My 20 gauge USHcame with the weaver style base on it . My uderstanding is that the 20 gauges have 12 gauge barrels and the 12 gauge have 10 gauge barrels...drilled for their gauge. So yes they are a heavy barrel. Now this is on the Ultra Slug Hunter models.
ORIGINAL: Planter
What sort of scope base system does the H&R use?? Is it drilled and tapped for a rail? Thats one of the drawback with the 870, 1100 or Mossberg. You need to buy a cantilever barrel if your gonna put glass on it. I just never had real good luck with the side saddle scope bracket.
Another question... Does the H&R have a heavy slug barrel or pretty much a regular shotgun wall? It sure can't weigh anymore than my 1187 SP. That things a tank!!
Thinking on an H&R myself. What the bottom line?$$$$
