We need Rocky Raab to do some talking about the Browning Hornet he has, and it's accuracy.
Reading his writings got me to buy a lower priced version of his, mainly because Browning doesn't make the model he has. Mine is the Huntsman, and it is far and away the most accurate out of the box Hornet I've owned. It's well made, and it's balance is superb. I have one CZ 527, 223 now, and sold one in 222. I consider The Browning Huntsman Hornet superior to the CZ 527's.
I also have a Winchester Model 54 Hornet, and a Ruger 77/Hornet that comes VERY close to the accuracy of the Huntsman. Accuracy of a Hornet for me is 3 shots in a 1/2" groups at 100 yards. The Huntsman did that my first range session, after sighting it in. It took a bunch of tweaking, and load work to get the Ruger/77 Hornet dialed in, but it now shooots close to the Huntsman's accuracy.
I had a Ruger No.1 Hornet and a Savage 219 circa 1950, so I have some Hornet time at the wheel.
