Hornet Dream Rifle
For the sake of discussion, what would comprise your Hornet dream rifle - action, stock, barrel, trigger, etc.

I see ansuchltz are making them. In 17 and .22 hornet. And 4.6x30 on 1771 model.
As much as I like cooper, and ruger single shots. A bolt repeater, is much more deseriable, for a small game hunting rifle. So I'd like to try a 1771 |

I have my dream 22 hornet, actually two of them.
Got the heavy barrel 1730 anschutz in late 90s. Have shot a truck load of PDs with it. Bought the same gun with sporter barrel, about five years ago. Have not shot it near as much, but have dropped three called coyotes with it. Both of these are very accurate 22 hornets, easy sub 3/4”. Previously I’ve had a Browning A bolt and a Kimber 82. Both were nice guns and nearly as accurate as the Anschutz. Also had a Ruger 77/22 hornet, it was poor in the accuracy department. Forgot, had a Ruger #1 also, marginal accuracy.

Don't have a 'dream' Hornet, but I like the Hornet so much I have four of them, a Ruger No.3, a Kimber M82, Cooper M38 Classic and a CZ527 American. The Kimber, Cooper and CZ all are under 0.5 inch for 5 at 100 yds with 40gr VMAX and W296.

Mine's not quite a dream gun but oughtta be very utilitarian for it's purpose--a Savage Striker pistol 17 Hornet with a Shilen 8T at 18". Probably gonna put an old 10X Burris on top maybe, but may use a 3-12 instead. For prairie dogs.

I liked my 1885 enough but I wasn't that enthused with 22 Hornet, well mine was a 1.25" shooter at best.
Got a Contender 20" barrel in 17K Hornet and really liked it. You know how it is huh??, man I have forgotten half the rifles I've owned. I never had the money to keep them all so I'd trade them in or sell them to try something else out. I settled on 20 caliber as my go-to, and only have a few varmint rifles left. Dream rifle??? I guess a BAT action single shot drop port in one of those beautiful high grade AAA laminated hard wood stocks with fiddleback maple on one side of the stock and red walnut on the other side of the stock lol, maybe some carbon fiber laminated in the middle for stability. But sorry, 22 Hornet wouldn't be on the list of cartridge choices. |

Have three KoO Hornets, Contender Hornets, and a few Ruger 77/22 Hornets. If I were to pick something that I don't have or have ownerd I would pick a Browning A-Bolt Micro Medallion in 22 Hornet. I like the lines and the flush magazine. For hunting my choice would be one of my Ruger Hornets. Gasp!! I think the rifles have descent lines and I really like the flush magazine even if it makes the bottom of the rifle a little boxey. The 24" medium heavy barreled rifle has been reworked by CPC and is a solid 1/2MOA shooter with a 40gr. Nosler Varmitgeddon at almost 3200 fps when I do my part. I lucked into a Ruger Hornet in sporter configuration that actually shoots quite well. 1 MOA accuracy might not turn accuracy heads, but in most field conditions I'm the limiting factor
