New Shotgun
Picked up a H&R 12 Ga Topper Deluxe Classic w/28" Vent Rib Blue Barrel, 3 choke tubes, & a checkered walnut stock this morning at the gun show for $129.95.

Re: New Shotgun
That is one good looking H&R. I think that you made a great buy on that one.

Re: New Shotgun
That's a real nice lookin' shotgun..
H&R guns are hard to find over here.
I've just bought a Cooey (pre Winchester).410 and I'm going to have a look at a 12GA Cooey next week.

Re: New Shotgun
That will be a nice little gun!
The stock also looks pretty darn good and at only $129 with what that gun offers?
Just something about that simple easy handling of a nice single while walking through the woods!
Their just cool. I like the fact even with a 28" barrel the guns total length is only that of a 22" barreled pump gun
And with the wide choice of ammo,that gun packs plenty!
That gun is a bargain.---Good job!

Re: New Shotgun
You've probably been to the H&R website, but just the barrel with 3 choke tubes would run you $166 (plus shipping). You got an excellent deal.
Re: New Shotgun
Heck, these days the walnut's probably worth $129! Great deal.Chas. wrote:You've probably been to the H&R website, but just the barrel with 3 choke tubes would run you $166 (plus shipping). You got an excellent deal.

Re: New Shotgun
NICE! You can't beat that with a stick!

Re: New Shotgun
The stock seems as though it fits more like the old H&Rs used to. The contrast between the blued barrel and the plated (nickel?) receiver looks good too; but the vent rib really sets it off. I would like to have that one myself.
Re: New Shotgun
thats a great deal. I have one in 20 gauge, does not look that good and does not have the choketubes. Nice picture.

Re: New Shotgun
Thats nice, I just passed on a older 410 with the black stocks and silver finnish for $75. It was really heavy but am hoping its there when i get backto the Gander Mtn in Wasau. Dont know why, but the vent rib always looks "right" on the H&R's
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres
250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!

Re: New Shotgun
Spoke with H&R and they said they can put a .357 or .44 Magnum barrel on it if I send it in.
