Does anyone know if the Handi- rifle comes in .35 Whelen.

There is one for sale in Meridian on gunbroker.

If you got another handi rifle, you can send in the receiver and they'll put on another barrel and set they head space. I've been told you can then use either barrel but someone whose had it done might speak up.

A good friend of mine has a handi-rifle with a .45-70 and .243 barrel. So, yes, it can be done.

We have a couple at Big Daddy's on Terry Rd in Jackson.

 

[surehuntsalot]

Hope y'all are ready for some recoil.

Shot it today, shoots very good, recoil no worse than a 30-06.

I know that a lot of people have been looking forward to these coming out. I believe that H&R/NEF had released a limited # of 200 of these last year to see how they were accepted. I have seen them popping up on Gunbroker so they must have felt it was worth a bigger run. Me I will just stick with the 45-70 still very happy with it.

Had a 45-70, wasn't to pleased with it,shot a couple deer and hogs and did not get a exit wound, several buddies have them and the same result, have been on some long blood trails, have shot 4 deer with a .35 whelen, one was at two hundred yards, thru both front shoulders and out the other side, 45-70 is good, .35 whelen is awesome, just my opinion.

it wasn't the 45-70,it was those Hornady bullets,there are some bad batches out there.
shot 4 deer with my 45-70,lost 2 and did a very poor job of dispatching the other 2,all with the Hornady bullet
switched over to the 300gr Winchester HP so far 5 for 5 DRT no tracking at all

 

[cranedriver]

+1 on the bad batches of Leverevolution bullets. I haven't had any bad luck with them but know some that have. The ones I have have 2050 fps on the box the bad batches are the 1850 fps bullets.

looserlution bullets......
