Just picked up a single shot 44 and this thing shoots like you wouldn’t believe. Quality way above the price!

Congrats on the new 44. I have seen some post and targets on another forum and his shot very well as well. I like others am hoping for more pistol calibers and maybe even one in 38-55. Wouldn't that be special. Al

Thank you so much for the welcome. I’ve shot with open sights at 50 yards so far and holes overlap. Shot at a stone at 50 yards and it disappeared! Will go to 100 when weather is a little better. My problem is whether to save up and put Skinners sights or a weaver 1-3 scope. It begs for the Skinners. It’s beautiful and the handi rifles I’ve had are not even close to the same league. My local store charged $349. Looks and shoots as if it was $700. I can’t get over how nice they are.

That's my assessment, too. Fit and finish are really good. I'm looking forward to nicer weather to see just how good a 45-70 shoots with a scope mounted :) .

If I didn't already have an H&R single shot in 45 Colt, I would get one. I might get one anyway, but I got the Henry single shot in 223 first. What I would really like to see is one chambered in .357.

You're killin' me here! The 44 SS is on my short list. I'm just trying to get everything I I already own up to where I want them before I start any new projects.

Go for the Skinner rear and a Lyman 17a globe on the front! You won't be sorry. Personally I prefer iron sights on a nice light single shot vs a scope. More in keeping with the KISS principle. :D

Ahhh the .223 Single is the one I would like to save up for. Called Andy at Skinner sights and he says the handi rifle will fit and I’ll place my order soon!

If you want more controllable adjustability, the Williams FP-HR TK for the H&R should fit and work well with a Lyman globe.
