Hey guys,
I am thinking about getting a 22 K Hornet for under $1000. Which would be a better set up:
1) Getting a Savage model 40 in 22 Hornet, then have it re-chambered into 22 K Hornet
Or
2) Getting a Thompson Center encore rifle then getting a Thompson Center custom shop barrel in 22 K Hornet
Which would be a better shooting rifle? If I go with the Savage, I would also get it pillar bedded at the same time as re-chambering. Any other work that I should get done to either setup? Pros/Cons of each?
Also, should I bother with the K Hornet or should I just stick with the standard Hornet?
Any other rifle/setup I should consider?
Any help much appreciated!
