Default RE: 22 Hornet Rifle

Have you been able to find a Browning?? I know two guys who are looking to order one. Neither have been able to locate one.

The 22 Hornet can be a very finicky rifle to shoot. I own and have owned several(not one of the ones you mentioned). My most accurate Hornet is a Kimber of Oregon. I owned an Enore, and a Ruger that shot horribly. I have read several articles on the Varmint Hunter's forum. Al the reviews I read on the CZ were good. Nothing stood out, but they were acceptable.

If utmost accuracy is your ultimate goal, then you might consider a different cartridge. The Hornet is not known for being a tack driver. The brass is weak in the neck, and shoulder.(thin). Tom.
