The H & R Pardner Pump Shotgun Review

74

By Wesman Todd Shaw

A Great Rifled Barrel Shotgun For Less Than $300.00

I'm becoming more and more enamored with guns, and the out doors. I'd first got into guns, shooting sports, and hunting at a very young age, and then I just got out of it. I became something of a bookworm with a rabid affection for baseball. Nowadays, I read less, but probably think more. I also still enjoy baseball, but because of the good investment value provided with ownership of firearms, I want to own more of them. I used to own stocks in various companies; but it would have been wiser, in the end, had I invested in more guns. There is also, of course, the patriotic thing to do; we must simply scream, and continually scream louder ever time someone tries to encroach upon our Constitutionally provided rights, and of course, this includes the right to bare arms. These things, our rights, are not to be taken lightly at all.

High on my list of high cost to value guns is anything by Harrington and Richardson, otherwise known as "H & R," they just make great guns for a low price. These are all affordable, and worthy investments that also make great hunting companions. I own a Harrington and Richardson single shot shotgun since I was twelve years old.  I know these are good guns for use, or just for investments.  I paid sixty five dollars for the single shot, and now it sells for two hundred bucks; that's a nice, safe, profitable investment!

The H & R Pardner Pump Shotgun.

The H & R Pardner Pump Shotgun

If you think that the H & R Pardner Pump Shotgun looks very similar to a Remington 870 Pump Shotgun, well, you're onto something with that. The gun is so similar to the Remington 870 that legal action was going to be considered as a recourse for this faithful reproduction up until the same company bought out the both of them. If you're a poor boy like myself, then that was a good thing, as the made in China H and R is a wonderful gun for the money, and you are probably finding less money in your pockets these days. Sure, if you can buy American, then you should do so whenever you can. With the H & R you are looking at a savings of about $20 to $50 bucks.

Having not field tested one of these on my own, I can leave you with the complaints of the Outdoor Life reviewer, and his or her expressed thoughts, "wish it had a better trigger." The trigger pull weight is reported to be six pounds and thirteen ounces. As a slug gun, this shotgun features a rifled barrel, and works as a rifle in a pinch. My first thoughts when reading about this thing were that it would make a wonderful gun for hog hunting; and as was further reported, the accuracy at a hundred yards with slugs was great. One must realize that as a rule, firing slugs from a shotgun is going to be a universally high recoil proposition, and that there are after market remedies and products for that. The gun comes with Cantilever extensions and Weaver style mounts provide for adding a scope on top with ease. Priced to sell at $296 dollars, this gun cost less than most rifled barrels do all on their own. I want one, and the value for the money on this great shotgun is going to be tough to beat.

I never had a gun, and now as a convicted felon I will never be allowed to have one. Why convicted felons are not allowed to have guns? Your hub really convinced me of the financial wisdom of investing in guns!!!

There goes my opportunity of a life time to by financially independent...

Hey Crin, I don't have the money to buy lots of guns. I don't even have the money to pay for the food that I eat every day; but I think that if I had a review article about every single gun on the market; that maybe I'd be somewhat financially able.

Send lawyers guns and money:-P Don't know squat about shotguns but I know I don't want one starin' at me! My ex's mom lived in Houston and about 10 years ago the guy she lived with died. He was a hunter originally from Tennessee and had all kinds of collectible guns and fishing rods, reels and lures. They went down they to move her back here and gave all the shit away except for a tackle box full of nice lures. Her dumb ass brother gave the fucking guns to the cops! WTF?

Sounds like someone who hates money to me, Tom. I don't have no money to buy anything with, but I will publish enough hubs that eventually I start making some money, and I'm going to buy a new computer, and several guns.

Obama's lied time and again about guns, and his position on that issue. I do not trust him, or any high level government figurehead, or anything that comes out of their mouths.

Guns don't kill people, cops do. Guns don't kill people, the media incites people into violence. That's my stance on the issue. I've had guns since I was twelve, I'm somehow failed to even consider shooting anyone yet, it must be because I refuse to watch television. I just don't know what's wrong with me.

I'm with you man, I always say it would be a scary world if only cops and criminals had guns. As for shooting someone, ya' just neva know. The only thing wrong with you is it ain't opening day yet!!

LOL! I don't even really want to shoot any birds, deer, pigs. . . .anything living. I've just become rather fascinated with quality guns. I want to shoot targets.

