Lefty hornet
Is an 1885 22 hornet a possibility? Browning and Winchester made them in recent years. It works for lefty’s. They show up on GunBroker and other sites pretty often. They run $1800 or more.

I have given this conundrum a lot of thought over the years and if I had my way what we would see would be a $650 highly accurate five lb 17 Hornet on the dealer’s racks. What I would propose would be based off of a very, very slightly scaled up Remington 541s offered in single shot and repeater configuration, with the possibility of offering a heavy barreled Varmint variation as well. I have two nice 580 single shot actions and a couple of the deluxe stocks sitting in my safe as well as a couple ziplock bags of triggers and am about to get going on building one each in 17 and 20 Garin. I have had a project planned to build a 580 in 17 Ackley Pee Wee for the last twenty-five years, but the Garin opportunity came available that is going to alleviate a lot of the expense of commissioning custom tooling. Mox nix, there isn’t 2¢ difference in the Ackley and Garin version of the 17 caliber based on 30 carbine. The second one in 20 caliber is just because I have forming and loading dies sitting here and a lot of the difficulty in these projects is in the setup. Since I have another action and stock sitting here, I figured I might as well put together one of each. I wish you luck in locating what you are looking for, between you and I, I wouldn’t touch that deal you posted about with a 20 foot pole. There is not much about it that doesn’t smack of it being a scam. I know two people who have been skinned alive on Rolex watch scams and both went down just as you are describing.
