Well, after looking at an H&R model 48 for $79 , a model 58 for $99, and an auction for a nice model 158 for $50 + $20 shpg + $25 trasfer fee ($95 total), all in 16ga, ... .....
...I went to WalMart and ordered a new NEF SB1-016 for $88.88 + tax ($94.27)
I like the LOP of the new ones anyway, the older H&R's all seem to have a shorter stock, PLUS, should the need arise, I can get parts!!
While I was waiting to order mine, there was a customer buying his first ( you and I all KNOW that it wil be his FIRST NEF/H&R!
) Pardner 12ga . We got to talking about how he was making a great choice, he had a friend who had one and was hunting successfully with it ........I told him to be sure he cleaned the gun well before shooting to insure that his shells would eject......and I gave him the graybeardoutdoors.com web address...and spent a moment telling him about the forum.......How much fun it is , never mind helpful......we both had a good time talking.....maybe he will log on here... :lol:
