Dear H&R.

Please research modern manufacturing practices, namely, interchangable parts. And put iron sights on everything with a factory supplied see through scope mount. You'll blow out the competition. See how simple that is?

Unfortunately only distributors can place special orders, the minimum quantity for special orders is either 250 or 500 units depending on complexity. The more H&R has to invest in tooling, the more units a distributor has to commit to.

I think H & R is doing it right!

It could always be better, but then what ever they add will have a price and that is what the number one draw is for the Handi Rifle.

It's still the best bang out there for the buck, and I see Rossi has added a lot of new variations, but have they have they moved that far ahead of H & R if at all?

What about trying to get a group of orders together for a specific older caliber that is in low production? Try it by posting across multiple boards to get enough people. We could have a central point (Like a Facebook page) to keep track. I'd like it if the first caliber we aimed for was 25-20, but a 25-35 would be nice to have too.

quickdtoo · « **Reply #309 on:** March 07, 2011, 03:44:20 PM »

That's been tried more than once, first of all, everyone must come to agreement on the chambering, but even that's never happened. A minimum of 250 rifles, not just barrels, must be ordered by a distributor for them to even consider it, and that would be for a common bore that they have tooling for, 500 would be the minimum for something not so common, the last is the 300 AAC which appears to have failed so far. $:-\$

Ah -- so mabe we should be trying to get a distributor

But I still afraid I'm just dreaming... Dan

there are a couple of 45ACP Handis floating around that members had built. I am thinking about adding another to the list.

roostershooter · « **Reply #320 on:** March 10, 2011, 02:19:22 PM »

More pistol calibers. 10mm, 40s&w, 45ACP. 44-40 too if it has not already been done.

DakotaElkSlayer · « **Reply #321 on:** March 11, 2011, 10:31:18 AM »

Since the ammo is again in production, I would love to play around with a 5mm Remington Magnum barrel for the Sportsters. Reads like it would be a great round for calling in the little dogs that live around here.

cnctech · « **Reply #322 on:** March 11, 2011, 02:56:55 PM »

Re-introduce stainless guns and add additional calibers available in S/S, some with iron sight options. It's my understanding that 416 S/S is easier to machine than moly and not expensive. Curious why they ceased production when stainless is such a popular option...

zackyholdem · « **Reply #323 on:** March 12, 2011, 04:36:37 AM »

i just want them to keep doing what they are doing, dont cut anything... i dont care if they dont add anything i just hope they dont take anything away

all that being said i'm a sucker for pistol calibers, .45acp and 9mm would be on the top of my list

jon f · « **Reply #324 on:** March 16, 2011, 12:56:58 AM »

I'd buy a 25/35, for that matter I would'nt mind a 32/40...or a 30/30 Bc with a 24 inch barrel and full buckhorn rear sight. Now who is dreaming...

kevinsmith5 · « **Reply #326 on:** June 26, 2011, 04:40:01 PM »

Would it be any easier to get them to do a special run of accessory barrels in 25-35 than finished rifles?

quickdtoo · « **Reply #327 on:** June 26, 2011, 04:43:58 PM »

Good luck getting enough people interested in it, write em a letter and see what they say.

My main wish is for shorter hammers that are drilled and tapped for a universal hammer spur, similar to how CVA does it on their Apex rifles.

Brian56 are you reading these?

Thanks, Dinny

And the Win 94 as well as the CVA Optima Elite, probably all the modern CVAs!
