Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots .45-70 H&R Made in NY

Thats nice wood. Sharp rifle!

I want one! Is that in the current lineup?

It's a standard Handi Rifle with a Topper Deluxe Classic walnut stock set.

Can a guy just call the company and order a walnut stock set like that to replace the original equipment?

Swampman - I like it!

Nice 45-70.

Probably but they don't always have them in stock.

I ran about 30 some rounds through my .45-70 today. The new Nikon Prostaff 2-7X32 tracked real well (as usual) and I used some Winchester 300 grainers to it to get her on paper. I don't like them, but they were very accurate. My goal was to slightly exceed the Remington 405 grain factory load and I was using Starline nickle cases, CCI LR Primers, Remington 405 bullets, and 34 grains of IMR-4198. The recoil felt exactly like the Winchester 300 grain factory load and the trajectory was close enough that I could shoot my handloads or the Winchester 300s without changing my scope settings. I don't have a crony but the recoil is a little more than the Remington 405 factory load and 3 shots went 3/4" at 50 yards and a little more than 1" 100 yards.

Good looking rifle. I've always found the H&R/NEF single shots, both rifles and shotguns, to be a very good value.

In case you missed it. This is my .45-70.

That is one good lookin NEF I have quite a few even my laminates dont look that good

Swampman 700-best looking H&R I've yet seen. H&R/NEF should advertise your upgrade more as it really turns a "plain jane" stock rifle into a "Cinderella" piece. Regards, Homesteader.

Holy Mackerel! That's the most beautiful H&R I've ever seen. I love these little guns. Can carry them all day, anywhere. I need a new .45-70 and that's the one I want. That wood makes it look like a thousand dollar rifle. Someone could produce replacement stocks like this and sell them like hotcakes through Cabela's or Brownell's.
