I've been a fan of these for a while. My .22 Hornet is my favorite squirrel rifle, have a really nice one in .30-30 as well, but it is unmolested and I won't drill holes in it so it will only be as good as I can shoot the open sights.
Seems these are getting harder to find and expensive when you do. Went shopping with the wife and visited a LGS and there sat a .30-30 one cheap. It has a hardwood stock rather than the nice walnut of my other two, and I'm thinking the forend is a 20 gauge shotgun forend but seems to fit well enough, not as slender as my others, but OK. Best of all, this one had already been drilled and tapped for one of the side mounts so I can scope it, and I have several old Weavers around that will look right.
I'm pretty pumped about finding this. Got the bore soaking with some Ed's Red and it looks like it's cleaning up real nice. I need to put a primed case in it and make sure it doesn't have a broken firing pin which is a common problem for these. I really need to not do the impulse gun purchases like that, but couldn't pass this one up.
