They are reliable that's about the only good thing. Now for the bad, made in China, heaviest 20 ga I've ever held, its a clone of an 870 that is being sold by Remington's parent company. I could go on about the bad but I'll leave it at that.

I'll second the comment on the weight

Mine patterns great .. Heavy but I don't care .. It's super reliable and for the money it's doesn't matter at that price anyway lol.. And undertaker choke and it will roll up turkeys all day long for an under 250 dollar setup

They are solid guns just to heavy in 12 and 20 ga as turkey guns for what they are IMO. I just hate the fact they stopped making the single shots,which are classics, but are still importing these.

The NEF/H&R pump is a great gun, cheap for how reliable it is, nothing wrong with it being made in China its a bit heavy but only because its all steel, parts are compatible with Remington 870 and chokes are interchangeable with Win/Mossberg accu chokes.

It was just as cheap to buy a bargain repeater as it was to buy a single shot. People realized it and the singles lost favor. Cheap imports killed the single shot. It's a shame as I liked them as well.

Freedom Group(Remington) bought out H&R and raised the prices of the single shots like 75%. Now they have stopped production and destroyed all the machinery associated with H&R.They killed the H&R single shot. But they still import 870 clones @ 2/3 the price of an 870.I just can't wrap my mind around that "business decision". Just another " sign of the times" i guess.But the good news is there are plenty of new H&Rs still in the " pipeline". And there's just so many used ones of them out there that they can still be found pretty easily for a bargain.

I agree i would just save up a little more money and get the Remington 870...down the road the 870 will bring most of it's money back...I guess it has a lot to do with how you spend your money...lol

The Freedom Group buyout was a huge disservice to Big Green, Marlin and H&R/NEF. Quality went south in a hurry on all of the lines. Doesn't appear to be getting any better. It's a shame really.

Got this for my kids.  For folks on a budget, its a great deal and a great gun. Heavy yes but the quality is there.  Don't let anyone tell you different.  I had the 12 ga for myself and bought this one for my kids. Added the Truglo scope, HS Undertaker choke and shoot federal heavy weight 7s.  These patterns were with 6s.  I only have like 3 7s left and accidentally bought 6s last time I bought some.  The 7s will no doubt do better but the 6s weren't half bad.  May try to polish the barrel myself next year to see if it helps but this will do just fine for now.


This is 20yds.  I moved the scope 1 click left

This is 30.  Nothing spectacular but it'll do. Especially with the smaller shot and a slight scope adjustment to the left.
