I like H&R and NEF single-shots. Don't currently have one, but I like them because of their utilitarian and affordable nature. And the single-shot break-action scattergun is quintessentially American ... did you ever look at a lot of old photographs of hunters? There were a lot of them around ... and lots of them are still around.
I saw one the other day with a 32" barrel ... and the only marking on it was Long Tom ... I've seen two others. Don't know any more about them.
I'm glad Marlin bought Harrington and Richardson ... may the old "Topper / Pardner" long endure! They're nearly indestructible, anyway. I'm sure you could stick one in a tree crotch and bend the tube ... wouldn't advise it, though!
