My first gun was an H&R Topper in 20 gauge with a full choke. At some point I sold it. I regret that decision.

One of my very most favorite guns is an NEF .410 with a full choke. Great rabbit gun. I think I paid $103 for it at Bi-Mart around 2008 or 2009.

I think one of the first posts I ever made here (I think it was here) was in 2010, when I saw an ad for the local Big 5 Sporting Goods, who had a brand-new H&R Topper in 12 ga., mod. choke, 28" barrel.
It was on sale, advertised at $112.
They only had the one gun.
I asked if that was a good price, as I hadn't even looked at gun prices in forever.
I was basically told to, not walk, RUN to that store and buy it. That was an excellent price.
Next day I went down there and asked about it, but it had sold a couple days before.
In the end, it was no big loss. I've already got a 20 ga. Topper and it shoots just fine, plus I inherited a couple from Dad, so I'm covered when it comes to scatterguns.

This an an unknown make .410 That has been in my family for close to 100 years. This was bought by my grandfather in the mid 1920's. The only markings are the serial numbers and "New York", and above the New York is a partial "AME". The old photo is my Father when he was 16, around 1933. Granddad started a walnut farm about six miles east of Amity, Or. just after the great depression. That's where I was taught to shoot the .410 and a Winchester 62A, ( which I also still have ) when I was eight years old. I'm now 70. Many squirrels and other rodents and birds fell to both those guns. The round count of that .410 must be huge. I shot it regularly up until 1985.
