Last nite I was checking out some sale sites on the computer,and a guy was selling a nearly new Savage Axis in 243 with cheap bipod,sling,and a little illuminated retical Centerpoint scope for $250,and a bull barrel HandiRifle 223 for $200..As luck would have it I was first to respond,and I told him I wanted the 243 for sure,and I would look at the HandiRifle..Well to make a long story short I ended up getting both for $415...I like the little HandiRifles compactness,but can't help to wonder what the point of the bull barrel is in a break down singleshot..I always thought the bull barrel was a measure to counter the barrel heating up..I have known a lot of people that like hunting with the HandiRifles,but I hear nothing of people shooting them for anything else,.So what I'm wondering is what is the reason for the bull barrel in these guns.
