BEST SINGLE SHOT
Whats the best single shot ? I REALLY like the look of the break action H&R series. But also like the TC

RE: BEST SINGLE SHOT
I assume you're talking about a rifle. It's tough for a break-open actionto be as accurate as a drop lever or other solid action. That hinge introduces the opportunity for movement. A Ruger #1 would be a better bet for accuracy.

Personally for the money I would say that the H&Rs and the NEF products are just as good as a TC. I do not believe they offer them in the caliber assortment that TC does but the ones that I have seen are plenty of gun for hunting. Rossi is right there with these too.

eightwgt - I had a H&R Handi Rifle in .223 and it was very accurate. But with the wood stock, it was very butt heavy. And it was pretty ugly too. But boy could it shoot.
Now for sheer elegance, the Ruger #1 if a pretty, well built and accurate rifle. But you will pay for all that. I had and Encore when they first came out and just could not get it to shoot worth a darn. |
RE: BEST SINGLE SHOT
There area lot of good single shots out there. I have some of the H&R's, and TC's. IMO the H&R is definitely not a TC. The TC isfar superior in quality, and accuracy over the H&R's. NO doubt about that. The TC's cost more, but are well worth it.
The Ruger #1 is a great rifle, however it is slightly lacking the classic lines. The true classic is the Winchester 1885 or the Sharp's rifle. Now those are the classics that are what you need to look at. Tom. |

Dakota Model 10. Good luck.

Dakota 10 (+1 Handloader 1) or the Miller Low Boy (now a Dakota company).

RE: BEST SINGLE SHOT
I had a break open single shot and sold it when I purchased my first Ruger No.1. I now have several plus a Browning 1885.
For me the falling block action shoots much better than Hinged action. |
RE: BEST SINGLE SHOT
I REALLY prefer the #1's

RUGER NO 1's one of the most accurate guns for the money you'll ever buy. Only one thing is they tend to have a slower twist rate in most calibers so you should be choosing medium to lighter bullets for optimum accuracy.
Personally I didn't like the TC's feel the rifle shot well enough just didn't feel right in the hands. The Winchester 1885 is another great accuracy rifle. I have one in a 270 win it's just to pretty to be carrying around horse back. All around meat gun ruger no.1. I use them in hunting and all my competition shooting. Superb off hand shooting gun for balance one of the best. |
