New Website In The Works For H+R/NEF?
« on: February 16, 2004, 12:29:54 PM »
I was thinking that as our dealine approaches to gather old information off the old site, they will probably update or change that site a bit. Hopefully they post some helpful information for prospective buyers. You know, the kind of information they used to be able to get from the forum.

They probably had to amke room for the big MADE IN CHINA sign that will go next to the Made in USA. Maybe they will dedicatethe new found webspace to communist propaganda. My guess is that they will do nothing. What I'd really like to see is a link to customer service. It would be so easy for them to do that and not that pricey.It would be well worth the investment.It's not convenient for me to call them during the day and it's a toll call. What kind of company doesn't have an 800 number.I work for a small business and my wife has a home based photography business and we both have 800 numbers.

I'd much rather be remembered for being a great shot than having the most expensive gun

Isn't it amazing how those that profited by our purchases could treat us so poorly, and give us the least amount of consideration, while we have been treated like gold here. That H+R/NEF now made in China sign should be big enough for all to see. It speaks volumes as to the future of the company. Hang on to those American made guns, there going to be as rare as Browning made in Belgium.

We all have a right to blow off some steam. I will still buy their AMERICAN made products. I do not blame H&R personally for closeing the site. I figure their lawyers forced them into it. Plus maybe it was really expensive to run. Just ask Graybeard he can tell you it is not cheap. That is why he has sponsors. Maybe H&R should have tried letting scope manufatures advertise on their sight. Would have helped with expenses. Mostly though it was the legality of it. You know what they say: What do call a 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean.----A good start.

Made in China

What's this Made in China stuff in this post?  I've knew that H&R closed down the forum at the marlin site but I haven't heard anything about Handi's being Made in China.  Closing the forum was a little disturbing to me but all-in-all I can understand H&R's point of view.  However, my impressions from the posts here about about handi's being made or parts being imported from China that more than disturbs me.  I just purchased a Handi 223 and if I'd heard about that I may have bought something else.

The new handi pump shotgun and 22 auto loader are both chinese imports with H&R/NEFs name on them. :evil:

Oh and the web site don't cost them squat cuase you can list that as advertising and it is a %100 write off really it saves them cash in the long run.

As for the rest of their products, as far as we know they are still made in the USA.   :-)

Come on guy's, do your homework.
The semi auto .22 they import is made in The Philipines by Squires Bingham.
