Nice gun for $179

For $430, not so much.

"these single-shot rifles are aimed at the challenge of hunting only one round on board" - and if you fail the challenge, wound the animal, and it scampers away in agony while you fumble for your next round? Then what?

Stop projecting your own noguns

>>33502427

"Quick second shot" meme needs to die in hunting. Whenever someone talks like an animal should fall right over after you've shot it, and that you should just wing bullets at it until it does, I know they don't have a clue what they're talking about.

Get close, slow down, pick your shot. Then wait. Unless it's a blatant gut shot and you somehow still have a good angle, you probably shouldn't be firing a second time.

I'd like a brass one in .308 but I imagine chamber pressure prevents that. Probably gonna pick up the steel one sometime. I really do like single shot rifles.

>>33502345

Honestly this might be my next rifle, I want a handy little gun in .243 for coastal blacktail and the occasional predator hunting.

I want a nicer scattergat than my mossman though. Thinking hard about a Turkish O/U for an upland gun.

Most of the tards on /k/ want full auto, or whatever resembles what they use in video games.

An extremely accurate single shot rifle is something that the /k/inderkommandos wouldn't even understand.

In the hands of an expert marksman, a fine tuned single shot is far more deadly that a 100 monkeys firing M2s with unlimited ammo.

There's a zen aspect to marksmanship that most of the retards here will never understand.

Bulgarian Makaroni or a 5" 1911 variant.

I'm leaning more towards Rock Island or Springfield, but I hear SA manufactures the guns in Brazil rather than have everything made in the US. Also, I'm a sucker for minimalism, so I hate seeing huge logos and rollmarks stamped into the slide of a gun like that.

Might just shell out a few hundred more and get a 70 series Pony.

Dude, there are this of us who like taking the shit off a fleas ass at 1600 yards.
You don't have to have a single shot break action to do it.

Anything that's single shot is either historical (not very accurate usually, though with some exceptions) or boring (so why the fuck bother when a bolt action is just as accurate and has more capacity)

Depends on what gun im using, usually just 240 jsp

>>33502345
.22lr/20g over under. One of those breakdown ones, like a 24C or something.

I thought about getting a .223/12g, but I feel like I would get more use out of the .22.

.223 feels kind of redundant because anything you could shoot with that you could do in with a 12g slug just as well.

Also thinking about some kind of takedown 12g instead, like a Winny Model 12 or something, with the barrel cut back to 20" maybe. A good woods gun.

I can see why the lack of an ejector would be nice if you are handloading cartridges, but I can't imaging there's a whole lot of demand for handloading .223 and .308.

>>33507098

There is a lot of handloading for 308s but 223s not really.

These seem kind of neat, but I wouldn't buy it at the price Henry is likely asking.

What would be really cool is pistol versions of these single shot guns. Imagine the buttstock is cut down so just the rounded pistol grip is left, and the barrel is shortened to maybe 8 inches. I think that gun would be a ton of fun, at least in smaller calibers like .243, 5.56, .22lr and maybe .44 Mag

Currently deciding between a Mossberg 500 and a Browning BPS. The Mossberg is about $425 and comes with both a 28 and 18.5 inch barrel, and the Browning is about $550, only comes with a 20 inch barrel, but is a steal compared to what they usually go for. The Browning would also be good for introducing my lefty friends to shooting.

So the Axis is a better deal despite being a cheap piece of shit? I mean, yeah, it works. So do hi-points. Frankly, they're on par for materials and quality.

You don't need a box mag to hunt. We wiped out the bison with black powder single shots. Tons of hunters go in the field every year with muzzleloaders, and aren't really hurting because of it at nominal ranges. "Quick second shots" are a meme in deer hunting. Most big game hunting, in fact.

You're acting like anyone that would want a single shot for hunting is a rich fedora though.

I already have a great 5+1rd bolt action .30-06. I'd like a .243 for small coastal deer. I'd be happy with a bolt, lever, semi, or single, but I'm still on a budget and would like something that's still well made - the reality is that whatever rifle I use, a successful hunt means I only take one shot.

>>33514871
>You're acting like anyone that would want a single shot for hunting is a rich fedora though.
when a savage axis or hog hunter costs less and is more capable in a wider range of more suitable calibers, the only person who would want a single shot is a fedora or massive turbo poorfag who was already priced out of the market on a new $300 handi rifle.

a noname turkshit single shot shotgun can be had for $150 but you don't have to be a fedora to understand the utility and precision of a real quality single shot like a ruger no1, sharps, springfield, or remington falling block.

The handi rifle is no longer made anon.

>when a savage axis or hog hunter costs less and is more capable in a wider range of more suitable calibers

Savage offers more calibers, but that's irrelevant if you want a .223, .243, .308 etc.

The point is, this gun will be well made. The stock will be American walnut, it will have cut checkering, and the fit and finish will probably be excellent, like most Henry rifles.

