When H&R put out the Handi-rifle in 500 S&W Mag, I had to have one. Unfortunately H&R went the "save a nickel" route on this piece; the sights were plastic, both featured the latest "light pipe" technology, (which I hate for aesthetic reasons) and the stock looked like it had been hand selected from the least appealing hunk of wood possible. The gun shot well and had a great trigger, though, and I felt it would make a great working guys dangerous game rifle... so, i took the crappy plastic sights off and installed a williams receiver sight and a tall shorty ramp, then I used a leftover Ashley Outdoors sight post to determine the proper height of the front sight and ordered a gold bead blade. The wood still looked horrible, though, so when I got a chance to buy a used H&R Buffalo Classic stock, I took it. I'm happy with it. I wish now I had taken a "before" pic or two, but the gun looks a lot nicer than it did. That barrel is a tunnel of terminal pucker!http://www.firearmstalk.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/444
