i finaly got my mom to let me get another gun for yotes. i told her how much i would save buyin 223 shells compared to buyin shells for my 3006. but i was wondering how they hold up and what they cost and if u can order them over the net from somewere. for some reason i remember someone ordering one over the internet. but as i remember they are a cheaper gun but are reliable. thnks

I had one in a 45/70 and thought it was a good gun, I used it for driving bears in thick swamps .. You should be able to find one on gunbroker.com ..Bill

Walmart sells them for about 200 dollars. The NEF 223 in quite a few tests will shoot right along with the best bolt guns. I have one with the synthetic stock. It will group half inch or less with 40 grain Nosler ballistic tips, the ones loaded by Winchester in the big boxes. They are cheap shells and the NEF seems to like the lighter bullets. This from reading many reviews on the H&R talk site. Mine shoots great. I have three of them. The 223. 44 Mag and 280 Rem.

I have one in 243 Win and I like it alot. Bought a 45-70 barrel for it and I like it even better.

I also have a bull .243 , and a 45-70 and love them both. very accurate

If you're asking about ordering the H&R over the internet, forget it, it's not worth the trouble in my opinion, go to a shop and special order one, heck, go to walmart, they've probably got one in stock, or at least they can order one cheaper than anyone else can.

They're incredibly accurate, and built like true workhorses, I've loved everyone I've ever had, but I'm greedy, if there are two coyotes, I want both, so I want more than a single shot...but a glassed H&R/NEF .223 is a great coyote rig.

I have the bull .223 Ultra rifle. It shoots MOA and I have shot empty shotgun shells at 125yards. this is my only expereince so far. Plan to ad a couple of barrels to it in the future. This is a great feature of the rifle. Down the road, you can add a number of barrels for minimal $$$
