Who likes the H&R handy rifle?

[6.5x55swm]

I just picked up a H&R handy gun II in 44 mag and can't believe how great this little rifle is. Very light small and easy to use and the best of all is how well it shoots, 3 shot at 100yds are touching with hornady 225gr ftx, can't wait to hit the woods, just saying

My buddy has an older "Handi Gun" with a 20ga and 30-30 barrel. Its an excellent rifle. Another friend has a newer one in 500 SW mag, and while its a fun rifle, seems to constantly break open upon firing. Hope yours treats you well.

I have a Handi-rifle in 35 Whelen that I just picked up. It is a great little rig. Had it out on the weekend deer hunting. Still looking for its first kill.

I put about 15 rounds down the pipe this morning with no issues

Love my H&R. Got a customized combo-barrel setup; a .44 magnum with peep sight, and a .22 K-Hornet heavy barrel. Can switch out from one to the other in about 30 seconds.

So, short range gopher gun and long-range gopher gun, in one neat little package.

No such thing as overkill!

I had one in 45-70 and loved it! Still kicking myself for parting with it.

 

[hoytcanon]

I do too...

 

[caperbound]

I like them. Had one in 357 I shouldn't have traded off.

 

[The Kurgan]

I want a shorter barreled one in 32-20 and 327 magnum with some fancy laminate wood and good iron/peep sights.

 

[SuperCub]

Mine came in 20ga.

Have one in .223 - with an old Weaver wide angle scope mounted. Real good little truck gun. And for the price shoots "OK" but don't expect to win any long range competions with it. But then I'm biased because I'm comparing it to my Rem Model 7 .223 ... the "hell on gophers" gun ...

I have 22 LR, 35 Rem, 35 Whelen 357 mag, and 45-70 all are well built reliable and very accurate.

one feature I like is that mine has a ejector not a extractor

Might need a good cleaning around the breech, hinge and extractor areas. Mine did the same thing, cleaning helped a bunch. Would lock up tight with little effort on an empty chamber but would require the action to be slammed shut HARD with a cartridge chambered.

Mine's a .22 Hornet, loves the Prvi 45gr ammo.

Had one in 270, have one combo 30/30 and 20 gauge , 25 06 coming, yes I like them wish we could buy barrels.

 

[SuperCub]

I think they're icky.

 

[TheTooner]

I like my Superlight .223Remington (with a spare barrel in .308Winchester) very much.

 

[Bigfoot 870]

Me I also wish we Canadians could buy barrels

 

[hoytcanon]

I think they're icky.

No... they are not "icky"...

Handi in 45/70, extractor model, 4 power scope...my main hunting rifle. Simple,reliable,easy to carry,very accurate and has enough oomph to take any canadian animal ( even trough trees if it has to...) Sold my 300 WM and 243 bolt actions, never looked back.
