well guys after getting my handi doing all the work to prep it had it shooting good drove 5 hours to camp friday and fired it 12 times to check my zero and get used to it with heavy clothes on
took the last empty case out of the breech closed it put it in the case got up sat morning ready to put some meat on the table found my release lever flush with the reciever!
coulnd't open the action!! to load it!! had no spare gun with me drove back 5 hours home to get my savage ml10-2 and drove all the way back and got to hunt sunday for 2 1/2 hours
and had to come back home sun night to be at work today. OH and sat was my birthday! NICE! so i call H&R they tell me they cannot do anything for me and that they are closing early on wed! and its a barrel lug broken so i have to send the gun back! so i paid 279 gun 70 for a scope mount 140 for a scope 35 for a stock to fit me a 40.00 recoil pad a 50.00 buttstock recoil reducer 300+ for dies, brass, barnes bullets and powder plus 15 hours of driving time and fuel @ $3.15 per gallon
all for NOTHING i will not even get to hunt with it this year! yes i am a little pissed i wanted to get 4 more barrels but not now so i guess i lose an entire seasons use for my over 900.00 i should have bought the NIB ruger 44mag bolt gun i found for 400.00 and it came with rings urggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! my first and last handi to say the least
I was so excited to actuallly have a bonna-fide rifle season here in indiana h&r says they will replace the gun but where does that leave me with all the other costs i incurred?
I dang sure do not trust the design at all! i will see what h&r offers and i will have to see how this goes i will keep you all posted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
