.22 Raging Hornet

[The Feed Man]

Wondering if anyone owns or has fired many rounds through a Taurus .22 Raging Hornet revolver. I have one that was given to me and the thing is so big it is almost ridiculous. It has the 10" barrel. I think it was built on the .454 Casull frame. I do shoot it often and enjoy shooting it for a while but it is very heavy. My question is, what is this pistol worth? I haven't fired that many rounds through it and am thinking of trading/seling it on a more practical handgun.

GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND!!!
What is it these days that nobody checks for themselves? (I'm betting you are under 25 years old) Don't be angry, it's just an observation.

First thing on Google, $662 for a 22H Raging Hornet.

It is big. No matter. They're handy for longer ranges. Use two hands and a rest when you can. Even with open sights you will be surprised how deadly it is on diggers and the like at 70-80 yards. You do need a rest of some kind though. Ground, rocks, pick-up hood, fence, tree, almost anything.

And yes, Google is your friend. But with friendly researchers like ArchAngelCD, who needs it.

No, not built on the Casull frame.

But rather the Raging Bull frame. That is smaller than the Casull frame.

That's a pretty darn nice gift!

I am actually over 30 yrs. old. But I alsoi know that what google says isn't always what people are willing to pay. I prefer to ask actual people who use/buy items what they are paying than rely on a website that just shows what people are asking.


I do enjoy shooting this handgun, I get many looks from it when I get it out to shoot. I am considering a scope. Thanks for the input.

haha.... some interesting semantics involved in that statement. I am willing to pay you up to 25 dollars for that gun. I would pay substantially more, but I wouldn't be anywhere near as willing!

All joking aside, for some reason I have as late become interested in the .22 Hornet in handgun form. I have, and shoot, a smattering of .223's, and the .22 hornet seems to me to be the best compliment to those rifles.
