If you were going to buy a 22 hornet what rifle would you look for. I think I want one to go along with my super grade model 70 super grade that I inherited from my great grandad If you have one that might be for sale let me know but the main reason for this is to get recommendations on a good choice for my next hornet Thanks in advance

Krico Sako Brno Anschutz Walther
Unless you have set your heart on something new. I personally went with Brno ZKW 465.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

I'd track down a CZ527 while I still could.

I’ll second the BRNO ZKW 465. I regret selling mine terribly. The finest hornet I’ve ever handled!

I was browsing Gun Broker the other day for .22 Hornets (I don’t know why lol)- there were a lot of Ruger 77’s in .22 Hornet, they aren’t cheap but I was always curious about those.
Heal quickly and don't scar.

Every one I've ever seen or used has been very accurate, including the one I own, and they are very nicely made. I won't part with mine. Sako L46 is another nice one, of much the same vintage. I'd also have a CZ, Anschuetz or Walther.

I have a heavy barreled Anschutz that is fantastic. If you can find one, they are worth it.
As a second Hornet, a CZ would be my next as they are very accurate. I wouldn’t turn down a good Sako if it was a deal.

I’ve owned a Ruger and won’t own another. Couldn’t get a 4” group at 100 yards with it. Went through all the typical moves to help it and never could improve it Sold it to a buddy of mine who had to have it and thought he would hand load it into tighter groups.... didn’t happen. He sold it after tinkering with it for a year best group was 2”. And in my mind on this caliber it’s unacceptable

Handles beautifully, nice walnut stock, excellent trigger, smooth bolt, and an absolute tackdriver. Worth the wait and the online search to find

CZ527 . Not the prettiest of the lot listed but they sure do shoot. Case full of Lil' Gun and a CCI Small Rifle Mag primer ( hat tip to Mule Deer ) will get you 3000 fps+ and fine accuracy.

Never owned one of the Ruger’s but most people I know that have on them usually did quite a bit to make them shoot very well, my vote is for CZ 527 extremely well-built and great shooters right out of the box

A single shot allows you to use pointy bullets like the 40gr VMax and BTs without reducing powder space. I’ve had a Browning LW for over 20 years, and it’s a peach. Mule Deer used a Ruger No.1 for years, then sold it for some reason, now he’s back in the game with some old bolt-action after deciding he couldn’t be happy without one. They are very useful and there’s something very compelling about those tiny cartridges. Very thrifty too; 9-13gr of powder and SP primers for most powders except Lil Gun, which gets CCI 450s.
M70s are way out of my comfort zone price-wise, but I get the idea of having a match for your SG. My notion is that a small-bore should be well, small.
What fresh Hell is this?

CZ's are pieces of fhuqking schit. There's nothing redeeming in Winchester turnbolts. I've had Numbah Ones in KHorn and they are an easy pass too. I prefer B-78's to Numbah Ones,but no thanks in said chambering. Ruger 77's for me. Hint. My Favoritest 22LR's,ain't upon the smallest receiver. Hint. My Winchester KHorn in the MacaMillion wearing a Shilen spout,is a piece of fhuqking schit,compared to my 77's chambered same. Hint....................

Winchester M70 or M54 .22 Hornet. In my case I went with the M54. Call me loony, but I like the M54 best and it shoots like nobody's business.
