NEF and H&R rifles Help!!!

I just picked up a 30-30 NEF, but the barrel is stamped H&R, did i get ripped off

It's the same company.Your fine.The NEF handi is the same rifle as a H&R ultra.different wood.H&R is the parent company so having the barrel stamped H&R shouldn't be an issue.

Back to our regularly scheduled programing - If it was a used gun then it might be one that had a factory accessory barrel fitted from back in the days when we could send out guns back to the manufacturer without hassle.

Its a wonder it wasn't stamped Remington, which is the parent company of both...

Don't know if Rem got around to FN them up too but my old 158 H+R is a 1/2-1 MOA rifle with several handloads.A moose and many truckloads of deer later........Harold

... people will suspect that someone with a Handi-Rifle showed up your expensive premium brand bolt-action.

I have NEF/H+R single bangers in .308 Win and .45-70 GVT and they are both good shooters.
A lotta gun for the money.

Some tips I have gleened for these rifles...

Do not dry fire them...the firing pins can be damaged/bent with dry firing. Common signs of such a problem are misfires and the impact on the primer will be off set quite a bit.

It has a inertia driven firing pin via the hammer hitting a transfer bar, so hammer down while loaded is the safety...of course with safe muzzle direction.

These rifles also work best clean and gunk free.
