I'm going to start by saying I like classic rounds and classic rifles. That's why I'm not considering a different round.

I have a Winchester 54 22 Hornet complete action laying around that needs completing. So far I've considered going with a factory target contour barrel and either a marksman style target stock or maybe a slimmer factory stock that I can hog out and make look like a M70 sniper rifle. However, that target barrel might be a little excessive for the hornet, and it's going to weigh a ton.

The other option is a Douglas #5 contour. Heavy, but with a sporter profile to knock some excess weight off. I could see this in a nice sporter stock as well.

Then I've got to figure if I'm going to get the bolt bent so I can use a modern scope mount, or if I should stick with unertl style mounts.

What would you do? Any recommendations?
