How do you think recoil will be?
I'm really not sure on this one.
I have a 405 in a 28" Winchester Highwall that isn't that bad.
About like a 45-70 pushing around 2100fps in my opinion.
I am hoping the stock design and the recoil pad will help tame it some.
I also have one in a 24" Encore that hits pretty hard.
Never really cared for the way an Encore stock fit me.
There is something about a Handi rifle that really soaks up the kick of a heavy caliber.
So far the only real kicker I have had in a H&R is the 450 Marlin and that doesn't feel as bad as a 45-70 in and Encore to me.
Groo:
Where did you get barrel ?
Who did job?
How long?
How much?
How does it shoot?
How does it kick?
The barrel is a standard 28" H&R 38-55 Target Classic
Wayne York from Oregunsmithing LLC did the rebore and chamber work.
He is the person who did my 50-140 along with one for Tim (quickdtoo) and Richard (ATLaw) back last year.
He does great work.
Turn around has been about 2 months.
Cost was $355.00 including shipping.
Don't have it back yet so shooting will have to wait.
Same goes for the kick.
Don't really think it will be that bad.
I will post results once I get it up and running.
