You would would gain another short term new toy. Than again, why not?? You might next try a 22 Rem Jet, rim AND rimeless in a Ruger number one. roger

In a rifle it would amount to a modernized Hornet. Not a bad round, with the advantage of heavier, longer lasting brass and no rim. Put it in a sub-mini centerfire action like a Kimber 82 and you'd have a little beauty. Or, a reworked Ruger 77/22H action with a custom barrel would also work.

Savage listed it as a caliber for their varmint series rifle.... don't remember the model number. same as the Hornet, 17 hornet and such. It seemed to have been dropped before I made up my mind to get one.

A bang about Mod. 340. would seem to fit. roger

Savage ran it in their model 25 varmint bolt action rifles for awhile. A short light carbine bolt action would work pretty well for a bounce around the truck, UTV, or ATV rifle. The only complaint I ever read on it is it can be real finicky for reloading.
