NEF Single Shot 12 Gauge Question?

[240SX]

I've found a NEW NEF single shot 12 gauge for $85. Is this a fair price? Thanks for any help. -240SX

Around here they go for about $115 so I'd say that is a good price.

Great deal, but be forewarned - that gun is a ferocious kicker unless you stick with lighter loads.

I had one years ago and developed a flinch that was very tough to eliminate.

Mine was 104 at Wal-mart

Great price, but what Bud said is true. Use lighter loads unless you like pain.

I buy them at $119 NIB and I'm happy. $85 is a great deal!

Put a Limbsaver on it.

Mine kicked like a mule until I did that. The NEFs/ H&Rs are very light. Very solid and dependable shotguns otherwise. I'd buy it.

I use to think you guys that said this where wimps but now I think there is a Conspiracy going on the guy selling you shells decides you are over 40 and gives you the hard kicking shells .LOL untill you get into the 3" slugs and buckshot they don't bother me . H&R made a (one year only) a synthetic stocked 24" barreled 3 1/2" turkey gun weighed 5.25 lbs a friend had one I fired it ONCE with a 3.5 shell decided I don't want a turkey that bad compared to it a 10 is a pussycat

Wow. I'm glad to see I'm not just weak. I fire my milsurp rifles with no flinch, including the Soviet M44s; however, my little single shot H&R/NEF .410 leaves me with a worse sore shoulder than any of my rifles ever does.

Mine is a Tamer with a synthetic stock, so it's pretty light. It's also the thumbhole style stock with shell storage, so the length of pull is a bit short for my long arms. I may replace the stock with a regular-style synthetic stock. That means giving up the in-stock shell storage, but it's worth it if I can shoulder the weapon better and hopefully reduce the punishment I'm getting from recoil. Other than the fact that it kicks a bit, I've never had a problem with my H&R single shot. Once a shell didn't eject until I rammed it out with a dowel, but I think that was the ammo, not the shotgun. It has never done that to me again, and I've fired several hundred shells since that one.

Great Gun!! I bought mine years ago at a Kmart for $79. I've shot clay, small game and a deer with the thing. Easy to carry, ultra reliable, and accurate. It does kick but common sense practices will minimize the effect.

$85 is a very good price for one.
