The last several Handi rifle that I have picked up have had very good triggers. The 223 handi rifles are very accurate. Never heard of one that would not shoot 1/2 inch groups. I have a stainless 223 on layaway right now as well as the Buffalo Classic in 45-70. I have a 280, 44 Mag and 22 inch barreled Handi in 45-70. I have also had the 30-06, 30-30 and 243 Ultra. Have a ball with your new rifles.
