Harrington & Richardson, in cooperation with AAC, is now producing a Handi Rifle chambered in .300 AAC BLK. This is probably the cheapest way to get into the .300 AAC BLK game.

H&R Handi Rifle in .300 AAC BLK Suppressed vs. UnSuppressed

New in the product lineup for 2012 is the Harrington and Richardson Handi-Rifle chambered in 300 AAC Blackout. This rugged, optics-ready break action single shot has been configured for silencer use with 5/8 -24 muzzle threads and includes a Picatinny scope rail and has no iron sights. The light-weight profile 16.1 inch barrel has a 1/7 twist to deliver accurate shots with high performance hunting ammunition and heavy subsonic rounds from Remington, Barnes, and numerous other makers. The phosphated steel action and barrel are complimented by the compact and lightweight black, super-tough, high-density polymer stock and fore-end. All models are equipped with the H&R Transfer Bar System that makes the Handi-Rifle one of the safest single-shot rifle platforms in the world today.

    The Handi rifles are inexpensive, so I can see the appeal for someone who is already invested in 300BLK. However, a 300 Handi rifle seems like a niche product. If someone wants a supersonic 30-cal, H&R already made .30-30 and .308 Handi rifles. Suppressed subsonics? A $600+ suppressor on a $200 rifle? Seems a little ... I dunno. It only really makes sense if you already have a .30cal suppressor.
