Great cartridge. I have three: A BSA Model 15 converted to centerfire and rechambered, a custom Springfield 1922 converted to centerfire and a Thompson Center Contender.
But if you're looking for an old-time varmint cartridge, don't fail to consider the .219 Zipper, the .25-35 (with lighter weight bullets), the .25-20s or even some of the older rook cartridges.
Browning made its Lo-Wall in .22 Hornet for a while and you might be able to pick one of those up for less than 25% of what the WR is priced.
That being said, it's one extremely nice rifle and I'd love to find it inside my vault.
Thanks for your comments 40X---I had a 40X in 222 Rem that I shot for years.
I should have mentioned that my preference is an English rifle---I have a weakness for side-by-sides, so why not splurge and get an English "rook" rifle.
