I think I'm curious on how that case works with that rifle and extra barrel?

Case is worthless with the scope. It has a pouch for the action and two pouches for the barrels, but they're too narrow for the scope.

I bought the Rocky Mountain Elk youth model, with a .308 and full choke .20 gauge. Used from a kid needing to pay traffic tickets. His dad worked at the courthouse and was making a point to his son. It embarrassed the dad. My grandsons out grew it. It now wears the original camo forend, with a full size tupperware stock. It shoots ok, the trigger not so good! It’s the always in the truck combo!

I had an H&R Topper Junior 20 Ga. when I was a kid. It kicked like a mule. If you gripped the foregrip very hard, the recoil would remove it into your hand. They are nearly indestructible though.

Nice, no telling how many were sold in the early 70’s. I had a H&R slug gun that loved the old Brenneke’s.

I have the same electroless nickel finish combo only in .22 Hornet with the 20 gauge barrel, but the case that it came with is black and made out of a nylon type fabric. I bought it on a whim and since then have accumulated a bunch of H and R s in various calibers and configurations. Once I started collecting them it became almost addictive. I thought I had a screw loose till I saw what some of the guys on Greybeard Outdoors have.

Mine is the blued version that I bought as my first new gun at the age of 12. Dad wanted me to pick a bolt action .20ga, but I wanted that .30.30 barrel so I could deer hunt with it. I believe it cost me about $50 from Gibson's dept store, saved all year and my parents paid the extra for my Christmas that year. Still have it.

SCGunNut: What a great looking and "handy" rig!
Good for you.
I have a heavy barrel H&R Handy Rifle in caliber 204 Ruger that shoots just fine and the trigger is quite crisp - I drag it along on trips afield and use it a lot, with few worries.
I also have a pair of N.E.F. single shot heavy barrel "Handy Rifles" (I guess N.E.F. and H&R single shot Rifles are made at the same plant) in calibers 17 Mach2 and 17 HMR. GREAT little Rifles these and also capable of very pleasing accuracy.
I do NOT look down upon "humble" (less expensive) firearms as I came from dirt poor beginnings and the first 20 years of my life were filled with fun times and Hunts using "humble" Rifles and shotguns.
I hope you enjoy your rig as much as I do mine.
Hold into the wind
VarmintGuy
P.S.: My 3 single shots are all "blued" models I would love to have a "stainless" H&R Handy Gun in any rimfire or centerfire caliber. They are not made anywhere anymore. Both those companies are long since defunct, the factories were the same as the business' were sold HR to NEF to HR1871 to Marlin to Remington via acquisition to Savage via bankruptcy Court. Who added a safety 🤪🤣 and only offers SG versions

"I have a bunch of Hornady 130gr spitzers that might be interesting to try. Or, if I actually load for it, I may go the opposite route and load some Barnes 190gr FP thumpers"
I have a couple of Savage 219s and I'm thinking about the exact same load ups. Well, actually the Hornady equivalent bullets.
I'm pretty sure that I saw this rifle and was very, very tempted. I like the stainless and dark wood look.
I'm glad that it went to to good home!

Fyi
If you put a fairly fat O-ring around the stud that the friend skrew goes in it help the accuracy on some of the handi rifles. I also have 3 of them and 1 410 and 112 gauge.

Have that same set minus the outstanding nickel finish.
Been doing some chin scratching over opening to a .30-30 AI or re-boring to .375 Win. Not sure if the SB1 receiver is AI-safe, pressure-wise.

Just caught this thread. Nice to see someone else suffers the same kind of nostalgia infection that drives me to want that single-shot Mossberg bolt-action .410 I lusted over (but never received) when I was about 12 years old.

I have the same combo gun, only mine is the blued version. I bought it from a LGS, which is long gone, in 1984. My dad had been looking for a deer rifle for me when we found it. We split the price, which was the princely sum of $119. The box and paraphernalia are still at dads house. As a kid, I saved up for it doing odd jobs around where we lived. I have killed a half dozen deer, one bear, and a pile of squirrels with it over the years. It is a fun gun to hunt with and hand load for. You won’t regret your purchase.
