A man can never have too many
I was at Academy Sports yesterday and saw that they still had an H&R 45-70 on clearance. H&R discontinued the handi rifle line early this year. Needless to say I bought it and it is going to Slufoot this week for breechplug installation. I like my Ultrahunter so well that I will use this one as a backup with iron sights. That way it will be easy to carry the 2nd ML on every hunt.

Re: A man can never have too many
Heck yeah !
I didn't know that the had discontinued the handi rifle. That's a bummer big time. I wish I could have several different calibers in those little guns.
I would love to convert one to smokeless myself.
Be sure and post pictures when you get it back.

Re: A man can never have too many
I will post pics when I get it back. That was the last one at that particular store and I gave $229 for it on clearance. They can still be had on Gunbroker and such for approx $250. The new single shots that they are going to make will be made in china under a new design. Converted, they make a handy light weight muzzleloader that will shoot a 250SST sabotless at close to 2700 fps without sizing.

Re: A man can never have too many
No doubt! While I don't have a handi smokeless, I do have a handi in 25-06 and 7mm-08. The kids have killed several with the 7mm-08 with reduced loads. So that little single shot is close to home. The 25-06 ultra was a gift from my wife. I've only taken a couple deer with it but it is a handloaders dream. It seems to shoot whatever I put in it remarkably well. 100 gr bt and 120 gr game king and it's lights out! I just hope China can produce an adequate product.Tennessee Lead wrote:China wow!

Re: A man can never have too many
I got the barrel back from Slufoot yesterday. That was five days after I shipped it to him. I put it back together today. Replaced the iron sight with a set of Willams fire sights for a Savage 10ml II. Shouldered it a few times and the sight are easy to see and align right up when shouldered. Should make an excellent back up shot. Wild Bill it's time for a range session.

Re: A man can never have too many
Just let me know when Jerry and we will see what she will do.
Re: A man can never have too many
have you got to shoot it yet?
Re: A man can never have too many
I have shot it a few times with 250 TEZ and 10/60 load. At 2650+ fps that little gun rocks your world. No scope and iron sights make for a light ML but shots over 100 yards with those sights are not advisable. I plan to use it for a backup shot and also for hunting thick areas.
I also plan to load it with a saboted 200 SST and a light load of RL7 for my wife to hunt with.

I was looking at one at the local gun store. He had the synthetic blue with the surstock on it for $325. Those guns sure seem hard to find. I wasn't sure about the price or if I liked the stock.
I want to know if anyone has done the rossi wizard yet I love the stock on that little gun

Scat. My little buddy Wild Bill let me borrow one of his. I LOVE it. Honestly, with the distances i shoot, I see no reason to buy big gun stamp.
Re: A man can never have too many
There was a fellow on Gunbroker that had the blued camo synthetic stocked model with scope base for 275 free shipping to your FFL.ImThere wrote:I was looking at one at the local gun store.

You have to be careful because other manufacturers may size their barrels differently. I have seen some tighter at the muzzle than the breech, making them unfit for sabotless. The h&r's all seem to like the 250 sst or shockwave UNSIZED for a perfect sabotless fit. My latest one is a little tighter so I shoot the 250 TEZ in it.
Bucky, once you go smokeless it is almost impossible to go back.
