There are times when a simple thing done well can be all you need, and the Hornet is just that. It’s a very conventional break-barrel rifle, delivered in a well-shaped synthetic stock that delivers lots of performance for only a little money. The proportions are adult but it’s not too heavy to be used by a fast-growing teenager, so it could be used by the whole family over time. Fully adjustable open sights are fitted as standard, which are ideal for close-range fun and the action is ready to accept a scope when you feel ready to move on. .22 only
