swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo
You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

It seems like Ive always had a h&r withing reach. They shoot well enough and are very reliable. But, if your going to shoot it much go ahead and find a disconect (if thats the right word) they break sometimes.
Got a few the hvy. Bbl. .223 has fired at least 2000 rnds. Factory ammo, others few hundred each. 45-70 2-3 hundred with my hand loads. Never had a problem with any of them. Hvy. Bbl. Tapered Bbl. both shot 1 in. 3 shot groups @ 100 yards. 45-70 2 in. @ 100 yards. 243 1 in. @ 200 yards. W/ factory ammo. 20 years ago when I still had eyes. All with cheap 3x9 Burris scopes from K-Mart. Weaver Rings.

Don't know if it counts as a Handy Rifle but along the exact same lines their is an SB-1 up there also, and again never had a lick of trouble. Corse you would have to be a masochist to shot that more than 5 rounds at a sitting. I probably only shot it 5 rounds in 2-3 yrs. after site in.

I found mine at a pawn shop also. Still in the original box. I figured when I got it the factory installed scope would be the first upgrade, but it shoots great with it and still wears it. At the bench, after 20 to 25 rounds the barrel seemed quite hot. That was shooting a variety of factory ammo types. Now I limit it to 10 rounds, let it cool while shooting something else.

All with cheap 3x9 Burris scopes from K-Mart. Weaver Rings. My daughters in 357 magshoots nickels at 100. But it still broke durring deer season a few years ago. But no worries its under warranty just send it in and we should get it back to you by january. Needless to say i paid a local smith to fix it. My cousin had a couple on 20g with rifled barrels. Very accurate but both broke in the same spot as mine. The pin that conects the transfer bar breaks. I know of 2 others that had the same problem. They sure do shoot well but thats is a weak point.

on the way out of the show I think no less than 3 people commented on how difficult the MKII was to take down for cleaning , as long as people want to keep up that lie I will keep buying them for 225
They break down for cleaning easy. It is the reassembly that has a minor trick that if you don't know it , makes it difficult. So what's the trick or is that a secret?

I have nothing clever to put here.
