Hey JeepKid- took your word for it. Ordered a H&R Ultra Varmint today in .223 Rem, 24" heavy bbl, laminated stock. Should be in within a week. Hope she shoots well. I'll post targets after I get the loads worked out.
Maybe I'll have to send it to the member Dave White, who's a gunsmith on the H&R's. He's posted some very impressive photos and writeups on the work he and his company are doing to these H&R rifles. Could be the start of another customizing job!!!!!
