the handi-rifle has to be one of the most ...make that ... WAS ...disrespected shootin-iron out there ....
hey, my neighbor kid shot a 9 point buck last fall ...with a handi-shotgun ...fully rifled ...at about 250 yards ...used one of those $3.00 sabot slugs ...
anyway, didn't someone propose a match for this rifle a while back ? how about a rerun on this idea ? it certainly was mentioned enough during the chat about bpc ...
i had a hr in 30-30, but shot big bean cans ...30-30, loaded midway bulk 0.314 lead pistol wadcutters in it .. a ball !!
here would be my proposed rules ... or lack of same ... ( g ) .
handi-rifle ( * )or equivalent, boxstock, any centerfire caliber ( or gauge !! ) plus any sights, any load, standing only but cross sticks allowed ... no ” straight jackets” , slings, etc ..
10 shots for score targets at 100 yards, 2 targets submitted, best of the 2 targets is ranked, 2nd target for tie breakers.
( * ) note : since this would be standing, the great leveler of equipment, i would be tempted to allow any non-schuetzen single shot centerfire rifle ...such as ruger 1 ... discussion welcome .. )
any interest ?
