Question about a Handi combo
« on: December 06, 2009, 05:09:04 PM »
I am in the market for a 243. I was looking on Sports South Inc gun catalog to see if the had any Handis in stock. As my luck would have it they did not. But I found a combo that said it comes with syn. stocks nickel frame and blued barrels. One barrel is a 22 inch 20 gauge and the other barrel is a 20 inch 243 barrel. I quickly checked on the H&R web site and they show no such beast. I was just wondering if this maybe some left over stuff from years back and if this is the 243 superlight barrel? Retail price was $328.67 I wonder what the real world price would be?

They make special runs of guns all the time, probably just one of those made for sports south.  Larry
A gun is just like a parachute, if you ever really need one, nothing else will do.

I just picked up the same combo that you are talking about. I called H@R before I bought it to make sure that it was able to take hi pressure barrels. They said all was good.
It has a 243 superlight and a 20 gauge that are both blued.
The stock is a youth synthetic stock and a nickle frame.

It looks cool all black with a nickle frame, and my daughter loves it. Just have to work up some loads for her.

Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens!!

You can't fix stupid!!!!!!

Chevyone what loads did yours seem to like. Did you have any problems with the barrel heating up and affecting the way it shot?
