45-70 handi "limited edition"

[creosote]

  I took delivery of a rifle I bought from a fellow out of state today.
 First good look I have gotten of it.
    It has a medallion in the right cheek of the stock "h&r 1871 " limited edition.
 Has a nice thick factory recoil pad, and a nicely blued receiver.
  NN prefix so It is 1999 production , I am well pleased with it and the finnish overall is so much nicer than the nef shotgun I bought new a few weeks ago.
   I take it there is nothing special about the limited edition other than the medallion?
 I am looking forward to many years of shooting and tinkering with these nifty little rifles and shot guns.
            Best regards, Creosote

Welcome aboard!! Congrats on the new rifle, the limited edition just has the nicer laminated stock w/inlet than the standard Handi, that's about it. The only difference tween it and the Ultras is the LE doesn't have checkering. Since it's a late frame, you can get any of the high pressure barrels fitted to it, so now's a good time to start, maybe a free trigger job while it's there, turn around for barrel fitting has been just 3-4 weeks lately.

 Hello Creosote Welcome To the forums, Evertbody needs and should have
 a 45-70. I see that you are already starting to be Handi-holic.
 Good luck  Marv.
