    It could be a Topper. My Dad had a Topper that started life as a .22 Hornet and somewhere along the way got re-chambered to a .219 Zipper. I wish I knew what happened to the gun.

    edit: Thinking back, it was not a Topper but, a Stevens.

    BTW are you sure the .22 Hornet is a Topper?....that name was used for the shot gun offerings, although there were combo's sold in the '50 and '60,..... like 12 ga/30-30 under the Topper name still looking for one for my small collection.
    No worries, just curious......

    Want to sell it?
    I have had this H&R combo since about 1976. The barrels are all marked H&R Topper Model 158. I have a 20 gauge barrel, a 30 WCF barrel, and the 22 Hornet barrel. No it is not for sale! :-) It is my "starter gun" for center fires with young people. You know, the whole you can see the hammer and know what condition the rifle/shotgun is in and also very controlled being a single shot that you actually have to cock before you shoot it. The 30 30 barrel is really very accurate and so is the 22 Hornet. I have actually shot a better 10 shot group off a bench with that rifle and iron sights at 100 yards than almost any other rifle I have ever shot.
