Doug, the H&R rifles are a fancier version of the NEF handi rifle. A little better blueing, and laminated stocks. On average, the H&Rs will run $50-$75 higher than the handis. I own four NEFs, a .30-30, .50 cal. huntsman, a 20 ga. tracker II slug gun, and a 20 ga. topper shotgun. They are all great guns, and a good value for the money. If you want more info on them, type H&R talk into your search engine, and check out the forum. There is a wealth of info there about these guns, and at the top is an online catalog which shows all of their firearm models. FYI NEF/H&R is now owned by Marlin firearms.
