I was at a local gunshow the other day. A guy had an older Model 70 that started as a 22 Hornet then was rechambered to a 22-3000, also marked on the barrel. The price was still up there, asking $1400-1500 or so. It was in decent shape.
The seller was bragging up the cartridge some, faster than 22 Hornet & all.
I looked up ballistics when I got home, skimming through it doesn’t seem much more than a Hornet. The real kicker is ammo is about nonexistent, at least without extreme gyrations.
Anyhoo, not really interested, but it did seem like an interesting rifle. What would one do with such a rifle? Could it be rechambered into something else without to much trouble? I’d rather it still be in 22 Hornet. I think it will be for sale for a while yet.
