is the gun pretty accurate?
what size groups can you get?

You get what you pay for. You will get one that shoots great or one that wont. It all depends on how the hinge area is fitted. There is a lot more info on them at graybeardoutdoors. There is also some more info here http://www.angelfire.com/ma/ZERMEL/accuhandi.html

mine will put 3 shotsin about a 1/2 inch at 100 yards.I had the trigger worked to 3 lbs and put a rubber o-ring in between the forearm and barrel triigers are very stiff from the factory and if you send it in to get another barrel they will reset the triiger so if you want any differnt barrels do it before you have the trigger done

Most of them will shoot 1 1/2 inch groups. The low pressure cartridges shoot better yet. 44 Mag, 357 Mag, 30-30, 223, 45-70. I would stay away from the 243 and 22-250 . I have had a couple of them and had less than good results. They have gone to a mechanical extractor now which should fix the sticking case problem for good.

I bought my wife a .243 handi-rifle around thanksgiving and she loves it. I shoots 1" groups at 100 yards. No issues so far.
