22 Hornet discontinued?
« on: March 12, 2012, 06:20:04 AM »
I'm not seeing the 22 Hornet in the 2012 catalog.  Is the Hornet now accessory barrel only?

The Hornet has been discontinued before, so it's not surprising it's MIA again.  :-\

Could be an error in catalog also.  It's still shown on this page of the webpage under the synthetic.

There's no H&R 22 Hornet caliber listing on Davidison's Gun Genie, that's a bad sign.  :(

You have to be kidding me?? That is un.....believable!Probably the best, most practical caliber they had, that and the 30/30. Oh well. I had better go see what is left.

I was on a notification list for able ammo when hornets would be back in stock and received that email approximately 2 weeks ago. Give them a try if you cant find one elsewhere.

It is the volume of new gun sales in calibers that move that factories are catering to. Look what is selling (and has been selling for some time) at shops and gun shows. We may get lucky and they will make enough money to stay profitable and still run off a few 'special interest calibers' from time to time, or even have a few barrels on hand that dont justify being cataloged.
