Saw an ad in the local paper for a nearly new New England Firearms single shot .243 Handi Rifle for sale. Synthetic stock and blue.

They are asking $250 for it with a crappy 3-9x 40mm BSA scope.

I've never heard of a New England Firearms brand. Is this a good gun or not?

I'm been thinking about a smaller varmint type gun.

Thanks, Nathan
