Range Report…
Back in the spring I set up my old H&R Topper for my daughter-in-law.
She wants to give deer hunting a try this year.
I finally had some time to slip out to the range a few weeks ago to get
that little 2.5 power Bushnell dialed in.
I think we have a good start.
Now it’s her turn in a couple weeks to show me how it’s really done.

Re: Range Report…
Wow! You made a bench-rest target gun out of that one! Tell her eye shots only!!

Re: Range Report…
With accuracy like that who needs a repeater? Good job on the rifle. I'll bet your DIL gets her deer with ease.

That is excellent performance!

Re: Range Report…
I got that little H&R 20 gauge when I was 11 years old for Christmas.
My very first shotgun. I only used it for a couple of hunting seasons
until I moved up to a Winchester model 1200 12 ga.
My Dad installed the recoil pad and purchased the 30-30 barrel a
few years after I was done with it for my younger brother to use.
After all these years this was the first time I ever shot it with the
30-30 barrel. I do remember Dad saying it was a real shooter
with that barrel.

Good? You didn't even hit the bullseye!
Wish I could shoot like that! Great little rifle.

Re: Range Report…
Very nice.
The H&R's will surprise a guy. I had a 223 that we re-chambered to the 225 Winchester that will shoot inside 3/4". My 45-70's first three shots (once I got her on paper) was a inch and and eigth group. Both of these are at 100 yards and of course I have to do my part. Nice rifles.

Re: Range Report…
WELL IT IS A NICE GROUP BUT... we all know a Pennsylvania whitetail will laugh off the 30-30 and grab the gun and beat you with it. No really I heard this at the gunshop just the other day, and you know they can't say stuff at a gunshop that ain't true! I hope she enjoys it as much as I bet you did shooting it.
P.S. I believe the stuff about the 30-30 so I am taking a real powerhouse this year.....32 special

Re: Range Report…
You know, they got those old Maynard single shot target rifles to shoot very well back in the 1870's, 80's, using tall, vernier tang sights and a long heavy octagon barrel. The action of that rifle was no better than the H&R Topper. Usually there was a target type buttstock added to complete the package. Perhaps adding a different buttstock, a 30" octagon barrel, and appropriate sights might just turn that 'ol H&R into a reasonable single shot target rifle for longer ranges! It sure is shooting that way now with nothing fancy added! I wonder if anyone has ever done that? Something to ponder, anyway.

Re: Range Report…
If you look very closely at the pictures you will see --- there ain't no flies on that little rifle.
Re: Range Report…
That is great! I like those older H&Rs. I can't read the label, are they 150 or 170gr?
