Goat , when I first got interested in the hornet I ordered a 77-22H when they were first introduced. It never came . After 6 months I ordered my Contender Carbine. Still want the 77 and have wanted a Handy for at least 10 years . Might get a barrel for my Handy in hornet. At some point I want all the American made hornets ( including the Savage 25 ; I got the Savage 40 about 5 years ago on a close out at Sportsman's) .
