Single Shot Shotguns.

H&R IS New England Arms. They changed the name a couple of times, haven't kept up with the details, but same gun, same manufacturer. Can't go wrong with one, I can tell ya that. I have a 10 gauge turkey gun that I actually use for goose hunting. VERY tight and strong gun and patterns very well.

I bought my daughter a 20 gauge H&R, was a mistake. Little toot was so light, it kicked too hard for her and she preferred my gas gun, a Winchester 1400 in 12 gauge, because it had much less felt recoil. The 12 is gonna be a test of our recoil tolerance.

The 10 weighs 9 lbs. You can get a similar 12 gauge rifled barrel slug gun, same as my 10, the heavy frame. The 10 has a heavier duty frame than all the other H&Rs. The gun would only be good for deer, though. You won't be able to put a smaller gauge barrel on that gun, either, as the frame differs in dimension from the smaller bores.



The Rossi is a good little gun. Friend of mine has a combo .410/.22LR, shoots very well.

I have a NEF single shot 20 gauge not a bad gun fun for clays but on occasion the shells will get stuck and need to be poked out mostly noticed this with winchester cheapo ammo. I think the Gun was only $115. I also have a Ithica M66 single shot 12 gauge I really like it with the lever to break the action and that was only $75 - used of course.

Used decent quality single shots are fairly common at pawn shops. I'm a sucker for a pawn shop. OLD single shots can be in good serviceable condition. But, hell, new ones are cheap enough. I like to hunt for treasures, though.
