What kind of info are you looking for?
I have the ultra lite NEF in .223. Very nice light rifle. I use it for coyote hunting.
Shoots 3 shots into an inch or better at 100 yards with the 45gr Winchester 40pack factory ammo.
No complaints no malfunctions, trigger was good enough out of the box.
Not bad for a $190 dollar rifle.

There is a new single shot out there,the Rossi line of single shots.They are well built and very accurate.Last spring I bought 1 in 223 rem. in the bull barrell modle thru a FFl freind of mine for 199.00 dollars it came with a 4-12x50mm scope from simmions and case,swivels and sling,rings and mounts.I also bought the plain jane 243 win for about 130.00.I do want to get the ultra 25-06 by NEF,I tried last spring but no one had one.As for accuratcy of the two I got 1/2in groups w/winchester hollow points 45grn. & .75 with remington corloks 55grn, and the 243 win was about an inch with open sights @ 100 yards.The are worth a look.BBJ

The single shot H&R is an accurate rifle. I had one but sold it [:' (] I have a browning that I like better. I didn' t really like the heavy trigger of it. It was the synthetic stock bull barrel model. I think it was the HAndi-Rifle...not positive though.

The H&R is a good Rifle for the money....Inexpensive, but well made.

the reason why i ask is that i have stumbled apon a NEF SB1 heavy barrel with a weaver base for $150.00.
seems cheap enough for plinking and yote hunting.
