BSA Martini actions can be re-chambered to .22 Hornet. I have even seen them re-barrel to .17 rem.

Well within the skills of a competent rifle smithSmile

RE: Concentrating My Efforts.
.22mag ammo a bit pricey but not to bad...yeah the brno zkm611 is the rifle i was talking about as they no longer chamber the 10/22 in magnum anymore. ideally .22lr for stocking the larder and .22mag autoloader for defending it. may just pop along to my local gunclub for an application form.
Nothing is fool proof for a sufficiently talented fool!!!!

So if you factor in the "loss" of the 22mag it's probably twice the price of buying a decent Hornet.
