I'm gonna be buying a single shot 12 to send to William to have threaded for a choke and put a ff3 on it. I'm tired of lugging a heavy gun around. Which one of these guns would you pick. The rossi is 120 and the h&r is 170.

I started on a H&R .410 ......so I have a soft spot for H&R....that'd be my choice! :icon_thumright:
I have both, I have a 20ga rossi that I am planning on trying this season, i sent It to sumtoy to drill and tap it and thread it for chokes. i believe with the rossi you can order different barrels without sending the receiver back also. Hope this helps
I'm partial to H&R. I haven't owned a Rossi, but a couple of my friends have, and they said they're "OK", but they like H&R's better.
I too am partial to H&R. I own 4, one is my son's and another is my daughter's. With the H&R you could send it in to Remington for other barrels depending on the receiver for rifle or shotgun. You can buy synthetic stocks (monte carlo and straight) and a couple different forearms. If you choose the synthetic route, Limbsaver makes a recoil pad. You might find some better prices on Gunbroker. Search NEF, H&R and New England. Best of luck with your decision shooting a single is rewarding.
I like the h&r. They're very similar to the older New England single shot shotguns. I killed my first two turkeys with a New England 12 ga. They're very light and balanced.
most of us started out with an old H&R... .410 for me, that I still have.
i was all set to buy the h&r single shot a few weeks ago but went with a 20 ga pump.I still think i will pick up a H&R 10 ga or 12 ga to own.h&r is what i would purchase.

I would go with h&r, i had a rossi 12 and that sucker dang near separated my shoulder with turkey loads
Ive owned both and the H&R is a better quality gun. Hope you are ok with recoil, because a 12 in 3 1/2 chamber is going to rock your world!
I have an h&r 12 gauge 3" full choke that likes Winchester #4's pretty good. I killed my first turkey when I was 14 with it. But my 870 super mags with 3.5 inch loads won't hold a candle to it as far as recoil. It will make your eyes water and your shoulder blue. But I love to carry that old gun and I believe I may hunt with it this year. I just dread shooting paper with it, kicks like a bay mule.
H&r
Here's my H&R collection. Disregard the rifle, the rest are 12's and the bottom is a 20ga. I purchased receivers off Gunbroker, purchased stocks and forearms from the same or Ebay and had Remington install the vent rib barrels. Unfortunately, they no longer are offering that barrel. I agree at the range the recoil can be punishing, but in the woods when focused on a big tom you'd hardly notice it. The 20, I bought a complete youth gun and switched to synthetic and had it tapped and threaded.
H&R or NEF
no rossi
26 or 28 inch barrel and is there enough meat on the forarm to hold a sling stud on the h & r

H&R all the way! love mine. great to carry. sucks to shoot, but for just turkey hunting who cares.
H&R! Got two of them, a 12 and a 20gauge.
H&R, the safety on the Rossi seems to be in an awkward position.
Go USA! Buy American.
