Definitely my kind of project. For me personally, any rifle, no matter how nice or accurate it might have been, that weighed more than about 8 lbs, eventually went down the road. I’m just a svelt sporter guy. So, for me, I always lean toward lighter, livelier, and more dynamic handling. I’ve owned quite a number of heavier Hornets, but they just don’t seem to match the petite little round. Now, the M54/M70, the Hornet’s original home, is not the best fit either, but it is cool and functions very well.

I would use the lightest possible barrel with a sleek, slender stock. Whatever you do, though, go with a 1:12” or quicker twist, to handle to much longer plastic-tipped bullets.
