 204 Ruger. All three shoot well even with moderate power scopes on them of modest value/quality.
That is part of the reason I tried them in the first place. The modest values (back then!) so when I am out in the woods loafing/hiking/camping/fishing I can bring them along as a truck gun and not fear losing the bank if one were to be stolen.
The other two Handi-Rifles my friends bought were both heavy barrel models in 17 HMR and they shot rather well also.
I am somewhat impressed by the "single-action" trigger pull (let off) on all the ones I've owned/tried.
My local gunshop had one in a few months back in caliber 280 Remington and it sold quickly - don't have any reports on its accuracy though.
Hope you can get your Rifle settled in. What caliber is it by the way?

P.S.: EVERY and I mean EVERY one of my Ground Squirrel Hunting friends who see my shooting my Handi-Rifle in 17 Mach2 pleads to buy it from me. No sale - is my reply.

I am intrigued at the idea of a bipod on these. I have two, a 444 and a 45 convesion to muzzleloader and these are my goto for Ohio deer.
