I took my new H&R 444 out to the range this week end. I installed a Thompson Center 4X scope on it. Had some difficulty getting it on paper (took about 15 shots.........my fault) and only shot 3 or 4 more rounds. The good news is that the last 3 shots were a 2" group (from sandbags) and the Limb Saver slip on pad works very well. I'm not sure what the trigger pull is set at but it is light, clean and crisp. I was shooting the Hornady Leverevolution 265 grain bullets. Sorry, I don't have a pic of the target.
Amazing how many guys at the range came over and asked me what I was shooting.
I'm very pleased with this gun on it's first outing. Recoil is a little stout (I normally shoot a 243 Win) but very manageable. To me it kicks more like a 12 gauge shotgun with a heavy load than a rifle. I think with a little work and possibly some hand loads that this will be a real shooter for me!
Thanks,,,,
