Fun with Handi rifles....
Last week brought two new H&R Handi Rifles home.
A 7mm-08 and a .280 rem.
The 7mm-08m was a youth model with shorter stock...and a low comb...suitable for open sights (High comb Monte Carlo stock are hard to get your eye down on open sights and shotguns.)....with a 22" barrel makes a real compact rifle.
The .280 has a 26" barrel (?) and had a 3X9 Bushnell Banner scope (about a $100 buck scope...advertised as a dawn to dusk light gathering scope)
I was heading out to see my gunsmith guy... to fit a .308 barrel (previous purchase) on the .223 receiver also previous purchase) was going to build a "NATO package...LOL"...., but tried the .308 barrel on the new receiver.... as it turns out clips on the 7mm-08 receiver like it was made for it ....(still gonna have my guy check it out the fit).
Then took off the scope from the .280 and mounted it on the .308 set up........so now it is a .308 youth (kinda like the shorter stock..)
Next trip out to "The Place" and my rifle range....have a couple new set up to try out.
I guess it's a good ting to have options.....
