If you're meant to have it, it will come to you.
I had wanted a drilling for over 30 years but, being a lefty, hadn't ever seen one with the stock set up for a lefty. Then one showed up. And now it's mine.

I have to say I really like the idea of the .22 Hornet for turkeys, coyotes and similar game. Enough to reach out and take the game, but not so much as to destroy it. The 5.6x57, which is more than a 220 Swift, seems a bit of overkill for turkeys.

Side note: I had my hands on a copy of the 1948 Gun Digest borrowed from my gun club's library. It's a book all of 3/8 inches thick. Fun reading - they couldn't say enough nice things about the .220 Swift - at the time it was the hottest cartridge going. (The .222, .223. 243, .308, belted magnums hadn't been invented yet. Nor had the Remington 700 series.) But it's too darn hot other than for varmints.

This past winter I tried to push a friend who's a legislator here to introduce a bill to allow using light rifles for turkeys (we're limited to shotguns) in the fall season, like is the case for you in PA. There were a lot more pressing items on the agenda and I was talked out of spending time on my idea.

DaveinMaine,

I know if it's meant to be it will happen, however I am trying give it a little nudge in the affirmative direction. I probably should not have been looking till the house sold, but the itch got the better of me. Been a year and the old house still sits there without an offer. Nice old house too.

I agree the .22 Hornet is a decent rifle for the J.P. Sauer 16 Drilling that I am interested in purchasing, and the gun only weighs about 6 Lb 10 Oz, even with the sleeve work. It would be real nice to carry in the Grouse woods for sure. I have a 20/28 Combo gun that weights just about the same and this 16 Drilling is a lot better gun.

Glad you found your lefty Drilling, I know they are real tough to find!
