    Very nice offer, and I'll put my hat in the ring!
    I have a Handi-rifle chambered in 22 hornet. So far, the only thing it has fired projectiles at, is paper. I'm hoping that I can take it out this spring, and let the grandkids try for a whistlepig or two.

    Merry Christmas!

    Very thoughtful of you to make this offer! My 22 Hornet launchers include a TC Contender 10" bull barrel, a Ruger No. 3 rifle and a Winchester Model 54 with a Unertl 4X scope. Primary uses are for recreational shooting and ground squirrels. Thanks for the opportunity to participate.

    Baja Traveler,

    Very generous of you, I'll also throw my hat in the ring. I just acquired a real nice single shot w/26" barrel, Sav 219c, 22-H, haven't fired it yet, mounted a Lupi 2X7 on it yesterday, as it has groves like most 22's. There are several models, I don't believe the 219b had groves? They also made it in, 25-20, 32-20, 30-30 and I think a couple of shotgun barrels. I think all are interchangeable? Started Mfg in 1937 or 8, till, into the60's? Anyway, I have acquired some accessories, but still looking for more and can't wait to sight it in and put it to good use!

    Thanks for the chance, good luck to all, if I should not be the lucky one. I wish for "obssd1958" to WIN!

    Merry Christmas, Mac

    Thanks for the opportunity to talk about the Hornet. I bought a handi-rifle from a member here and after putting a few rounds on paper, I took my grandson on his first deer hunt. The 22 hornet is legal in Oklahoma with 50 grain bullets. He shot a nice 10 pointer that dropped in its tracks. What a memory for both of us! Please put me in the lottery. Caliboose

    I have a, believe 60's era, Walther KKJ in 22 Hornet, that has a really neat, overly engineered, one piece detachable scope mount........so, I shoot it with the factory sights at 50 yards at paper, don't really hunt much anymore. Thanks for your offering - Merry Christmas! Bill in MA

    Such a gracious offer. My 22 hornet is my TC contender with the old style octagon barrel. The only things we shoot with it are paper targets. My kids love the low recoil and the cougar on the side of the gun.

    I will shoot it in my ruger no 3 in 22 K-Hornet.
    Probably just target shooting.
    New brass fire forms better than used brass.
    Thank you
    Thanks

    I have a custom barreled Ruger No.1 by Goodsteel (Malcolm Ballistic Tool), it is a death ray for jackrabbits.

    Baja, thanks for this kind gesture! I have an H&R break open single shot in .22 Hornet. Bought it in '73 when my wife told me she was pregnant with our son (don't ask me how she knew the baby would be a boy!). This was the first center fire rifle he ever shot. We took a number of Whitetail deer in the pasture behind our house with the Hornet (small, Central Texas deer) after he learned to shoot it when he was 5 years old. Son's daughter turned 5 in Sept. I would use this brass to load ammo for my Granddaughter to use on ground squirrels in interior Alaska when we go on our annual camping trip next Summer!

    I'll jump in also. No 22 Hornet in the cabinet so I will put them into permanent retirement as part of the ARTCA archive collection.

    I'm sure my brother would have got him by now except for the fact that he starts grumbling the moment he sees the critter. I would love to put a sneak on him...(the groundhog not my brother).

    Price tag looks like $5.24 for each box.
