German Greifelt ZiDi Customized 22 Hornet
Description:
A Hornet with a Story to tell
I just love the 22 Hornet and it's European cousin the 22 Vierling (5.6x35R). When any configuration of a German or Austrian sporting gun has one of these two calibers included, it immediately piques my interest. I have owned numerous "ZiDi" rifles over the years and all were fine rifles in my book, but the one I write about in this article has a very storied history that all adds up to the finest Hornet I have owned to this point.
It's story begins as a Greifelt ZiDi rifle imported by Abercrombie and Fitch in 1937. I have attached a page from the 1937 A&F catalogue that shows the gun as it was originally delivered. This gun was somewhat plain as it came from Greifelt, but early in Its travels it visited the shop at Griffin and Howe and was given the classic Griffin treatments of the day. The gun left the shop with a hooded banded ramp front sight, a barrel band for sling attachment, and a checkered metal butt plate. Also, a G&H scope mount was installed to accommodate a one inch diameter scope. A Lyman peep sight was also installed some time in its early history.
Sometime later the rifle found its way into the skilled hands of gun builder Clayton Nelson. Mr. Nelson selected an exhibition grade English walnut blank and went to work. The stock has dark marbling ahead of the checkered butt plate. The grain then flows straight at the wrist and through the fore end and wears an ebony nose cap. The cheek piece is of European style with a shadow line. The pistol grip and fore end have flawless, 32 lines per inch checkering. What caught my eye when I first saw this gun was the way Mr. Nelson picture framed the stock around the Lyman peep sight and contoured the stock in relationship to each step down in diameter from the action to the barrel and so on. Also, some very tasteful engraving was added by engraver Mike Crumling to accent Mr. Nelson's fine stock work.
This fine gun has been improved and enhanced with each passing decade and qualifies to be a flag ship gun in anyone's collection of fine firearms.
Lastly, an article about this gun was recently published in the German Gun Collectors Association "Waidmannsheil" Magazine. If you are not already a member, it would be worth the investment to join this fine organization!
