Your groups with a Handi-Rifle depend on whether you can find ammo that your gun likes. When I first got mine in .223, it wouldn' t shoot 2" groups at 100. I floated the barrel, had the trigger worked, and found out that Black Hills ammo is matched well to my gun. Now a 1" group isn' t great for me at 100yds....

That said, I had one in 243, and it was a 1.5" gun consistently, with no work at all.
