[QUOTE="lewwetzel, post: 1000139, member: 21496"] To me, about the only thing to like about the Hornet is the fact that it is the "quietest" centerfire rifle round out there. That's the only reason I own one, and the Savage 25 rifle it's chambered in is barely tolerable. Had mine at a range in a 5 mph wind recently and was shocked by how much the Hornets blew around. Much prefer the .221 Fireball for its accuracy and reload-ability in a small round; but louder than the .22H for shooting near built-up areas. As for the Ruger: the older ones are notoriously inaccurate, mainly due to the two-piece bolt. A C-Z (or Browning Micro if you can find one) is the only way to go in a Hornet, IMO. [/QUOTE]
