You sound like one of those handiholics. Ain't it great? I love the handi rifles. I have a 44 Mag synthetic and a BC, a handi 45-70 a stainless 223 sybnthetic and my favorite the 26 inch 280. I also have a turkey 12 Ga. I still want a 30-30 barrel and a new 22 Hornet barrel. Good luck with yours. I think my new 25-06 is going to retire several other guns . What a deer thumper.
