This is one of mine - a 22 K-Hornet. It was reamed out by Ellwood Epps' grandson for me. I called this my "tactical" Hornet because I put a bipod and cheek piece on it for a picture shoot. Here's another clearer picture, before it became tactical. laugh I had a 3-10 Bushnell on it, but changed to a 2-7 Burris.

The K-Hornet and 40 grain VMaxes take everything from vermin up to coyotes for me.

If you are unfamiliar with the design, it's an inexpensive New England Firearms single shot that started as a 22 Hornet, with an odd (for a hornet) 1 in 12 twist. It came out of the factory that way. It stabilizes 55 grain bullets at slower speeds.

Does anyone shoot any of the old timers? The Hornets, Bees, Wasps or another? 220 Swift, 225 Win?

Some K-Hornet brass.

Love my older CZ .22 Hornet! Wish I had a .218 Bee lever gun - maybe someday.

You bet! That is a sweet looking rifle! They are about $1400 around here, when available. I'd love to get one.

That's a cool cartridge as well. Is brass hard to come by?

I have one of those in 44 Rem Mag. Lots of fun, it has become a favourite of mine.
My small fry guns are a Ruger American in 22-250, and a 10/22 from 1972 or 73.
Plenty of fun to shoot!

In the .22 calibre field it isn't a small fry but I have a .220 Swift (well you asked). I got it when Remington made it as a limited production Classic, in 1982 I believe. It is the oldest gun I have ever purchased and still retain.

.17 FB, Cooper single shot varmint weight is the smallest CF rifle I own. Neat little cartridge that will go 4,000 fps with a 20 gr bullet utilizing 20 grs of powder.

Am I the only one shooting the wildly popular Westley Richards Cadet in the cutting edge 8mm/.310 Greener?


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Hornady makes it and in normal times, it’s relatively available.

How about a 45 Colt in a Rossi Ranch Hand shooting 255 grain home cast SWC with a light load of Trail Boss that gives me 575 ft per sec. Also works in my Ruger Vaquero.

I think we will have a harder time finding it up here.

I put a scope on another small fry this morning. This is a T3 HB in 222 Rem. The scope is a 6-24 Elite 4200. As you can see, it weighs close to 11 pounds.

I should hope they’d allow it!

Without you and your kinfolk crossing that short-lived land bridge between Asia and North America, there wouldn’t be any Canucks.

You never did share that tale about you fighting a Sabertooth barehanded....

Sure you can reply. You have the 2nd amendment. Us northern cousins will soon be at the point where we will need a licence to even talk about firearms if we keep electing liberal commies like Justine Trudeau.
