I just ordered my first handi in hornet from wallyworld,after four days I got a call saying they were out of stock. I just read the sticky that said to verify the stock status before ordering, am I screwed?

Welcome aboard little bill.
I quess it all depends on how long you mind waiting.  I checked out the Sports South site and they DO show the super lite 22 hornet in stock.  That's a 20" barrel and synthetic stocks.  Maybe someone else could chime in and give you and idea how the Super Lite 22H shoots.  I don't have any experience with that.  Good Luck.

Here is the link I use to SportsSouth
http://www.internetguncatalog.com/

I go to the super search box on the left and scroll down to H&R 1871 and it shows the whole list and their status.  Then you will know when you order from Wally World if it will be on B/O.

There's a fella on RFC named Vincent who bought a Superlight youth hornet for his daughter, says it's extremely accurate, so much so, he loves to shoot it, too!! :grin:

Been thinkin' of going that route myself.  Then sending it off for a 357 barrel.  Would make a great shooter.  I Think!

little bill,
Here is the link to the Wally special order page for the super light  hornet
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3138457
Hope this helps.  Maybe you can cancel and re-order the super light.

I have a superlight hornet it shoots good.

It loves the Winchester black box ammo but I can't afford that stuff so I'm shooting a max load of Lil' gun behind the Hornadt 35-gn vmax, and getting MOA groups. I've prepped the cases by sizing, trimming to min. length and deburring the flash holes.

Good luck!
