BUGEYE,
If you have the box it will have a model # on the end something like (SB1-250), that will help us figure out what it is.
Does it have a NEF Medallion in the stock with Limited Edition on it? H&R/NEF make a few guns every year that are not in the catalog. I have a NEF 20ga Ultra Slug Hunter LE that is not listed in any catalog. It has the laminated stock w/medallion but with no checkering like the H&R on the stock and forearm. We also have the NWTF Topper Jr. Classic in 20ga with the laminated stock w/NWTF Medallion and recoil pad.
Some of the buyers belong to a special buyers group and make group purchases every year that are exclusive to that group. Thats why you see these seemingly one of a kind guns out there that are Limited Editions for these buyers groups. The group then gets big discounts from H&R/NEF for buying as a group instead of being one little Mom & Pop operation.
The place I buy my H&R/NEF's from belongs to a buyers group and have better prices than most of the BIG National Chain Stores.
