Did you ever find your H&R?
no. my son might have it squirreled away somewhere.
I once misplaced a double pistol case with 2 Ruger MKII's in it, both wearing red dots. I eventually found it safe and sound, right where I left it. The thing that bothered me the most was how long it was before I noticed that the weren't where I thought they were. It was a long period that it would be more convenient to measure it in years instead of months.
