I have an Anschutz 1433 fullstock, double set trigger, with a 6x Leupold compact on it. Real good beaver / coyote rifle. I like it!
They come in many guns...... Ruger #1, #3`s, 77`s. Brno`s, Savages, Winchesters, Win Cooeys, and many others, too many to mention.
I have had them in probably every one made thru the years
I love them The K Hornet is a good one as well.

Was that Hornet made for you by chance?

I have a BRNO ZKW 465 that has been modified to the K-Hornet configuration. It will shoot Factory fodder into less than MOA, and reloading just improves it. It was given to me by a dear friend, and will be with me as long as I can shoot, what a sweet rifle!! Regards, Eagleye.

22 Hornets - owned...
I've owned 2 Hornets - and sold them...
My first centerfire rifle was a Savage 219B in 22 Hornet. Reloaded for it - enjoyed it - had a horrible trigger - moved on....
Then came a Savage 340. Super accurate. Developed a 'fart' load for quiet rabbit hunting on a friends soft-fruit farm in Niagara. 50gr Winch PSP over
3.5gr Unique - produced dime sized groups at 50yds - benched - AWESOME. Great bunny getter with little damage to meat & pelts.
Had lots of fun with Hornets !!! Would consider again but for now, no regrets.
Cheap to reload - 46gr HP bullets worked the best for me.

I have a Ruger M77 Varmint in 22 Hornet. This is the stainless 24" heavy barrel with laminate stock..here are a couple 100 meter groups out of it with the 40gr VMax and 12.5grs of LilGun powder and a 6-24 Elite 4000 scope. Velocity is about 2950. It has been my favorite gopher getter.

My Hornet is a Kimber of Oregon bolt action. Took me a while to find a load it liked, but it's a lovely gun to shoot (and just look at, very pretty). - dan
This is the project I finished last week.
Savage 340B with B-Square scope mount and a Weaver K4. The stock is in oil.
Went yesterday to our range. Tried her at 50m. 11,3 gr H110 behind 45gr Hornady SP bullet. Boring accurate!
The beauty of the rather expensive B-Square mount is the fact that you can still use the sights. Add a Williams peep sight next week.
One of the best rifles I ever owned! Very compact, handy, robust and well made.
