h&r ultra fluted varmint

[dog slayer]

wondering if anyone has one or shot one with gould results? ive heard that theyre not that accurate considering theyre called a varmint rifle. the skelletonized model looks like a sweet little tack driver. are they worth the $?

I had the Ultra Varmint with the bull barrel, don't know about the fluted version but mine shot 1/2 moa with handloads.

hit and miss with these rifles. Mine wouldn't shoot worth $hit.

I've had a bunch of these over the years, and I agree, it's a crap shoot. Most are great shooters, some are absolute garbage.

In all honesty, however, I could make the exact same statement about Kimbers. At least with an H&R, if you buy one and aren't satisfied, you can sell it and be out...how much? A hundred bucks? Less? A cheap experiment, and if you get one of the good ones (and the majority are good) you've made out like a bandit.

I have one in .204 Ruger, bull barrel, it absolutely hates factory ammo, about a 5 inch group with the hornady stuff @100, handloads are a different story, pretty much 1/2 inch groups with 40 bergers, also took about 500 rounds for the groups to really tighten up, strange but true. I love the thing.

I have 3 H&R's
30-30= ~moa groups
.243= sub moa groups
.223 survivor = haven't shot it enough to know, 243 took it's place.
