RE: .22 hornet
I have 2 k-Hornets, both built on martini actions. One is a heavy bench rifle and the other is a small light sporter. Both are extremely accurate and are deadly out to 200 yds. I have taken everything from beaver to fox with no problems. If you live near a city or town, it's a quiet rifle to shoot.
Take it out and try it on varmints, i think you will enjoy it.
