You know, a few years ago I would have said yes, but I don't know anymore. Not that the handi rifles are bad because they are not. Although I have heard of the .243 in particular having problems with the cases sticking, don't know if they fixed that or not.

The thing is now for around the same money you can get a decent bolt action, like the Stevens 200 which are basically a non accu trigger savage, or the mossberg bolt guns. Like I said, there is nothing wrong with the handi rifles, but when you can get a proven bolt action design for the same or not much more money that is hard to pass up.

My opinion anyway.
