Quick price check - H & R Handi Rifle Sen Stock 357 Ma

[bedbugbilly]

I know ti will vary with geographical area but can anyone tell me what a "fair price" is on a H & R "Handi Rifle" - synthetic stock - chambered in 357 Mag. - excellent / like new condition? Thanks.

I'm no expert but I'd give $250 for one of those. Plus or minus depending on the intensity of the itch.

[gpidaho]

As mine is a pretty good shooter even with the Looong throat. I wouldn't take $350 for it. Above that, maybe. Gp

Go look at the barrels available for sale on evilbay.

Prices range a lot from pretty reasonable for common to 500$ for rare.
Receivers can still be found in the 75-85$ price range, stocks from 50-100$.
Then there can be some issues with fitting together a pieced up H&R. Some lock up, some do not.

They do NOT make them any more. I'm not selling any of mine, and most guys I've talked to with more than 2 are not selling theirs.

If I did not have mine, I would go to 500$ for one easy. But I have what I want.

But for .357mag in good condition, as a full complete unit. I would not expect to find one for less than 400$.

Hope that helps.

Unfortunately, those are likely accurate want prices and sell prices, respectively.

I paid $225 for mine about 7 yrs ago, reamed it out to .357 Max, I wouldn't take twice as much for it now.

I'm not crazy about them I've owned several that I took on trade in 223 mostly. A sprinkling of others. The only new ones I bought were 22Hornets when H&R was clearing out for NEF take over. I don't own one because what people are willing to pay for them. At $350 or more them dudes are going down the road. At that money there are a lot of BAs avaible. New low end and used BAs saturate the market.

Unfortunately not many low end makers make a .357

You can have a brand new Henry single shot in 357 magnum for about $370 out the door, taxes and everything. Paying that much or more for an H&R is foolish.

If it is an SB1 frame, $175 is fair for one in great condition. On an SB2 frame, I'd go up to $250. They aren't worth more than that, no matter what the price gougers say.

[Drm50]

The new Win 350 is about same as 357. There is low end models of them coming out. The last couple years I sighted in a couple Ruger 77/357s and they were surprisingly accurate. Don't know what they go for used. We just got Rifle in Ohio a few years ago and most watch to much TV and buy 45/70s. A 357 or 44 mag would be a more practical choice in SE Ohio.

[tunnug]

Some may call it price gouging but the reality of it is availability and demand, there are a few calibers out there that are very hard to find and the prices reflect that, the Handiholics over at Grey Beards Outdoor (GBO) can attest to that.

I have that same synthetic stock 357mag Handi. It’s too accurate to let go. I saw what the people on GB said about them, but when I put up a cherry 44mag handi, nobody wanted it at anything less than a giveaway. What’s said, and what’s accomplished are two separate things I found. I’d see if $250 would buy it.

[Jniedbalski]

Cva Triditions,And Henry ,and Rossi all make single shots in pistols or rifle caliber.

[Shawlerbrook]

Rather have a Contender, but they are still sought after.

Pardon my ignorance.
I thought bbl's had to be fitted to a Rcvr.

Some will fit as-is, some require fitting. Not usually that big a deal. I think someone said about 60% would swap.
I've had some of each.
