The Hornet is pretty dated as a chambering now, long since supersceded by flatter and farther shooting .223 etc. If it was a Walther or an Anschutz, then it'd be a nice quality bit of kit in an interesting old chambering and might add value to a collection, but a Slaza from Aussie? I think not. If you don't already have a .223 and want a knock-about oldie for the odd hare out to 150m, go for it, but like anything else, it will still need good glass on top.
Just my tuppence....
