There is a reason why these guns simply never go out of style. They are very reliable, simple to operate, and can be used for many different things.Made in 1981, this H&R Model 176 was originally designed as a "magnum" hunting shotgun, with a long barrel specifically for that purpose. With a 36" barrel, is clearly appropriate to down birds in flight or other moving targets by putting the "lead" further downrange with accuracy. This shotgun will shine when goose hunting, especially when the birds are far from the blind. Good luck in your bidding!
