    .22 TCM nah...
    Jezz, this is difficult. I would have said the .22 PPC, but it has double the case capacity of the hornet.
    I give up.

    The Lion red goes to @Hermitage, .22tcm

    Cheap to run, no recoil and plenty enough grunt for 100m

    Poison/mother's milk, potato/patato

    Ill post loads of images when I get it in my hands. He usually makes them RH feed LH eject, I got Ian to make mine RH port only, as ill be using a sling etc so will need to drop rounds in. From what i understand its a take on a Barnard, with improvements, and a nitride? finish. 3 lug bolt, super quick lock time.

    Cheers for that @Larrygoat but I stopped drinking in my 20's (over 20 years ago), so please enjoy the Lion Red on me

    Here are a few photos of the Tri-May action for those who are interested:
