What are your favorite 4 calibers in the Handi?
« on: January 07, 2010, 12:47:32 PM »
What are your favorite 4 calibers? I would like to one day have some additional barrels all at once.
I wish they still had the old 45LC barrel.. :(

Thanks

If you asked which one goes out the door most often it would be the 44mag or 20ga. ;)
I think my 20ga. Tracker 1 is the most versatile firearm I own.

223 super 14
209x50 (OK, this one's an Encore)
30-30 (though I miss my 7x30 Waters, the 30 30 was the first contender barrel I've ever owned, sentimental)

224 GNR
223 Rem
243 Win
45/70 Gov

In that order , there is just something that I love about the little 224 that makes me grab it 9 times out of 10 , it has its special place right behind the seat of my pick-up now days , so I don't even have to take it out of the house anymore .

The 223 is just a great go-to fun gun , and for the 243 SL , it shoots were I point it , don't think I even ned to explain the last choice .  ;D
