I missed this story. Gotta link?

Had many H&R shotguns for years before the Handi Rifles came out.

My first Handi was bought in 1994 as a spare gun for Moose camp.  A 30-06, and I still have it.  When I went to sight it in I found it shot tight groups, and the more I shot it the better it got.  That winter when I went out on snowmachine I took it along.  That was the year my buddy used it to kill a Wolf at 1000 yards.  Soon it was the only rifle I would take when knocking around in the hills during the winter.  I won't hesitate to shoot wolves, coyotes, or a fox out to 500 yards with either my Handi 30-06 or my Ultra .223. 

During Moose and Grizzly hunts I carry larger rifles, but the Handi is usually there as back-up and for the smaller stuff.  After snowfall and the bears go in, the Handi's are all I take.  Yes, the Handi will take a Grizzly Bear, but if I have a choice, I'll take a .338 just in case it gets  up close and personal with the bear.

An economic crash like the one of the 1920s is the only thing that will get the US off of the road to Socialism that we are on and give our children a chance at a future with freedom and possibility of economic success.
