Does any one have any experience with the NEF/H&R Handi rifle. I've got the bug to get a rifle in .17 HMR. I looked at the Marlin .17VS, it seems pretty nice but maybe the Handi rifle in .17 HMR and an extra barrel in a large caliber would be a better alternative. I'm assuming the rifle's design will accept both a rim fire and center fire barrel? Any suggestions on a place to buy a Handi Rifle?

Worry is the interest humans pay on the debt of miscalculation.

  I have a New England Firearms Handi rifle in .223, i sent it back to the factory and had it fitted with a .22 Hornet barrel and a 20 gauge
  fully rifled slug barrel, all three have a scope mounted, nothing
  high end. I am looking to trade this but i'm not sure what the package is worth. Any thoughts on value, thanks

  Nice gun, we have sold a few. Had a customer tell me though that the barrel heats up very quickly and the shot groupings get worse the more times in a row its shot.

  The "generic" Contender as some of us call the handy rifle will do an excellent job for most people.Go for one,Bob.
