VERY good direction. The .22 Hornet has never been a long distance affair anyway, basically a short range varmint gun. At 200-300 yards this will be a slam dunk hit producer on steel. Very satisfying...
Cutting the dovetail will be nerve racking!

Yep. I can see some rancher laying it on a flour sack on the kitchen window sill and rolling a coyote trying to snoop around the chicken coop.
BTW with FMJs it’s a hell of a turkey gun, where allowed.

If a rancher laid a rifle on a sack of flour and shot out the kitchen window he would have is wife hitting him with a rolling pin for sure! The kitchen is the wife’s domain, and that sack of flour is months worth of biscuits…..Now if he stepped out the door and shot it form the porch? He’s getting a peach pie……

Or what what dad did. He zipped a coyote from a second story upstairs window, through a screen he was going to replace.

My house, my domain. At some point I shot out of just about every door and window in my ranch. I just have folks notice before the trigger was pressed.

Front sight dovetail cut and Lyman 17a installed. The holes in the top of the barrel plugged. A Lyman no.2 tang sight, that my in-laws sent for Christmas, installed. The factory Lyman screws worked, perfect length and thread pitch. This Friday a proper range report!
