Whatcha got there?

Post by Yornoc3 » Fri Mar 08, 2019 10:56 am

This is a good place for a "whatcha got there?" (as in when you go to shoot at the Sportsman's club) thread. I have always had sort of a thing for single shots, probably since my first real gun was a H&R topper .410, followed by a H&R 30-30 with an interchangeable 20 ga. barrel. They're no longer around, and I've been replacing them ever since ;) .

So my list of single shots not made by Henry reads as follows:
New model Savage favorite .22.
Mossberg SSI One .270
Mossberg SSI One 12 ga. Turkey gun. I refer to it as a musket, for sure it's not truly a shotgun.
Ruger #1-A 7mm Mauser
CZ Brno Effect .308

And of course there's the Henry 45-70, Henry .243, and Henry 30-30. I think I see a trend developing :) .

I bought a new Ruger #1B in 7mm RemMag about 1977. I took my first elk with it. Its now on its 3rd barrel.

My one and only SS rifle is an NEF Handi-Rifle in .223.
I highly recommend to anyone interested in them to keep an eye out for one in a ‘key’ caliber (.357, .44 30-30, and some select .22 centerfires) and don’t hesitate if the price is right. A bonus would be for the wood stocked models with the laminated ones being the most deseriable but I’d probably even buy if it were a composite stock (I am sure a wood replacement can be found)
Had I known Remington was going to drop the NEF line I would have bought a rack full of them previously!

For rifles, in my time have had Contenders, Encores, Low Wall, High Walls, Ruger No. 1 and 3s, a wide variety of vintage Winchester, Remington, Mossberg, Savage/Stevens single shot rimfires, even an old Ithaca Model 49 22 LR (neat little gun).

Single shot shotguns of by Savage/Stevens, Sears, and, my favorites, some very nice Winchester 37s.

Last but not least, most of our CZ rifles wear single shot adapters.

I always meant to buy a Handi rifle or two, but never got around to it. Big mistake. Going to try not to make the same mistake with the Henry single shots.
