Handi's hands down

[mtbugle]

sat at range took handi 17hmr and new 25-o6 barrel on my ultra. also took enfield converted to 338 and an o3 that is sporterized.  the 17hmr will hold 3/4 to 1 moa at 200meters all day long if i don't get into too much wind.  the 25-06 new barrel also held moa at 200 meters.  the bolt guns didn't do nearly as well.  my friends bolt ruger 243 also just barley made holding moa. also was a great day to spend shooting.

The more i hear and see of the 17 Sportsters the more i think i need to get one , i have a 17 in a bolt gun that shoots fine But you can never have to many rifles . Right ?

couldn't agree more stimpy.  My brother's .17hmr sportster is the reason I bought my handi.  I was looking at .223 rifles for varmint purposes when I shot his .17and just had to have a handi.  Best decision I had made in a long time.  Everytime he comes out to the house he loses that one for a least a few rounds.
