"Primitive" Weapons

I went by Swann's Gun Repair at lunch today. He has two new Handi Rifles in stock. A synthetic stock in .44 mag for $249 and a monte carlo wood stock in .444 for $279. He also has a used stainless steel TC Encore Pro Hunter in .35 Whelan for $499. It has a fluted barrel and a synthetic thumbhole stock.I don't know if these are good deals or not. Just letting everybody know.

That's a really good price for the pro hunter.

Re: "Primitive" Weapons

The Pro Hunter looked new. Swann's is on Old Canton Rd. It's .7 miles north of Northside Dr on the right. I hang out there a lot at lunch. It's only a block from my office.

Guys swann and my dad and I have known each other for years. He is a great guy and a super gunsmith and he prices his stuff fair. That's about the going rate for new handi rifles.

I'm about to buy a .45-70 H&R from a friend for $150. All I will need, then, is scope rings and reloading stuff.

Never say you "need" them or they will take you to the bank.
It will be like MSRP +p+p

Re: "Primitive" Weapons

I was at Swann's again today. He had a couple of camo Handi-Rifles in .35 Remington. I didn't know they made them in .35 Rem.

Re: "Primitive" Weapons

35 rem would be my choice for prim weapon season!! I may have to go down there!

Re: "Primitive" Weapons

I usually try to all my business with Swann's. His bore sighting is second to none. I have had 3 different guns and scopes put on by him and with each one, when I went to shoot them to make sure they were good, I put the second shot inside the first shot. This happened on 3 different occasions with 3 different guns and scopes. I was impressed to say the least

Didn't know that the .35 Remington was available in the Handi-Rifle. I thought it was just .35 Whelen. I still will stick with my KP1 in .45-70 but have several friends that would be intrested in a .35 Remington for "single shot season".

Re: "Primitive" Weapons

+1 on Swann's. When I lived near there he did an FFL transfer for me when I bought my M-1 Garand. :thumbup:

Re: "Primitive" Weapons

I don't THINK they are making a 35 Remmy,,,,however I KNOW they are making 35 Whelan....I bought one this year,leaves a 45/70 and 444 in the dust
PS thats a GOOD price on the Encore,better jump on it

Re: "Primitive" Weapons

Dave told me the distributor he was getting the .35 Remingtons from had talked H&R into making a few hundred for him. He said the H&R website doesn't list a .35 Remington. Dave had 3 or 4 of them. I think they are all gone now. I didn't see any when I was there today.
