Many of us were at the NEF forum on the "New England Firearms" site. But when they closed the site, we wondered around for a while then most settled here at Greybeard Outdoors. GB was very accomadating and gave us an entire section. Those of us that settled here went out and brought our friends from the old site. So many of us were already faithful to the Handi, and other guns made by H&R, NEF, H&R 1971, Then Marlin, and now Remington. My original Handi can hit a gallon milk jug at 700 yards all day long. The only thing I have done to the gun has been put an O-ring under the forearm, and shoot it. Scopes are my problem, I keep breaking them.
Kind of like my H&R Trapdoor Springfield replica too.
