Wandered into a gun store here in WV and just about fell over when I saw they had a 50/243 combo on the shelf. Bought it instantly. Have not regretted a minute of it. Had to send the gun back to H&R for light striking the primer on the mloader barrel but they took care of me and had the gun fixed within two weeks. Now it shoots fantastic and smacks the daylights out of the primers! Heck of a pair of guns for $300.00
