Great looking rifle, a twin to mine! grin

You should expect it to be every bit as accurate as your CZ. They do, in fact, have a .224 groove diameter barrel, not the .223 of the original Hornets. Mine loves anything up to 50gr bullets with 40gr and 45gr shooting the best. That said, the 35gr VMax is very, very close, and makes a bigger impact upon those varmints I have shot with them than the 45gr bullets.

No, they are 1-16 twist, .2235 groove. So were the repro Low Walls per Browning/Miroku.

A barrel slug will verify this, as will the original specs from Browning.


From what I read today with that bore (.2235) that either .223 or .224 bullets should shoot well in this. I also found out today that the CZ has the same bore diameter of .2235 and my CZ shoots .224 diameter bullets very well. Just guessing but I'm thinking that they did the bore sizing in between (1/2 size) so that you could shoot either one....Thanks for the info.
