H & R single shot, shotgun

[Stumpknocker]

Anyone own this gun. I was thinking of getting the 20gauge, and fit it with a 3x9 scope. I hunt in baltimore county and would use it there. I thought od buying a 20 gauge barrell for my encore, but it would cost close to the same for a new H&R.

Also any suggestions on a scope?? I don't like the typical shotgun scope, I am more partial to a rifle scope.

This gun is tops on my list as well. I am very interested to hear what owners have to say, as I'd like to get once also.

You wont regret the choice!! Go with the rifle scope"shotgun" scope is a marketing gimmick.

I have one and have never had any problems , and it is very acurrate .....

Why not just shoot your muzzleloader during shotgun season? It's leagal. More accurate, longer range, no extra cost

I own a 12 and 20. Both are very accurate. Used decent rifle scopes (3-9x) on both. The 12 shoots well with remington core lokt slugs, the 20 shoots better with 2 3/4" lightfields. Be careful if you shoot the remingtons - they will put a dent in your shoulder, but they put nice holes in deer.

I bought my son the H&R 20 single shot w/ bull barrel last year! It is amazingly accurate with Remmington gold rifled slugs. The gun is MONEY at 180+ yards! I put a 3x9 scope on it because we rarely have a shot at over 150yds. It is very heavy so it doesn't have too much kick but is a hand full to carry. He has only had one shot at a deer with it but a bad case of Buck fever greatly affected his accuracy.
Buy the gun you won't be sorry!

I have one with a 3x9x40 leupold scope. I use it for stand/still hunting and I have killed many deer at 150 yds. I would suggest if you do buy one get it with the riffled bull barrel. I had to try 3 different shells to find one that shot a tight group and it was the 2 3/4winchester part. gold ( $16 a box of 5) This gun shoots 2" groups at 150 yds.

Do you guys suggest the 12 gauge, or 20 gauge?

[CaptainK.Salmon]

The 20 gauge is more flatter shooting and youll get about an extra 50 yds over the 12 gauge. I like it because its shoots just like my 50cal. Encore but with out the mess.
