AAC Blackout Handi-Rifle Going Strong

H&R has been overwhelmed by the popularity of its Model AAC Handi-Rifle since its launch in 2012. Maybe that’s because it has proven to be one of the most fun and easy-to-use rifles on the market.

Advanced Armament Corp. chambered the Handi-Rifle in its 300 AAC Blackout round, which is available in 110- to 240-grain rounds. This durable, optics-ready, break-action, single-shot rifle is ideal for beginners and just plain ol’ fun for experienced shooters. It’s configured for using silencers fitted for its lightweight 16.1-inch barrel with 5/8-24 threads and a 1/7 twist.

The rifle, which weighs 6.9 pounds, delivers accurate shots downrange whether it’s fed heavy subsonic or high-performance hunting ammunition. Its phosphate steel action and barrel are complemented by super tough, glass-filled, black polymer furniture.

All models are equipped with H&R’s transfer bar system that makes the Handi-Rifle one of the safest single-shot platforms available. MSRP: $359.95.
