Hello, I was wondering if H&R/NEF makes a single-shot stainless rifle in 30-06?
I've been Googling and cannot find. Links will be helpful thaks.
 
Not stainless, they are electroless nickle finish receivers.
They do make some barrels in stainless steel.
 
As pointed out, I don't see any complete stainless guns; there are nickel plate receivers and SOME stainless barrels (on backorder), but nothing in 30-06 as-is. :)
 
if they do make one in 30-06 it should kick like a mule. I had one in .22-250, even with good optics (and several of them) it shot all over the place also sometimes when you fired, the action would break open, I got rid of it.
 
Huh, I've seen several that worked fine. Mine is the .45-70 version. Kicks, but not horribly.

I'd love to see them make a 7.62x54 version..
 
H&R Handi's can be tempermental at first but they seem to tighten up after being shot a bit. Some are more finicky than others but generally they can be coaxed into good shooters. You might try Graybeard Outdoors. There's tons on info on H&Rs there.

I have 2 - a .204 Ruger & a .243. Both shot pretty good out of the box but have improved significantly with hand loads, different bullet weights, powders and seating depth adjustments.

Make no mistake. They're budget class rifles to be sure but they work just fine with some tinkering, which is 1/2 the fun. :)
 
I own half a dozen of them and one in 30-06. Mine is a replacement barrel with matching serial numbers (etched into catch block) and it will randomly pop open when fired. Factory says send it back and they will fix it but the thing is super accurate and I am afraid the "fix" will be a new barrel that is a poor shooter. I will try to get it to stay together. Note that my 223, 308, 243, 270, and 45-70 do not pop apart when fired. I may try that barrel on my other receivers and see if that works.:cool:
