Help me decide on a single barrel 12-ga

[nasem]

Hello everyone,

Haven't posted in a long time, as I have been just as long away from the shooting world.

anyways, I am looking for a single barrel, I prefer one of the more modern ones (rossi, NEF, etc), but my only criteria is, I'd like it with a cock on opening mechanism.  Anyone know which brand would have this feature?

thanks in advance

..... looking for a single barrel, I prefer one of the more modern ones (rossi, NEF, etc), but my only criteria is, I'd like it with a cock on opening mechanism.  Anyone know which brand would have this feature?

cock-on-opening feature?  Like a Browning BT99?  That's a very nice, and VERY EXPENSIVE single-twelver usually used by trap shooters!
 
But singleshotguns like a Winchester M37/M37A/M370, Savage-Stevens M94, NEF/H&R, Rossi, and others (even the Ithaca Single-Six lever singleshotgun) ..... all had/have external hammers built into them as part of their safety-features!  Usually for beginners or novice shooters.
 
I'm only aware (at this time) of the BT99 having a cock-on-opening feature or mechanism.
 
ADDED:  I knew a 'professional' trap shooter who used a BT99 with a release-trigger ..... dangerous to use if one doesn't know what he's doing.  Also the BT99 looks like a single-barrel Citori in many ways, with and enclosed action.
 
The singleshotguns I've handle or shot most of them.  Owned about half of them.
 
One really important feature I like about the H&R singleshotguns is the "button" they open by rather than a LEVER.

  If you can live with a import gun the russian built hammerless single shot is low priced and very rugged.  Remington imported them for a few years then stopped a few years ago I think they were called model SPR 100. You can find them used for under $ 100.00 or Buds Guns sells the new model with black plastic stocks for a little over $100.00. They have a nice feature in that you can select either a auto ejector or extractor with the flip of a lever.

ahhh, I knew I came to the right place

Thank you guys... and you are absoloutly correct, the remington spr 100 (now called remington spartan 100) is the one. They are kinda rare tho, gunbroker only showing 1 or 2 listing.

If I can steal one for a 100, I'd be very happy

Academy Sports has a folding shotgun, not sure if all guages, that cocks on opening.
