Gunshow Handi
« on: February 21, 2009, 09:14:15 PM »
Just got back from a gun show here in Brisbane, Australia. There was only 1 Handi for sale, a 218 Bee/20g combo, after looking at it for a long time , I passed on it. If it had been a 30/30/12g I would have grabbed it.- Pete

Many here would have grabbed that Bee...self included.  ;D To each his own I guess.

A 218 bee would be a rare bird, and I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I'll bet even Tim doesn't have one!

You'd be right Jimbo, but even if I had the opportunity for one, it wouldn't really interest me unless it was cheap, had my eye on a 22 Jet barrel once, but passed on it, too much money. Stimpy has a Bee, not an original tho if they ever made one, there was a 221 Fireball listed on one of the auction sites once too. ;)

There is one thing good about having these differant or special caliber H&R's One Hole and that is that they do not spoil sittin in the dark as you can't shootem all at the same time ;) Kurt

They had $395 on it. That's about $255 U.S. I would have paid that happily, if it had been a 30/30. It had a scope. I'll keep looking. - Pete