Oh, I've not started with my growing fascination with archery yet, but it's coming. When I was a kid I had a nice compound bow for a while, but I was too small and weak to even pull the string back. Now though? I've got twenty clear acres in the back yard, and I want an effin bow. I'll be out there for hours and hours and hours at a time setting up and trying to hit targets. Oh, I can almost taste the addiction. . . . .!!!

Dude you need to shoot a pig and butcher that bad boy. I was just watching a show about Kentucky hunting and they showed pix of young kids bagging their first turkey or deer. Folks around here are into it. I like it cause I don't have to do the work and still get to sample the stuff. There are so many fuckin' deer in the city here they let folks bow hunt to thin them out. I'm not sure if killing a deer (that just kind of stops and looks at you) is considered hunting though. We had a guy from Cincinnati that was in the Olympics and won gold medals for archery.

Dude, those deer are smart. The biggest buck I've ever seen. . . .was right at the place I went fishing today. That huge mutha scratcher just stood in the road and looked at us, like "what the fuck are you doing in my hood?"

That big buck knew it wasn't deer season,and I imagine that he knew that he was in a place where folks couldn't just shoot him either.

I don't want to think about that stuff too much, because then It might make me want to stop eating meat, and I rather like eating meat. . . . .

Yeah, you're right though, if I'm going to hunt, then I better damn well know how to slice the kill up. . . . .and I know exactly fuck all about that at the moment.

It's just like using a rig, if you need help, you don't need to be doing it. So I gotta learn to clean my animals. . . .if I ever kill one.

Uh. . . .yeah, think that's what I meant to say.

If you've ever been around anyone dressing a deer you know it's fuckin' nasty. Deer meat is pretty good but they make a summer sausage from it that kicks ass. I think a pig would be doable...oh shit that didn't sound right at all (cause I'm sure I've done a couple). Hunting is fine if done right (I hate those damn game preserves)

hahahhahahahahha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude, in Texas right now; there is no season or limit on hogs. People WANT you to hunt hogs on their property. I just haven't found anyone to go hunting with yet. Bunch of pussies. . . .

I think that cleaning the kill will put everything into the proper perspective. The Native Americans had some respect for the Buffalo, etc.

Kids these days can throw half a big mac away, and feel nothing. That shit isn't NOT right. I'm slowly moving towards a restricted meat diet. I'm going to eat more pasta and cheese, veggies and bread; beans and potatoes.

I'm just not to where I can stop eating meat, but there's no reason for me to eat as much of it as I do. If I were on some weight lifting program or something. . . .then my diet would make sense.

Deer is really lean, and that is good; I think it would make a better roast, or a sausage in a lot of cases. It can be overcooked really easy, and then be meat chewing gum, or something.

I had a chicken fried deer steak once that was really good. . . . .but I swear that I chewed for hours. I could have done that shit better myself.

Soak that shit in enough lime juice, and it will soften up, bet that.

Tom, what is a game preserve???????? Pardon what surely is a retarded question, I've went through Texas Public schools, you know.

I'm a public school reject too. It's a place where they take so called hunters where it's all fenced in and the animals don't have a chance in hell. Folks pay big $ to do the shit too. That's bullshit and not sport in my book.

That sounds like a concentration camp for certain animals.

Nice article,meant for people that needs the H and Rpardner pump shotgun.

Wesman Todd Shaw Hub Author 14 months ago

Well, I'm not certain that anyone actually needs one, unless they just need a gun around the house for home protection. It is fun to target shoot, and hunting is fun as well. It's a nice gun, and a great value for the amount that it costs.

Hey Dusty, I still wanna go Hog Hunting out here one of these days. The people across the street have a couple hundred acres that backs up to a large creek....and you can hear them hunting right here KAPOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

The H & R guns are exact copies of things like Remmington, in this case their 870.

50 Caliber profile image

50 Caliber Level 7 Commenter 5 months ago

I stay with Remington, especially during times you just can't survive the click of a misfire. If you've seen it in life I have at least handled it if not owned it or currently own it. You up for calling in the seats on the chopper and hanging AR-10 rifles from bungees and running hogs and popping their heads? The birds been checked and is flying again, I prefer warmer weather but I'm down for a bit of fun,

Damnit, I'm going to have to get me one of them lil' helicopters if I keep watching this stuff.

I hope somebody's rounding them hogs up for some meat. I do know that there are some diseases to worry about being spread in some of those hogs though.

50 Caliber profile image

50 Caliber Level 7 Commenter 5 months ago

Wesman, the disease is transferable and I ain't picken them up! I took 4 Russian bore, cold weather north California, no worries but the warm weather ferrel hogs of Texas, let the farmers pick them up and burn them,
