I bought my daughter a nef 20ga youth model for Christmas and can't find it in the 2003 or 2004 catalog. I got it at walmart it has a 13LOP a 22" modified barrel, no recoil pad, just a buttplate and it has a laminated stock and forearm instead of the birch stock. I'm really puzzled that it's not in the catalog or on the website.

That's a mystey? post a pic if you can. I was going to say NTWF model but they had a medalion and recoil pad. Is it green or brown laminate ?Straight or pistol grip stock?

Sure its not an SB1-250?

BUGEYE,

If you have the box it will have a model # on the end something like (SB1-250), that will help us figure out what it is.

Does it have a NEF Medallion in the stock with Limited Edition on it? H&R/NEF make a few guns every year that are not in the catalog. I have a NEF 20ga Ultra Slug Hunter LE that is not listed in any catalog. It has the laminated stock w/medallion but with no checkering like the H&R on the stock and forearm. We also have the NWTF Topper Jr. Classic in 20ga with the laminated stock w/NWTF Medallion and recoil pad.

Some of the buyers belong to a special buyers group and make group purchases every year that are exclusive to that group. Thats why you see these seemingly one of a kind guns out there that are Limited Editions for these buyers groups. The group then gets big discounts from H&R/NEF for buying as a group instead of being one little Mom & Pop operation.

The place I buy my H&R/NEF's from belongs to a buyers group and have better prices than most of the BIG National Chain Stores.

Well, I went up in the attic and looked at the box and it doesn't say 250, it says SB1-025. the laminate is a nice light brown color.
I guess it must be some kind of walmart special run or something.

Is the laminate stock the same color as the Ultr rifles. If so they call it cinnamon.

I bought my wife one a couple of years ago. Her's too had no recoil pad, but it was a youth stock. I called NEF and the man told me they made some odd ones that went to WalMart only that had youth stocks and no recoil pads.

I guess it could be called cinnamon. it's really a good looking stock. I may buy her another one with a recoil pad and keep this one for myself. the 13"LOP is perfect when I'm wearing my insulated coveralls.

I picked up a 243 youth for my son last Christmas and was baffled as well. It has a beautiful cinnamon laminate stock with a recoil pad and a bull barrel. I think my wife threw out the box so I don't know what model it is. I love the gun though. It is beautiful.
