Title: anyone shoot an H&R 12 guage single shot
Post by: KYHeadhunter02 on April 10, 2016, 05:59:16 PM
Anyone use one. Mine will shoot 3 inch shells and kicks like a mule. I'm thinking about using it when I have to walk a lot. Anyone know how it patterns?

Wow, you must be immune to pain! You will have to shoot it to be sure, I have a NEF 20ga. that will not pattern anything very well, it has a 22" barrel. But I have another one with a longer barrel that is like night and day!

  Remove buttplate/ recoil pad and put some weight in there. If it's synthetic it'll hold a ton of shot. Throws off any balance, but, it does help with the recoil.

  Good hunting--woodsrunner

My topper deluxe  has a factory turkey choke and shoots the 3in triple beard well. Only patterned it at 33yds but was nice and even and point was on. It packs a punch and I haven't maned up to shoot a 3.5in through it. I am planning on shooting it again this week if I can and weather holds out. I'll try for pictures.

Heh heh...try shooting the 10 ga model if you really want a whallop...actually I don't think recoil is bad in mine....its muzzle jump that is frustrating to me!

I guess lucky for me mine seems to come straight back and not rear so much upwards.

I have a 20ga pump and it patterns better than any of my 12ga guns. just a good solid gun.
