1. Hey All! Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board. They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things. The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to. DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES! They often state something like this: ”Hello! Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]” If you receive any strange messages: Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not. Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out! Beware of anything that might seem fishy! And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our! All the best! And be safe! Jim

    At $300 for the Hornet and whatever else came with it, your probably in it for about 10% of the the total value. Depending greatly upon your rifles condition of course.
    With the money you saved you can now easily afford the price of ammunition and travel expenses to find it. I recently spoke with a Cabelas associate about the scarcity of 22 Hornet ammo..his answer was that they are no longer carrying out of date or obsolete cartridges???WTF!

    Call Hornaday and see when they will be making there next run of them. Then ask which dealers will be getting them.

    I bought 5 boxes of PPU .22 Hornet 45 grain soft point online recently & is currently available. We use for predators & they fall not knowing the brand. Also found more Hornet ammo a few months ago at a gun store in Remington Accutip 35 Grain but pricey as $15-$20 higher than PPU & bought all they had.
    Buy it when you find it as 2-3 years ago it was readily available

    .22 Hornet readily 'available' over here. That is, many online stores have it in their catalog often by Sellier & Bellot and Hornady and some RWS.
    Most often the Sellier & Bellot is in stock and the others are 'awaiting delivery'
