I looked at a Handi rifle @ the gun store yesterday and i kinda liked it. It is in .223 and I thought it would be perfect for varmints & 'yotes. Anyone got one of these? What do you think?

Got a Super Light synthetic model in .243. I've taken several deer with it. I keep it in the truck most of the year, just in case I see a yote. It's a tack driver.

Good rifles and just the trick for varmits and such. Most of them shoot extremely well to boot.

I had a heavy barrell .223 that was a tack driver, I had a 4x12 40 MM scope which was a great fit for it. I shot 1/2 inch groups at 100 yds. A great, inexpensive gun.

im am getting ready to but a 7mm-08 hadi rifle,i sure hope it shots as good as what i have heard from you guys,we will see,i am going to try the new fusion ammo threw it and some federal accue bond rounds,the fusion ammo was really impressive on its performance and accuracy in my 270..

OK, just got a synthetic stocked bull barrel .223 like the one in the pic above. Any advice on factory loads to start with?

Winchester white box 45 gr hollow point.Varmint pack I think.Seems to shoot pretty well out of most handi's.

I have a heavy barreled Handi in .223 Rem. Mine shoots Hornady V-Max bullets with select powders to less than an inch @ 100 yards, but i wouldn't call it a "tack Driver" compared to a couple of Remington 700 VLS rifles in my safe and in no way can it compare with a custom, but for the money, you can't beat them. Afterall, less than an inch is superb accuracy for a yote at Kentucky ranges.

I have 2 handirifles. One in a .223 and just bought another in a 7mm-08. Both a very good shooters and are well worth the money. The .223 is a nail driver and great for coyotes. I also just put a nikon prostaff 3x9x40 on the 7mm-08 and am looking forward to using it for the upcoming deer season. In my opinion more gun then what you pay for(which is very rare!)
