I still have it in my mind that I want a 25 Hornet. I see Chiappa has the mini Sharps in 22 Hornet, so it would be just a barrel swap. So, does anybody here have one? Are they worth having ?

Have a Lyman/Chiappa 22 Hornet. Had two issues I didn’t care for: Rear sight leaned to the right preventing proper sight in ( corrected by fileing base of sight, now spot on) #2 issue is top of lands has button chatter and is a little rough. Might fire lap or just shoot to break in. Wood on mine is excellent, great trigger, and a tight chamber although throat is too long. Very nice rifle that I like very much.
Just purchased one in .218 Bee, but have not loaded any cartridges for it yet. My only complaint is the size of the lever and size and spacing of the set triggers.
Very tight fit if you have big fingers.
∆∆∆ THIS. I so wanted a "mini Sharps" in 38-55, but even with medium sized hands and fingers I could not comfortably get a trigger finger inserted in the trigger guard to either set the trigger or trip it. Thought about modding the lockwork to single trigger but didn't want/need another project.
