New Handi rifles
« on: January 26, 2008, 03:03:45 PM »
Went to the gun show today, found a dealer that had some Handi's. I got a 17hm2 with black stocks, a 243 ultra with the nice wood stocks. Both rifles have heavy barrels and scope mounts. The hm2 is a 2004 and the 243 is new, after alot of talking, 300.00 out the door. I don"t think I made out to bad.

DCT that was a fantastic deal!!! Congratulations to you buddy. The .17 Mach2 is not being made in 2008 and it is a real great shooter. You did VERY well....<><....:)

The .243 Ultra is by far the most expensive of the 2 rifles but I would say you got a MINIMUM of $400
to about $450+ (plus tax and any fees) worth of guns if you bought them new at a dealer....<><....:)

ZX that was good work...they would have gone home with me if I saw them at that price too.

Have fun shooting!

Yes, a great buy on those 3. If the local traded 6 towards a TC (not to smart was he?) then there might still be 3 left. So run, do not walk, back to that store  and try to buy those last 3 at that price!!!....<><....:)

Like I have said before I picked up a Handi 30-06 scoped for $121.99 last year at Gander Mountain. Dale
