I use an H&R in 16ga and an Iver Johnson 12ga that I tend to use for hunting way more than any repeater I have. Since I’m terrible at finding game, a single shot is the most comfortable gun to carry on a walk.
Have some here are a few
H&R USRA
100 + year old crackshot that still lives up to it's name.
Don't see any need to shoot the squirrel more than once in the head.
Nice. I wish some modern company would start making these again!
What would be REALLY cool, is if someone made a receiver/trigger/stock which could accept different AR barrels screwed into it. That way, you could have multiple single shot rifles in different configurations.

So, I've got a NEF 12ga, a NEF 16ga, a H&R-1871 .357/.38 and a H&R-1871 Survivor in .410/ .45LC
Haven't shot the Survivor or the .357/.38 yet but the others work real well. Considering that H&R-1871 is no longer making
any break-open singles anymore, I may not shoot these...

g2 contender, no barrel yet though, id like a 6mm spc eventually
Anybody familiar with a Stevens .410 break-open action? No sights. Seemed a little loose when open, but tight as a drum when locked up, and bore looks clean as can be. I saw one recently for $129 or 139. Should have jumped on it, but had full family in car, and I just stopped my kid from buying something an hour earlier...

Can't help you with the gun above, but for very little more ($173MSRP, may find lower price) you can have a brand-new .410 break-open that will most likely be safer...

Same story. They are still small, but growing fast. I will save for a grandchild, unless the Statists no-knock me in the middle of the night and empty my safe...
I have one of these, .22 Henry youth bolt rifle. I got it for my kids when they were small, but I really enjoy shooting it!

Damn, when I posted earlier, I completely forgot my Kimber 82 Government is a single shot too...
Oops, also my Savage Anschutz 64.

I like the idea of having one of these kicking around.
Seems like a whole lot of gun for the money.
Ejectors and screw in chokes. That’s some serious value.
Does anyone know if they have a delete for the safety? Or if one could be made easily enough?
I might have to buy one to find out.

I used to hunt with a 12GA Stevens 107b. A miss when hunting is painful, so you do make it count. I bought a muzzleloader with the intent to hunt but still haven't found time to get out there with it.

I have a couple single shot .22 rifles that are old enough to have no S/N. One has a scope on it and I use that for small game hunting. I enjoy walking the woods with that little rifle.
Also have a Cobray single shot .45LC/ .410 pistol (putting that up for sale soon) and a single shot 12 gauge shotgun. I have one of my father's old guns, a .25acp Italian pistol that is missing the magazine and magazine catch, making it pretty much a single shot.
