Just bought my first H&R Centerfire. Walked into a local gunshop and spotted a 2008 H&R Ultra rifle in .308 with a muzzlebrake added (nice job, too). There was slight wear on the finish on the stock, but I will refinish that when the weather warms. The metal was in great shape. They were asking $175 and I couldn't pass it up. Put a Nikon Buckmasters scope on it that I had laying around and can wait to shoot it.
I cleaned off the latch and degreased, noticed the scope base was loose (hoping this is why the previous owner sold it) and tightened it up. Gave it a good cleaning and everything is locking up tight and looking good. Is there anything else to look at before I shoot it?
Also, is there a prefit replacement simms recoil pad for the Ultra rifle? I have a issue with my eyes that, while not serious yet, makes me want to shoot the remington managed recoil round, and with the muzzlebrake and simms pad I should hardly feel it.
