[QUOTE="sethk, post: 2273399, member: 31522"] Thanks everyone, for the input. It seems like a Handi consensus is developing here which agrees with the further research I've done (immense thanks to [URL="https://www.okshooters.com/member.php?4899-Old-Fart"]Old Fart[/URL] and [URL="https://www.okshooters.com/member.php?2388-44minimum"]44minimum[/URL] for the Graybeard Outdoors recommendation, I've spent some valuable, if excessive time on their in the last coupld days). While I've gone back and forth between Rossi and H&R/NEF, I seem to be pretty settled on the Handi-Rifle setup. One of the big kickers was finding out that there are so called NEF "Versa-Packs" floating around that include an offset .22lr barrel that can fit the standard Handi-Rifle frame. They are discontinued, but I can hope that I can keep my eyes peeled and snag one someday (another major benefit ofthe Handi-rifle: they are much easier to find used). So, here is my game plan as of now. Find a deal on a [URL="http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/61740"]Handi-Grip in .308[/URL] or a used Handi-Rifle workhorse to which I'll add a [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/956614/h-and-r-handi-grip-stock-and-forend-h-and-r-rifle-polymer-black"]Handi-Grip stock[/URL]. I could do this for $300 pretty easily but I'm going to try to take my time a find a good, quality deal. Get a scope for the .308 barrel (I don't know much about optics and am very open to recommendations for an inexpensive but well-built, no-frills scope to fit this set; I'm okay with something like a fixed 4x and would like to keep it under $100 or thereabouts). Send in my frame and get a .12ga, modified choke barrel from H&R ($115 or so, all told). Be hypervigilant about finding a used Versa-Pack or a .22lr barrel from one (these seem to go for around $200 lately user-to-user, but they certainly aren't getting any cheaper as time passes). Well, that's it. Maybe after a couple of years and 5 or 6 hundred bucks, I'll have the complete set-up. Wish me luck. [/QUOTE]
