I wish someone would bring back the H&R single shots and 22 revolvers

I just have a soft spot for them. I have a select few, and the Henry Single Shots have been a worthy replacement, but they are just not the same.

By all accounts the H&R single shots went away because they were viewed as entry level rifles and they just could not compete with the entry level single shots. So don’t bring back the base models, bring back the Classic and Ultra. Price them to be competitive with the Henry single shots. I believe they could hold their own.

The Deluxe Classic was their line of shotguns. Bring them back in all gauges from 410 to 12, maybe even 10 ga. One in 28 gauge would be great for upland and doves. Thev16 gauge would be a good Al around. If geese were on the menu, the 10 would shine.

The Buffalo Classic was offered in a carbine length in 45 Colt, and the rifle model was offered in 38-55 and 45-70. I would bring the rifles back in rimmed cartridges from the 17 Hornet to the 45-120. I would love to have a 22 Hornet and 30-30 Winchester with 26" barrels. The Buffalo Classic Carbine should be chambered for rimmed cartridges from 32 S&W to 50 S&W. I would love to have one in 32 H&R Magnum.

The Ultra could be chambered in rimless cartridges from the triple deuce (222 Remington) to 35 Whelen.I will keep my 25-06 thank you! The Ultra came withtwo stock options, Monte Carlo and Thumbhole.

And the revolvers. My favorites are .22 Long Rifles, but maybe these could be converted to w H&R magnum as well.
The 999 Sportsman was just a good all around revolver and the 903 was for those who wanted a scoped hunting revolver.

I found a like new engraved 999 sportsman. Asking price was $999. No, I did not buy it.

Thing is, H&R had a fairly large following. Prices on handi rifles have gone up considerably since they went under. I have been finding them from $400 to $600 depending on condition, and more for certain chamberings.
Yep. Heck look at Ebay the barrels are sell for more than they sold new. All handi rifles at the shows this winter have been in the 500 range.
Wow $999.00 I would have past it myself lol

It was pretty though………

I often wonder if it was priced that way because of the model number? I also wonder if it sold.

Found a Buffalo Classic 38-55 new in box a couple of years ago. still had the tags on it. Priced at $750. I did make a $550 offer, he passed. Came back the next day was going to offer $600, and the rifle had sold.

Also thinking about this. Doubtfully we will ever,never see them again. Reason being H&R sold to Marlin. Then MRlin sold to Remington and no with Remington being defunct I imagine the old worn machinery is gone! Scraped or who knows
