Yes, Encore's are great rifles. I personally do not have, nor have I shot one with a .22 Hornet barrel, but I can tell you that of the calibers I have, I have been very impressed.
The .22 Hornet is a very low recoiling caliber good for any coyote sized and smaller game out to about 250 yards, assuming you do your job!

I have 4 Encores, and they are great rifles. I have never dealt with a 22 hornet as I have no use for such, but it should be extremely low recoil. As far as pricing, you can look for yourself on Gunbroker.com or AuctionArms.com.

Think that you can order an Encore with a rifle barrel for about $500-525 from Wal-Mart. Extra barrels run about $200-275 each. i love the .22 Hornet mainly because it is so cheap to reload. Most of my loads use 9.5 to 11 grains of 2400.Hornets can sometimes be a little finicky and it takes a little while to find out what load the individual gun likes.

CVA makes an Encore like gun with interchangable barrels. Its costs a good bit less. If you dont want to spend a bunch then look at the HR single shots for less then 300$
The 22Hornet isa fun round but I'd lean toward a 223 if you just want something cheap to shoot with low recoil for yotes.
