Hi just picked up an old H&R 700,semi-auto.22Mag. Going to replace my H&K 300 .22 mag with this H&R for coyote hunting. The H&K is starting to show some where and I would like to save it as a collector piece. I also use an AR-15 and CZ 527 in .223 for yotes. The .22 mag is for set up under fifty yards. Here is a picture of it.
It appears to have been shot very little and no rust. Nylon buffer slows little sign of firing. Action feels like it isn't even broken in. I took it apart today to clean it, screws look like they have never seen a screw driver. Nice walnut stock, a little too beefy. Barrel 22" long could be a couple inches shorter, may be in the future. Trigger pull was long and heavy, about six pounds. I quickly polished several trigger parts with a dremel tool and polishing compund, and passed the sear over a extra fine diamound steel several times. Which made an immediate improvement. I'll work on the trigger some more next week. Action is the blow back with rails and recoil spring. The rails look some what similar to a Winchester model 100. Rails are held in place with two 5/8" nuts. Trigger pins a 1/8" in diameter. Trigger held in place on grove rails similar to the tip off mount rails on top of a 22 receiver. Overall, seems to be a very well made rifle. Quality seems muct better than the Ruger 10/22 .22 mag that I once owned.
