I bought a H&R model 158 Topper with the 30-30 and 20 gauge barrel combo for a hundred bucks from a guy who just got married and his new wife didn't like guns back in about 1993. Only used the twenty gauge a couple of times but I put a H&R scope mount on the 30-30 barrel and mounted an old Weaver 4x scope on it and used it for my deer rifle. What a tack driver! probably the most accurate gun I have ever owned. Put many a deer in the freezer with it. My older sons make fun of me for using it. Old fat man with a little gun! But old fat man is the first one dragging out a nice buck from the timber opening morning and they aren't laughing then. Hand loaded some 170grn Hornady SST bullets for it and they work great. "One shot one kill". Now one of my son's wants it for his son and I told him he can have it when I die but until then it still goes with me to the timber during deer season.

Dont forget the safety of that transfer bar between the hammer and firing pen. It wont fire without physically pulling the trigger and that makes it possibly the safest gun ever manufactured.

I bought a Topper 12 ga. from a pawn shop many many years ago for $20.00 and still have it. works great

Among the many dumb trades or sales involving firearms over the last forty some years that I have made involved trading off a H&R in .45-70 and 12Ga. I've yet to find a better "pack gun" that served more than one purpose.

I just got one at an auction! after a $20 FFL I spent $90 on it and I think its a neat gun. I have the 20 gauge variant, I didn't know that you can swap the barrels out

Thanks for the fine video!

I have an H&R model 88. About 2 weeks ago I picked up a 30.30 barrel. Seems like a tight fit, but have not fired it yet.
