Yup...So long as it goes BOOM when you pull the trigger.

For sure. H&r is a solid gun. Nothin fancy, but it works. $200 is a good deal on almost any functioning firearm. Just my $.02

Bought a Remington 700 .35 Whelen last year. Baddest bitch in the woods

Yep. Bad arse rifle. Just put a scope on it and prepare to slaughter some deer.

Sent more H&Rs back to the factory last year than everything else combined. So glad they got shut down.

I've had one since 2010 with no issues. I pulled the pallet wood stock and put a cinnamon laminate stock with a Leupold 3x9x40 on top. It's fairly accurate and the deer don't run far when it goes off. It's not a showpiece but it does the job. I have no issues with FTF that some have experienced with that rifle. I shoot 200 gr Core Lokts.

H&R is a very cheap low quality gun with sub par parts in the trigger housing mechanism. It will shoot for a while before something breaks, but will not stay consistent due to the poor quality of metal the barrels are forged from. Less than 100 yds is where I would be most comfortable after that is a crap shoot. Don't consistently let the wood stocks get wet or they will swell and need replacing. If possible get the plastic replacements but be careful with those as well I have personally seen 3 different guns that the plastic came apart from poor vulcanization of the pieces....basically buyers and users of H&R beware. 12 year old boy in West Monroe is now blind in his right eye and has an on going law suit over trigger and firing pin breaking and sending trigger shrapnel back into his eye.

Damn, might need to sell my 10 ga. Pardner, although it's probably 10 yrs old now.

They're perfectly suited for what 99.999% of people use them for.

It's a gun that retails for 250 bucks, it is what it is. At that price point it shoots straight and is a simple design that usually doesn't fail. There are a lot of minor issues stemming from lack of QC that can greatly improve how it shoots. What issues did they have specifically?
