Absolutely! I have the NEF version in 20, which I think they're about the same, and I've heard that they all shoot lights out with Lightfields. 100 yards with the 20 is like shooting ducks on the pond.
They are no where near the "same". NEF = thin-wall, rifled barrel with rifled sights. Still a good gun.
H&R USH = rifled HEAVY, thick-wallbull barrel, no sights, just scope rail.
Grab yourself a scoped in H&R USH in 12 gauge and throw 5 Brenekke 3-inch Gold Mags at a paper plate 100 yards out. See how many are on the plate and how your shoulder feels.
Now do it with an NEF. How many are on the plate and how does your shoulder feel NOW?
