Owning two Hornets I can assure you the are somewhat finicky to reload.
The Ruger Hornets had the wrong twist.
The 22 K Hornet is a far better cartridge as is the new 17 Hornet.
I'd just buy a new low wall, play with it for a bit, then part it out and build the wood and bbl you want.
When you have an action you can put a 600 Nitro in (No. 1) it's just overkill for a light sleek varmint rifle.
