Hey all. I have a single Barrel 12 gauge and its a fun little thumper to take out once in awhile. But I'm intersted in the pump shot guns these guys make, whats the quality of their pumps?? is it as good as their single barrel's? is it really worth it? how well are they made?? how long will they last, are they relable?? etc.......................
i don't own one but my brother does, i prefer the simple single shot. his gun is well worth what he paid $189 its the camo gun with fiber optic sights, the fit and finish are top shelf, and some 870 acc. will exchange with them. they are made in china but the company is here, so most of the money you spend will come back here to their main company. if i liked pumps i would get one for sure.
I bought one two years ago from Dicks Sporting Goods. I went to Dicks with plans on buying a Mossberg 500. When I got to looking at the Mossbergs they seemed cheap to an extreme. The forearms were loose on everyone they had and I tried four of them to be sure they were all the same. Then a shotgun with very nice wood caught my eye. It was an H&R Pardner pump in 12ga. The fit and finish was far better than on the Mossberg. It had a screw in choke and was $29 cheaper to boot. It came with one screw in choke in modified for steel shot. I like it a bunch would like to have one in 20ga too.
Hey Tuckahoe glad you like yours, I like my 20ga. model. This shotgun makes me feel like I stole it because it was cheap to buy though and it is a well built shotgun to.
You'll like the 20ga, model to if you decide to get one...A.H
jrswanson1 you have a Pardner Pump to ??? Great !!! Did you buy the wood stock or synthectic stocked model ?
Anyway you can't beat the price and the over all quality is very good.
Yes I did. Sorry, I haven't been on this board as much. I got the wood stocked version with the 28" barrel and I'll be using it on doves today. The wood on this shotgun is really nice!
jadek cograts bro LOL I think the paper work that came with my Pardner Pump said Mossberg, Winchester and another one (chokes) I can't remember will fit to.
The Black smooth Walnut stock is excellent. I hope they never put checkering on these stocks.
jrswanson1 Let us know how your the 12ga. Pardner Pump does useing it for Doves please sir.
Tuckahoe I'm delighted you like yours to. I've noticed they've gone up on the price a little bit, but there still unbelieveable affordable for what you get.
Yup, they use winchokes. I tried remchokes on mine, they are too long. I would like to say I smoked a bunch of doves, but alas the snipers at the other end of the field picked them all off or sent them flying 300' up, so I got no shots off at all. The barrel on mine is too long for me to carry into the woods for squirrels so this is basically my field gun. If they sold shorter barrels I'd pick one up.
