Vapodog,

I wonder if dale06's 77/22 Hornet was an early one without the hammer forged barrel like they have now?

I can't speak to the 77/22 Hornet, but the 77/22 lr I had was very accurate and the trigger was acceptable. Not in the same league as my Browning Micro Medallion .22 Hornet, but it can be remedied.

There are a bunch of .22 Hornet afficionados that lurk on both the "Ask the Gunwriters" and "Varmint Rifle Reloading" forums here. Maybe post your question on those forums and see what kind of responses you get.

All the best in your search!
