i have a H&R handi-rifle .223 that shoots pretty good out to 200 yards. i also have an H&R ultra varmint .223 with the 24 inch heavy barrel and thatgun shoots super good. you can break clay birds all day long at 300 plus yards with that thing. about all i did to the ultra was a trigger job which is a pain with a single shot but it was worth it. very happy with that gun. i think i paid around $250.00 for it new.
