I've owned two handi rifles in the past,the 223 was a bull barrel and shot 45 grainers in 5/8 inch three shot groups at 100 yards,the other was a 243 with a light barrel and synthetic stock it was capable of 1 inch or less groups at 100 yards,they aren't expensive but the ones I've owned shot good.you can get them in a bunch of calibers and stocks and barrels.good luck.
