A very handsome rifle but I just don't think I need a .22 hornet. It kinda makes me wish I did need one though.

Ha! Ditto. It would be cool if the Hornet made a huge comeback.

Beautiful! It looks like a scaled down version of my Rigby, and way easier on the shoulder.
Hmmm…I have Hornet dies and a small pile of brass without a rifle in that caliber.
That look/weight would be a lot harder to resist if it were a 1 in 8” twist .223.
I really like the concept of the 22 Hornet, filling the "gap" between 22 mag and .223/5.56.
However, if you're not going to reload for it, who's turning out factory 22 Hornet loads these days?
Prvi Partizan's 45 gr load is all I'm seeing, and that's not much of a selection.
That screams for a .22 K-Hornet reamer.
That's cool. One of my most prized guns is a 40+ year old Savage bolt gun in 22 Hornet with one of the old 1 3/4-5 Redfield wideview scopes. It was always my dad's favorite gun and the first rifle I remember shooting.
I’m a sucker for the look of an express-y rifle. That said, I can’t see a use for .22 hornet either. I’d be lying if I said that I’d never considered the 77/357. I probably consider that gun annually. An African express-y .357 would get my tail wagging, because, well just because.

Agreed. I love the ye olde kaliburs, especially small bores like the Hornet but this would have to be a "This money is burning a hole in my pocket and I must impulse buy something right now" purchase. I don't even need a 77/357 but at least .357 is a caliber I keep on hand.
