I bought mine in about '92-93.
When I first got it, with factory ammo, it shot a solid 2" @100, so nothing to write home about.
Then I added a Timney spring/sear kit, which helped accuracy.
What really pulled the accuracy together was LilGun powder and small pistol primers, with neck sizing provided by a Lee Collett Die.
Now, it is easily an MOA, or a bit better, rifle, and that is with my coyote load using a 45gr Barnes XLC.
My buddy bought the same model, the 20" barrel sporter, and it shoots like mine with the same load. We also added the Timney kit to it.
My guess (based on plenty of experience with various .22 Hornets) is it would shoot even better with CCI 450s, or maybe Remington 7-1/2s. The "small pistol primer" trick with .22 Hornets primarily works with faster-burning powders.
