It's a nice, basic utility shotgun. Been around a very long time and still in business as H&R 1871 (owned now by Remington). Solid, reliable, no frills. I had one and it was a good little squirrel getter. My Walmart has the 12 gauge Pardner for $117. The 410, new, would be a little more.
good guns and you can send it in to the factory and they will fit other barrels to it. I forget if you can get rifle barrels on the shotgun frame or not.
I haven't shot one but I've came close to buying a pardoner turkey gun but bought a Stevens instead. Only thing that sold me on the Stevens was it's 36 inch barrel. But the pardoner seems to be a very nice gun. I have a New England rifle and I really like it, excellent gun.
