NEF Handi Rifle |
 |
Affordable Toughness & accuracy.
The NEF Handi Rifle, manufactured
by Harrington and Richardson is definitely worth a look. If you are
looking for big bore knockdown power at an affordable
price, this might be the survival
rifle for you. Harrington and Richardson
was acquired by Marlin in
2000, and then in 2007, Marlin was acquired
by Remington. So that now makes H&R and New
England Firearms the property of Remington.

Handi Rifle
The simple single shot Handi Rifle is available as a Rifle,
a Rifle/shotgun combo, or a rifle/slug
gun combo in a huge selection
of calibers. There is also
a "NEF Survivor" version chambered in .223
or .308, or if you prefer a .45
/ .410 combo gun. (Shown below)

Aftermarket
accessories are not as easy to come across as accessories for a 10/22 for
example, but there are some stock options available to dress up the
less than exciting factory finish. The varmint stock shown
below is made by Choate machine and tool in Arkansas, and comes with
a built in bipod. It will fit all H&R and NEF single
shot rifles and shotguns with the exception of the 10ga and the slug
barrels.
Another good choice among the many variants of the handi rifle is the "superlight compact." It weighs in
at just 5 1/3 lbs, almost 2 lbs lighter than the standard Handi
rifle, and is just 33 inches long compared the usual 38"
offering. If you are going to be carrying a rifle around for
any period of time, size and weight are factors that must be
considered.
The single shot capacity is a drawback for
most zombie hunters, but if you just want to put some meat over the
campfire, the NEF Handi rifle will take care of business, and
actually some of us like the challenge of having to get it right
with one shot.
