NEF Survivor input

[Rick R]

I'm looking for an inexpensive .308 to use as a foul weather/loaner deer rifle to compliment the two rifles I already own. Does anyone have any input on the NEF Survivor? Wish there was a option other than the varmint weight barrel but apparently not on .308 flavor.

TIA

A friend of a friend has one in .17 HMR. From what I hear they are great rifles in any caliber.

i've owned several h&r's all nice rifles for the money. but, i found the survivor stock doesn't do as good a job with recoil as the standard stock. saddlebum

one of the best buy's out there. Plus you can get other bbl's fit to the same frame from the factory.

No personal experience, but I've been told that the Survivor stock is rock hard.

Get a recoil pad. Otherwise, good rifle.


Knew a guy who had one (standard stock) in .243 that with a minor trigger job and a Walmart scope shot MOA at 100 yards.
