It's been what, 3 years now since H&R shut down, and I still haven't heard of a good reason why. Their business model seemed pretty solid. Sell single shot rifles in a large variety of calibers that would otherwise be inaccessible in a $300 price range. They seemed like they were everywhere, sold them by the truck load, and they were perfect for experimenting with prototype wildcats due to their cheap price and versatility.
What the heck happened to them? Was it just a warning sign to what's happening to Remington and Marlin now?
I'm hoping the new Henry rifles fill that gap and come down in price a bit.
