Visiting the H&R Website today lookin' for rifle barrels and came across this NEW model (to me anyway!). Smoothbore ONLY as far as I can tell, but if it's priced like the little Single Shots, it's gotta' be a low cost shotgun.

Pardner® Pump

For more than a century, pump shotguns have proven their worth and gained the affections of the American Sportsman. And the new NEF Pardner® Pump offers the best value you’ll ever find in a 12-gauge pump shotgun.

We challenge you to compare the Pardner® Pump, feature for feature, with any of its higher price competitors. The pardner® Pump has a steel receiver, double action bars, cross-bolt safety, easy take-down, 28" barrel with 3" chamber and ventilated rib, screw-in Modified choke tube, 4-shot magazine with 2-shot plug furnished, an American walnut stock with ventilated recoil pad and a classic grooved fore-end.

The Pardner® Pump is backed by the same H&R 1871® one-year warranty protection as all our H&R and NEF branded firearms

we have two in our retail shop,they look like a allmost perfect copy of a rem. 870.the mag tube is longer so the mag. tube support ring is in a different place,i have been wanting to strip one down and see how much was copied.they are chinese made though.i think they are arround $200.00 so at least they are priced good.no different barrels of other things are offered as of yet.they do have choke tubes,i need to also check what other tubes it will take.

You beat me to it, but I was also going to say that it looks like an 870. I haven't had a chance to see one yet, but I'm not really looking for any more pump guns. I already have 3 870's.

Yes i know this is an old dead thread....found it on a search...

Why....well....because i walked into my local Gander Mountain this week and found and H&R pump pardner on clearance for $130......looked it over and decided that for that price an 870 copy (i have a wingmaster) was coming home with me......well...actually it will come home with me one of these days.....i put it on layaway......no...$130 was not an issue to pay....it is getting it past the wife that i have to plan....lol.....so now i have 90 days to figure out how to sneak it past her.

anyway.....i know the some will argue that it is a chinese POS....maybe it is ...we shall see....but i now have a an 870 in sheeps clothing to bubba to my hearts content without EFFING up my wingmaster......

AKA, the backup tacticool 12 ga......
