Can a growing boy live without a Handi .500??
« on: December 23, 2009, 09:47:33 AM »
Fact #1:  I've got a birthday coming up in April, and Patty's already asking me what I'd like to have.

Fact #2:  I've got this infatuation with straight walled Handis.

Question #1:  Do I NEED a .500.........Answer:  NO

Question #2:  Do I WANT a .500........Answer:  YES

Anniversary is just around the corner in January......Might be a good time for it ;)

I could make a .444 work for the birthday :D :D

This is a serious sickness ::) ::)

Bill you're as bad as my mother telling me to eat my spinach because there are kids starving all over the world.  I never could put it together as to how my eating my spinach was gonna help them. ??? ???

Seriously, a very special and blessed Christmas to you and Faye.

Yeah you could survive without it, but what would be the fun?  95% of the guns I bought I didn't need.  I could have done all of my hunting ever with a 12ga and any rifle in a deer caliber.
