Hi,

I would like to buy an NEF Pardner single shot 12 ga as a gift (first shotgun) to a young man. Where would be the best place to buy (or order) one.I live in Montreal
Thanks
Guy Georges
 
Wholesale sports, and Cabelas have them online. I think they are 160 bucks. They are decent shotguns, but I chose to buy an old Cooey model 84. Cost me less than 100 bucks, and is kinda cool it's Canadian. If it's a gift and you want something new the Pardner is nice. Another option would be a Mossberg Maverick 88 Field. It has removable chokes, and is a really good gun for 220. I have had mine a year and love it. Fired over 1000 rounds without a single problem. Action is a bit stiff at first but smooths out after 1000 rounds quite a bit.
 
The Pardner has a transfer bar which the old Cooey's don't: you can't fire unless the trigger is pulled, so you don't have to worry about a young thumb slipping while cocking the hammer.

The Pardner also seems to be available with screw-in chokes. The the IC choke in and forget the rest.
 
I inspected a couple in 20/28 early this year and thought those to be well made with simple mechanism.
 
My only worry is the recoil

Hi,
Thank you all for your comments.
I bought a NEF Pardner 12 ga, 28 inch barrel, from Lebaron in Montreal. Cost was $169.00 (+ Tax)
I am impressed by the quality of the finish for the price.
I hope that this gift will be a good introduction to hunting for the young men to whom this shotgun is destined.
My only worry is the recoil, the gun is light, we will see ...
Thanks again,
Guy Georges
