.22 Hornet

[Dom]

Does anyone have one they would like to sell/trade?I would like an older model these newer ones just look like crap to myself and the price tag is rediculous.

Geeze, Dom, you're about a month too late..

A friend of mine had a pre-64 Winchester M70 in .22 hornet..

It was in very good condition, but had a couple of non factory holes drilled/tapped which negatively affected its collector value..It was a fine shooter, though..He sold it for around $700, give or take 50...A great value for the price...No way would you you find a modern rifle of that quality for that price.

I think the Ruger M77/22 Hornet is a rifle of great quality and accuracy.  With the laminated stock and grey metal finish on the bull barrel, it's a winner as far as I'm concerned.  I believe it wouldn't be too difficult to find a nice used one online somewhere.

Here's one in Dresden, NY

My dad owned a .22 Hornet, until thieves broke into his home...wished I knew the make, but had to be from the late 50's early 60's. Some a-hole is using it somewhere.

Dom, have you checked the auction sites like gunbroker.com. I have found a lot of good ones on

there as well as gunsamerica. Good luck.

It might help if you started a new thread about this.  You'd get more replies.

I had one that was better used as a tomato stake., thing was horrendous. I could throw rocks more accurately. Not saying they're all that bad but let's say mine was a fluke, how's it possible it ever got that bad. I'd never try one again. Kept it for a year n tried tons of loads n reloads on it. Thing was bad

I have one in 22 magnum and it will do one ragged hole at 50 yards all day long with a variety of different ammo.  Was your's used when you bought it?

I have the Ruger   77/22 in 22 hornet.  Very accurate gun.  Dad has even taken many deer with it with head and neck shots. I use it for Coyotes and have dropped several with it.

[Mr VJP]

Every Ruger M77/22 Hornet I ever saw in the laminated stock version with the grey metal finish was totally accurate.  The same applies to any Ruger rifle, in any chambering in that configuration.  Perhaps he had a bad scope.  If not, it should have been returned to Ruger to be checked out.

I picked up a Savage 219 single shot a couple years ago with the 22 Hornet barrel.  I got it punching quarter size holes at 100 yards.  I've taken it out calling for fox but unsuccessful with it so far.  Trial... what kind of rounds you have where you located and what you looking to get for them?

I have a nifty little .22 Hornet Winchester. It's a pretty little guy that I keep around for sentimental reasons (used to belong to my father). However, it sits in the cabinet, and never gets used except once in a while I take it out for target practice. I have been trying to figure out what it really is suitable to kill. I have a .223 for varmints, a .270 for deer, a .22 for squirrels ....... everything seems to be covered, leaving the Hornet not really doing anything that the rest of the guns don't do better.

 

So, for you fans of the .22 hornet, other than target practice, what do you use it for?

[Pygmy]

Doc, is your hornet a Model 43 ?...

[philoshop]

I had a lot of fun with the hornet on my contender many years ago, but I switched to the .221 fireball and never looked back.

[Yotehntr]

Doc .... Great Fox gun doesn't tear he hides up from what I have seen from others.
