NEF Handi Rifle
Affordable Toughness and
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. |

NEF 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.

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.
