I think I have rifle ADD. I've been wanting a .223 and a few weeks ago I had settled on a Saiga. But, then I started looking at Handi Rifles and really got interested in the possibility of shooting several calibers out of the same rifle. The local gun shop has a heavy barrel Handi Rifle in .223 for $229, but they also have the Ultra Varmint with a laminated thumbhole stock and bull barrel for $379. Is there really any difference between the two, other than the wood and barrel?
I do have to say the Handi Rifle has probably the ugliest stock I've ever seen, but for less than the difference between the two I can get a replacement stock & forend and make it look like this:

I need to make up my mind and buy something before I change it again!
