Almost ready to go.
« on: August 29, 2004, 01:38:58 AM »


Here's a picture of my Handi in 30/30. I just got through mounting the scope and will be heading out to the range this afternoon to sight her it. The scope is an old Tasco 3-9x 32mm I had laying around. I really wanted to put something else on her but school starts on Monday and the kids needed new shoes :grin: .  I am using medium rings I got off of Ebay a while back and a Weaver, not H&R rail, because I got it on the cheap last year on sale after hunting season was over. I will also be putting on a hammer extension. Midsouth has one that mounts on the hammer so it can be cocked from either side.

I am still working up a hunting load for her. It will most likely consist of either a 160 or 170 grain cast bullet. Which ever one I can get to shoot better.

Here's a pic of cast bullets I'm working with.


The one to the left is Lee's C309-160-R and the other is Lee's C309-170-R. I like the flat point 170 better. It should be just the ticket for whitetail.

Been there done that with the Kids thing JohnDy.I love mine but they kinda remind me of ticks....annoying,sometimes painful,will suck ya dry and always a relief when they are gone.... :-D   Rifle looks good though!! Good luck with it. I justify buying gun stuff now cause it's "for the grandson"  :)....P.S. If you'll PM me...I have an extra hammer extension sittin in  a drawer...it's got your name on it but not an address and the free shipping will definitely be less than Midsouth..... :D
