I am thinking about buying one of these rifles because it seems to be a reliable accurate rifle thats economical.I am looking for your personal experience owning one of these rifles.I believe in one shot one kill, being humane to the animal.If you have one of these rifles I would like to hear your experiences because I am looking for one of these rifles.

They are nice rifles, i had one in .243 that was a hell of a shooter. Shouldn't have let that one go. My buddy still has a .223. They are heavy, and some of them have pretty stiff triggers. Not sure how easy they are to find nowadays.

Another nice little .17 is the Savage 93r17 line.

I have an H&R 44 Mag Handi-rifle w/bull barrel that will shoot a 3 shot ragged hole group at 100 yd.

Funny how in a world of electric motored lead dumpers we still value a well made single shot rifle, isn't it?

I agree. Have two single shot break-open rifles and one shotgun. When I bought mine, I never would have thought that an H&R would be a collector piece.

A few years ago I had a Sportster in .17 Mach II. It was quite accurate but the trigger was bit stiff. I'm looking for another one.
