H&R Ultra Slug
#11
I tink I paid $175 for the last 12 gauge USH I bought. It was used and had no scope. There was nothing wrong with the finish but I didn't want 2 exact USH deluxe's in laminated camo so I refinished in something I thought I would like. Went for a more sinister look. Needless to say I absolutely love the results.

It was nothing to do really. I will say that the clear H&R puts on these things is extremely hard.
I just pulled the stocks off and steel wooled them. Starting with a finer wool did nothing to the finish. So I started a little coarser and then went with fine. I cleaned out the checkering with first a stainless steel wire brush and then a finer and softer brass brush.
Wiped it all down with thinner and then a tackcloth. Then a few layers of a Rust-O-Leum black satin.
Couple hours and 5 or 6 bucks.
I think this one shoots a tad better than my old original H&R. I don't really want to say how far away I dropped a buck during the 2008 season because it always seems to bring out doubters and naysayers. But I know because I paced off every step and it was...... .

I just picked up two last Wednesday. Both 12 gauge, one deluxe in green laminate stock for my son. While I was picking it up the dealer told me he had just gotten another one plain brown stained stock and forearm. That one is for me They are becoming hard to find. Going to mount Nikon Pro Staff scopes and pickup a number of different slugs. While we was there my son also bought a Springfield XD(?) in 40 cal. Range report to follow when it warms up a bit.

The 12 is topped with a Leupold VX II 3-9x40 and the 20's are both topped with Burris Fullfield II's 3-9x40's.. I was a fan of Leupolds until my buddy talked me into trying Burris scopes.. I found the Burris Fullfield's transmitted light better and were much clearer.. Just my 2 cents!
