On a Hornet I'm surprised that the little Leupold isn't adequate. I have one on my Sako vixen and it is the cats azz for out to 300 yards. I doubt you'll find much that will look right on the rifle and give you much improvement.. Mine is sharp and clear.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Make mine a Minaska

i have an diamond back HP 2-8x 32. It isn't very large but i think gives a good sight picture. They were discontinued a while back but were marked down pretty cheap. I think i paid $150. Ended up liking it so much i wish i got a 4-16 for my 223. Luckily i found one a few months ago

This model has an adjustable parallax so if you are shooting under 50 yards or past 100 you can adjust it as needed. Sometime i shoot at a 25 meter range so it is nice i can dial it down

You can still find them from time to time

my 22 Hornet Ruger has a 3x9 Leupold on this rifle but i am thinking about rescoping this rifle with a illuminated scope because i have to kill critters in the dark out in the country plenty at my home . this rifle has turned into my killer rifle , sits by a window in the garage all year long and has just a little more punch over my 22 mag.

[b][/b]Though I don't have any experience with them, the SWFA ultralight 2.5-10x32 rimfire scope looks very good for this application. Those SWFA aficionados can reply with experience. I am sure looking at one for a lightweight setup I am putting together.

I don't think Leupold is making them any longer, but the VX-3 2.5X8 is purt near perfect as far as I can tell. Last fall any prairie dog within 300 yards got a nasty surprise with that combination.
