G-MAN Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Remington Model SPR 18. Yep. My dad gave me a Remington 1100 for Christmas when I was 16, but he taught me to hunt when I was ten with a single shot 12 gauge. His philosophy was that if you know you've only got one shot you'll make it count.I've always been a fan of single shot rifles, especially of the Farquharson-style like the Ruger No. 1. The SPR18 is not a falling block Farquharson, but it's got the same lines and no exposed hammer like the H&R (NEF) single shots. Plus the wood and finish is supposed to be a lot nicer than the NEFs, and for roughly the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Here is a video of a guy sighting his in. It's not a tack driver, but it's not bad, either.

RLH70 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 My brother has one. I believe it is made by Baikal for Remington, it is a solid gun, but you are correct, a tack driver it is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just pulled the trigger on one in .223 this morning. $238.00 with shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLH70 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I bought my wife a Baikal IZH-27 O/U several years back, thing is built like a tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
