Confused about Hornet production?
« on: November 08, 2010, 05:34:16 AM »
After a search I'm confused, not unusual.  Is the 22 Hornet back in regular production?  Threads from earlier this year note it was discontinued in 2008.  The website notes a current model in a synthetic stock with open sights.  Forum members keep talking about buying new rifles! Any words of wisdom out there?

It was discontinued, but after Remington bought H&R/Marlin in Jan 2008, they started making them again,  all 1:9" twist.

Thanks,
I lost interest in Handi's because all I wanted was a hornet.  That twist suits me fine as I want to play with lead cast bullets that are slow but heavy.

I had my dealer order me a 22 hornet and it arrived today, made in Illion NY.

 Bob,

  Are you casting your own or buying them? I have a Lee bator mould but it only throws about a 46 grain GC slug. I was looking for something heavier when I found that but it was all I could get at the time.
