Who has a HR&R/NEF single shot?

[migrant hunter]

Anyone got one of these single shots? I know a couple of people who had them and reported trigger and extraction problems. I'm kinda tempted by a 7-08 as a budget deer rifle package. I have .243 and a .308 bolt actions so i'm not after advice on alternative rifles and calibres. I just want to know if anyone has an NEF type single shot and likes it.

I have a Buffalo Classic in 45/70 It works great. I had to change the peep sights on it to get out a little further and work on some lead loads. I'm sure the guys will help you here. There is a web site called Graybeard outdoors and these guys have a forum just on NEF H&R Fierarms. They have helped me out with some of there experience. AGE

H&r/nef

I own four of them and have never had a problem with any. Stay awat from the stainless as i know of a couple that popped open when fired.

I have a Superlight in .223 Remington. It works just as it is supposed to and I like it a lot.

 

[Cummins4x4]

No problems with mine, it's the 500S&W, lots of bang for the buck.

I have the 45/70 Buffalo Classic and it been great so far. I had a H&R 410 shotgun for 20 years without a hitch. Its like any other piece of machinery you look after it and it will last forever.

Currently - H&R Tamer 20 ga. 3" mod choke, ejector (I think its goin in the EE today)
Previously - Ultra Varmint 243 bull barrel....it shot pretty good.

I've had several, still have a couple...excellent value for the money. My Buffalo Classic is one of my favourites.

I have two, a model 058 30-30/ 20 gauge and a survivor in .223, both shot great.

More positive feedback than I expected!
How about accuracy in the "deer calibres"?

 

[Beadwindow]

I can't speak for the deer calibres, but I have one in .22 hornet that suits me fine.

I have a 45-70 Buffalo Classic
a HB2 .204 Ruger
a SB2 .270
a Tamer .410
all three rifles are tack drivers with handloads.
The .204 puts 3 shot groups almost into 1 hole.
The .270 makes a ragged hole with 3
The 45-70 makes a BIG hole with 3
I bought the Tamer for my 12yr old for grouse...it works good and is perfect size for a kid.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.Lightening the trigger isn't a big job and the stocks on the SB2's have lots of meat to remove so you can fit them to your liking.
Which is why my .204 has a fine wrist and a Schnabel fore end

I'm a happy 38-55 target model and 223 varmint owner.Both great to reload for and both are perfect for what i need.
45-70 will be coming soon i hope

 

[jklutes]

I gotta a HB .243,HB .223 and a 44 mag to play with and all shoot great.I plan on following with a couple more

 

[gmj]

I have one in 22 Hornet as well, great little firearm for the money.

 

[BLR 81]

I have a .30-30 and a .45-70, both of which shoot MOA or better, I love em both. I had a stainless .223 which I sold and kick myself for doing so to this day. Keep the gun well oiled and lubed and you'll never be dissapointed!

What is the high of your front sight? .404" ?

 

[anschutz]

Got a NEF in .204 and I like it for a bounce around gun.

 

[rig_pig69]

I have a .204, and just sold a .17hmr. I don't think you can beat them for the price. The only thing I would change is trigger tune-ability. It's not that it's unmanagable, or even bad... I'd just like it @ 2.5 lbs like the rest of my rifles.

 

[gunlaker]

I have one in .223 that I bought used and never had a problem with. It's not as quite accurate as some of the more expensive rifles, but it shoots better than the $300 I paid for it .
