Mike over at H&R is exploring bringing the Handi Rifle back…..with a few changes. Changeable barrels (to include threaded ones), short and long barrels, various caliber, pistol brace and stock options, and stripper receivers to build your own. It wont be the $100 rifle of years ago. He wants to keep it around or under $400.
Any interest?
Just googling this rifle ,
Is it a break-open single shot rifle?
ABSOLUTELY. This is probably one of the best things that could come out from H&R that a lot of people can actually afford. A handi-rifle in 300BLK with a threaded barrel would be a very big seller I imagine. Interchangeable barrels? Well maybe I’ll be stocking up on them all lol
Yes
I would definitely be interested. Especially if some of the caliber offerings were outside of the standard / hunting-focused calibers you find with brands like CVA or Henry. Things like .338 ARC, 10mm, 6.5 Grendel, 9mm, etc.
Not my cup of tea but I am sure there would be a lot of interest in it.
As a single shot rifle, it needs to come in under PSA’s lowest priced AR. If it’s at $400, it may be hard to get some people to justify a single shot over an AR.
Certainly interested; do you know if older barrels would be interchangeable with the new rifle?
I agree, but you also have ban states to consider. Might be a popular choice for people that don’t have a lot of other options.
No idea but probably not. Mike will have to potentially do a slight receiver modification to go this route
Thats part of thr thinking along with the H&R m1s. They can be sold to ban states.
Sounds interesting
I might be interested as I enjoy my H&R single shot 12ga with some sub-caliber pistol rifled inserts. 9mm & 22lr with only a front bead sight are minute of squirrel accurate to ~30 yards.
It would be nice to stretch that out with a full 16-20” rifle chambered barrel & sights/optic.
Im going to get this info over to Mike as he ran a poll on arfcom also.
Yes! Would the barrels and parts be backwards compatible?
Not sure, probably not if I had to guess based on the changes Mike decides on.
I’d love to have one of these in 350 or 450 legend. Maybe 45-70.
Absolutely. Been hoping for this since PSA picked up the H&R brand. Love these guns and would purchase several myself. Be nice to see them in some of the newer calibers (.350 Legend, .450 Bushmaster, etc) as well.
I’ve been using a single shot for years now. Would welcome a different caliber.
How did the poll go on arfcom? I know it’s just feelers getting put out to see if the market is wanting this but I know I want this lol
