I need to have the firing pin hole bushed on a break-open Savage Hornet. Any suggestions on a gunsmith who does this? Greg Tannel doesn't do this type action, only bolts. Suggestions appreciated.

  I would think any good gunsmith could do the work. But these days of liability most will likely pass it buy. You might consider stepping the firing pin to fit.
  
  The first high speed 22 center fire we had as a kid was a Savage in 22 Hornet. Bubba had worked on it and it was a bear to open and had a terrible trigger. Next was a 99 in Hi-power. Much better but .228 bullets were never bargain's.

  Keep looking and making calls.
  It's no big deal for a gunsmith who's experienced with machine tools.
  Don't mess with stepping down a firing pin while keeping the hole sized for a shotgun firing pin.
  The centerfire firing pin should be 5/64" diameter.
