Hey y'all!
I'm considering putting together one, possibly two, rifles for my nephews (who are early adolescents).
I'm wondering what folks' opinions are of the H&R 'Handi-Rifle', especially in .223 and possibly .308 I'm thinking the youth model might be better for their current size but they're headed into the big growth spurt so possibly not (I don't think the rifles are all that big to begin with).
If I can I'd like to go with the .223 for the slighter one and .308 for the larger, for ease and affordability of the round. If not .308 possibly .243
Recoil in a single-shot .308 might be my only concern (unless there are QC issues with these H&R's), but I don't think it would be all that bad for a young man who'll be over the moon to have it and get proficient with it.
Thanks!
