I decided to get a nef rifle i was wondering if any of you guys use them to hunt with? Im very happy with my .17 hmr Nef . What do you guys like about them? I like single shots alot thats why i want a NEF and im going to buy a new one in a couple days. So anyway lets see your NEFs ! Ill get rid of the 742 i figure !

Ditto what Millerhunter13 said, IMHO no better rifle for the money. I also love single shots. I have the H & R Ultra slughunter deluxe 12 gauge, and a H & R Ultra Varminthunter in .223 (converted to .22-250). Both are superb rifles. Buy one of these rifles, and for a few addtional dollars, you can purchase other caliber barrels.

I used to have a NEF handi rifle in 30-06 and loved wished i never sold it. Now i find myself really wanting another one bad. In fact i seriously believe i will be buying another this year, probably in .308 or 7mm/08. They are great little guns, easy to carry, come up good, shoot good. Its also a very affordable rifle and the extra barrels are very reasonably priced. Alot of my friends are going to single shots, mostly TC encores, which are amazing guns, but you pay big bucks for one and then every time you want another barrel you pay several hundred dollars again. For the same price you can have a handi rifle with 4-5 barrels. I will defitently have another one.

I've got one in .243. Great litte deer gun for short shots. Also have three shot guns and a muzzle loader by them. All great guns

I have several of them and they have been worth the money for sure. I have had many of them over the years all have shot pretty well although some need a litle tweaking with the forend.

I bought a used H+R 158 in 30-30 as a trainer for teaching my 3 boys the importance of making the first shot count.Countless deer and now handed down to my second boy who shot his first moose last fall with it.Trigger a little creepy but MOA any day every day off the bench with 32gr Win 748 /170gr Hornadys.Best $100 I ever spent.........................Harold

I have one in 444 Marlin.. I love it.. Kicks like a mule.. But since it is considered a Primative Weapon here in MS I get 2 more weeks of hunting with it..

Are you sure about that? I thought there were some restrictions to caliber

idunno · 09-13-2007, 03:52 AM

excuse me, correction I just looked and the only restriction is that it be at least .38 caliber