You cannot say the same for the Axis. It will absolutely shoot straight, but it looks, feels and handles like shit, and you'll be looking to upgrade pretty much as soon as you get it. People that want a bolt action are better off saving another $200 and getting a 110. I saved up considerably more than that, and bought a new Model 70. No regrets.

When it comes down to deer hunting, it really doesn't matter whether or not you have 1 or 5 rounds. A single shot like this isn't a do all rifle, but if you want a *nice* gun in a new caliber then it fills that niche. All of this hinges of course on it's accuracy, so I'll be waiting for good reviews to come out before I buy.

>The handi rifle is no longer made anon.
because anyone who'd want one can find a used one for $90 in a pawn shop and it will kill a deer as well at 50 yards as a ~$350 henry clone of such

>>33515598

They aren't that cheap where I live anymore. When I see them for sale, they're often in the $350 range, and unfortunately they're moving at that price point.

So, how good would this rifle be for working on my precision/long distance marksmanship?

I'm trying to decide between a M16A1 parts kit and lower or a martini-henry. Its a battle between putting 5 inch exit wound's in targets or that sexy "it ain't me" asethic

Why not get a Biakal Russian-made rifle instead?

Seem to be cheaper and just as well made. My Biakal MP18 12g was a mere 100 dollars and is solid steel and operates smoothly. i'd buy one in .223 in a heartbeat.

The thing is, being poor is a mentality, and it's one that's hard to get out of. Poorfags focus only on functionality and don't really quite grok the concept of spending a few bucks more to get something that has better aesthetics, or nicer fit and finish, or something that will last for years and you can give to your son someday. Yes, some ugly-ass gun that rolled off an assembly line in Chengdu and will be a pile of rust in twenty years will blast a deer or a dindu as well as this Henry will, so if they can find one for $90 bucks in a sleazy pawn shop, then that's what poorfags will go for, because that's their mentality.

I like this board, but it's infested with 20-something poorfags who can't get out of that mentality.

>>33516445

Because fuck Russia, and
>just as well made
You and I may have a different definition of "well made." At that point I really would just buy an axis.

>>33516488

What's funny is that I AM a 20something poorfag. When I bought my first hunting rifle I was making $15/hr and living on my own. I cut all my extraneous expenses, put in a bunch of overtime and bought a gun that I knew I'd never want to replace. A few years later I'm even more broke - I'm in university so I don't make $15/hr forever - but when I look at my gun rack I've got a few quality firearms that cover my bases. If I'm too poor to buy a nice gun, I'm way, way too poor to buy throwaway junk.

>>33516774
This all confirms for me that you won't still be poor when you're 40.

>>33516427
A bolt action would likely serve you better by letting you keep cheek weld and sight picture while chambering a new round.

>>33502358
Strong, accurate actions?

To fill the niche the H&R Handi-Rifle left when they dropped production a few years back.

Fuck you.

>>33513678
pedersoli quality control is meh

Cool gun, if it is 2 MOA or better then I think it's a great value for deer hunting. For $400 I'd rather have a well built, American made single shot rifle than some plastic bolt gun that practically rattles apart every time you work the action.

Weird to leave out an ejector, but whatever.

>>33508992
I went through the same decision 3 months ago. I went with the Mossberg 500 but I would've gone with the Browning if it was a bit cheaper at the time. The magazine size and not having an 18.5inch barrel was a deterrent for me then but, now having shot my Mossberg, I realize the lower capacity and 20inch barrel wouldn't bother me.

>buying one of the shittiest rifles ever made for more than MSRP
>it's a collectors item now t. fudd
this is exactly why singleshots are for fedoras

also for every idiot trying to sell a bone stock handi rifle for north of 300 there is someone selling grandpas tricked out one for 200. and neither is worth the price because of "will open when fired" inherent action flaw and being inaccurate shit that weighs more than a savage axis or remington 700.

>they stopped making them
the particle board stock version

Rock Island GI Model .45 or tactical/modern model (no rail)? First 1911 and likely last, I'm not much of a 1911 guy, I just want something to suppress and make waifu grips for.

Thanks, It's worth taking that into consideration.

Where did I say I was buying a handi rifle? I don't own or want one. I may pick up one of the Henry singles though, depending on reviews. They look to be much better made.

You sure seem salty about single shots. Cheapshit bolt guns have their place - if you need something that spits .223 and you don't enjoy nice things, go for it. If you want even a little pride of ownership, nice handling qualities, fit & finish etc, they suck balls. And frankly most of them aren't that accurate in bigger calibers, the stocks are wet noodles that should be replaced if you want them to really shoot.

It comes back to the same thing - Axis has a magazine, works well, but is a tacky POS. Henry will be well made and aesthetic and also work fine. Their performance as deer rifles relative to eachother will undoubtedly be a wash.

I already have nice, multipurpose bolt guns, semi's, levers, etc. If I'm just looking to get a specific caliber for little money I'd rather buy something with a stock that doesn't deform in my hand when I shoulder it.

>>33520450
Modern. GI variants lack a lot of little improvements youd appreciate like beavertail, good sights, slightly altered ejection port and maybe some other stuff im forgetting.
