Are these available as complete guns. I dont see it in the new catologue. By the time I send in for the barrel I am over 200 dollars. Wondering as what is the price I can get a whole gun for?

The Talos, 357, 44 & 45-70, were built for a distributor and became available from a number of different retailers. Budsgunshop.com, Kentucky Gun Co. and a bunch of others had them. I also saw a few of them offered on gunbroker. I haven't seem many of them listed as NIB recently.

Quick check of Bud's showed a 357 mag in stock, but not a Talo.

Didn't notice any 44 mag.

Look for the Talo Trappers by their model number, SB1-35T, SB1-44T and SB2-47T, I bought the last 45-70 from Bud's a couple months ago, they don't list the 357mag any more.

Ye I saw that one on Gunbroker and the one at buds but for 265 with a synthetic stock and them have to pay the 30 transfer I am going to pass. My real want for the Talo was the open sights and I even thought about getting the standard 22 but the extra 100 ft second in the long run wont make a difference and then I would have to have open sights installed. I also have an extra SB2 receiver that had a trigger job done to it so I will be sending in and paying the $200 for the talo barrel and put a straight wood stock on it and of course ream it to Maxium. My 5 year old is going to have a blast shooting the 38 out of it. Cant wait to get it back and I havent even sent it out yet.

Check with Davidson's ,I got my 44 talo there last summer. 26-t

quickdtoo · « **Reply #6 on:** February 01, 2012, 01:17:33 PM »

Davidson's hasn't listed any of the Talos for quite a while. $:-\$

As Tim said I checked and no go.

Dinny · « **Reply #8 on:** February 01, 2012, 03:48:47 PM »

You're sending in a SB2 receiver right? You would not get one with the purchase of a complete gun.

Just my 2 cents worth...

Thanks, Dinny

Deerhunter#1 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 02, 2012, 02:09:22 AM »

Dinny- yes it is a sb2 that Brian has previously done a trigger job to. Not that a sb1 hasen't been used when reamed to Maxi but I have the extra receiver and the extra strength of the sb2 is something I definately want.

Try hinterlandoutfitters.com. H&R Handi-Rifle 72370 still in stock (18 inch barrel, 357, wood stock.) Mine just arrived at transfer FFL dealer.

Just at cabelas in wheeling wv there was one in used rack for 200

Jason F · « **Reply #13 on:** February 10, 2012, 02:12:10 PM »

It was a 44

Jim/PA · « **Reply #14 on:** February 11, 2012, 01:50:46 PM »

Just picked up the .357 Talo Handi from the tfl dealer today. Nice trigger, stiff open-close (which should work itself out), the usual blah fit and finish characteristic of new-age American guns....and an obviously canted rear sight which screams "sloppy." Guess I'll shoot it a bit before I send it back to the factory ......

cab32 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 11, 2012, 03:09:37 PM »

Here is an uninformed question, but what does TALO mean. I see it used but can't figure out what it means.

Jim/PA · « **Reply #16 on:** February 11, 2012, 04:27:48 PM »

From the www.taloinc.com website: "Special Edition Firearms for Discriminating Collectors. TALO is a wholesale buying cooperative serving the independent sporting goods dealer since 1965." Apparently, they arrange "special editions" of guns with major firearms manufacturers. Would've been nice if the quality was a bit higher to go along with the "special edition" moniker. Other than that, I never heard of them until very recently and have no idea what TALO stands for, if anything....

I have an H&R Handi .44 Mag Talo. What a sweet shootin' little rifle. I could carry it all day!! It`s a shame they discontinued them.

quickdtoo · « **Reply #18 on:** February 13, 2012, 05:46:31 PM »

The Talos were special orders by Talo, they were only produced in limited numbers, they weren't a standard H&R offering that was discontinued.

slayer · « **Reply #19 on:** February 14, 2012, 03:20:55 AM »

Good point Tim. What I would really like to see is the 22 inch wood/blue .44 mag with sights brought back and preferably with the SB2 frame.

quickdtoo · « **Reply #20 on:** February 14, 2012, 04:41:44 AM »

That's a topic for the H&R Wish List in the FAQs.

Wishing you luck in finding one. They seem to have mostly come and gone, sadly. I recently got mine just before New Years, though, so there may still be some out there.

If you do find one, in whatever caliber, you might want to re-stock it.

I'm going to look into getting a much better rear sight. And reposition/move it back. The Williams that comes on it is horrible since it has non-repeatable adjustments. You just loosen a screw and slide it for chrissake.

But damn the idea is/was a really good one. Great plinking rifle that can double as a hunter if needed.

I prefer a scope myself, iron sights and old eyes aren't a good combination.

I'm actually tearing up and needing Kleenex to wipe my eyes on that one. A .45-70 scoped with a Loopy and the stock change and short barrel. Awesome!

slayer · « **Reply #24 on:** February 14, 2012, 05:53:04 AM »

I actually love wood stocks, so I will keep my eye out for an older .44 mag SB2 22 inch barreled wood stocked Hadi

quickdtoo · « **Reply #25 on:** February 14, 2012, 08:08:06 AM »

No need to do that, all H&R single shot stocks are interchangable, pallet wood Pardner shotgun stocks are listed in the FAQs all the time, swap em out yourself or trade em, myself I love the checkered syn stocks a lot more than any pallet wood.

Does H&R have these barrels on hand (or something .357 mag with open sights) if you send it in for barrel & fitting?
