[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1452099, member: 10178"] The only problem with the H&R Handy for long range would be with your sighting system. If you are going to be using a scope then you will have to find a scope that will have enough travel to allow you to dial in. A 500 gr bullet going just under 1200 fps will need to be dialed to raise it right at 1850 inches at 1000 yards. With a scope that has 1/4 inch per click at 100 yards then at 1000 yards one click will move 2 1/2 inch each click so you will need 740 clicks if I did my math correct. I use a Vernier scale open rear sight on my Sharps and the length of the staff gives you plenty of elevation. There is no really good way to mount a Vernier on an H&R. Plus the triggers on the handy rifles are REALLY HEAVY. I have shot a few of them and even one of the buffalo classic hunter 45-70s that a friend did some hunting with that was scoped but he was only going out to 150 yards max and was using smokeless with 300 gr Sierra HP that were SMOKING fast. It is not cheep to go long range with anything so if you want to play you have to PAY. A good Vernier sight will cost more than a H&R Hand rifle.
