built one on a Remington 591 with a shilen barrel, nice light weight rifle, fun to shoot PITA to load, just make sure you wet tumble all the lacquer off the case, gum up your dies
I've read (over a Saubier.com I believe) guys using the Remington 580 (single-shot bolt-action 22LR) to build 22 Hornets. Would have to be converted from rimfire to centerfire firing pin.
I too was excited when RIA came out with their 22 TCM rifle, the accuracy in the reviews I saw was disheartening at best.
Without the ability to reload I too would probably just opt for a 22 Magnum. But with reloading in the mix you have a lot of options for bullets and can tune your load for what you want to do... edible game, coyotes, rodents, accuracy, etc.
