I had an opportunity presented to me in the form of an single shot h&r handi riflle in 30-06 and I took it. I got it for not much, laminated wood, open sights, missing the front sling swivel. Its nimble and carries nice and it is my first single shot rifle.
I shot it with the open sights, shot surprisingly well. So, managed to find an h&r one piece scope mount for it and mounted an old leupold compact 3x9 on it.
I have not loaded or run an '06 in a while but still had load recipes that worked well in couple different '06's in the past. I loaded some 165 gr. Speer Spitzer w/57 gr. Imr 4350 fed 210 and got just over inch groups @ 100 yards... Some things just always work.
The barrel is just 20 inches, velocity was 2704 fps for a 10 shot string, lowest velocity i have clocked with that load, also the shortest barrel I have fired it from also.
I guess some have a ejection issues, this one spit every one out so far...
New to single shots ho elts on the 'fire shoots an h&r single shot rifle??
