Nice looking new rifle from NEF, but...

Check it out, first rifle on top.

That's a good looking rifle, but it's only available in .45/70. Nothing wrong with that, but I would like to see that one in a .25-06 or .30-06 class rifle. Heck, I bet a .300 Winchester would sell good too. Anyways, good looking gun.

I like laminate/stainless, but dislike the thumbhole.

Thumbholes are for Coffee cups.

Thumbholes are for Coffee cups.

I always refer to them as Bumhole stocks.

What is the appear of the HR rifles? Is it just that their cheap? Not to bash anyone who has chosen to buy one, but I've handled a few and they felt like a polished turd. Poor fit and finish, rough opening and an all around single-shot Cooey (I cut my teeth on a single shot Cooey .410 so this isn't a bash at all) feel that I can't get past. With other quality single shot rifles out there, why would anyone buy the cheapest, most inferior product they could?

I'm just curious.

Considering you can load up the 45/70 to near .458 Win. Mag. velocities I imagine it could!

Best to use your toes.

I think the appeal is the low price, definitely not the fit and finish.
