You fellas are awsome, I really appreciate all your input. I will give them a call on Monday, and ask more questions. I figure I will have to go through my local gun store to get an extra barrel, which means the same shipping stuff. Oh well, the gun will be used more next year anyway.

I agree that nearly every time you get what you pay for. I would figure this applies to this gun as well, but from what I have been reading about it the past 24 hours folks seem very very happy with the Handi-Rifle's quality. If it were not for the masses, I would side with your opinion on this one.
I could spend more money, but in my situation it does not seem a logical move given my circumstances, and the potential quality of the Handi-Rifle, or a similar product. Where I live I can only use shotgun, or Muzzleloader in a rifle configuration. I will have the opportunity to go to Northern Michigan for a week every year or so, and maybe a trip out west. I just hate to lay down huge dollars on a high power rifle for so little use. The TC Encore would be awsome, but with two barrels and scopes we are near 1000 dollars. If I can do a nice setup with the Handi, stay under $500 and still have a quality weapon, it seems like a wise move to me.
In any event, I thank you all for your assistance.
