Have the opportunity to get a safe queen 77/22H from my father.
I know these rifles have internet-legend poor accuracy. This particular rifle was last shot about 10 years ago by myself with Hornady factory V-Max ammo; all I remember was it provided consistent hits on soda-sized cans 50-100yd with a 4x Nikon scope.
I want to get the rifle and see how it will shoot at 100yd with a variety of factory ammo; if accuracy is "good enough" I'll leave well enough alone and start reloading for it. If it isn't isn't satisfactory, I'm thinking about shipping it to CPC for their accurizing & trigger package, and possibly conversion to K-Hornet.
I've got 22LR and 223, so I'm thinking the Hornet will provide a <200yd coyote gun that is cheap to feed and and has low recoil/report for my son's first centerfire in a few years.
Curious to know the experiences of others with this rifle and CPC's work...and if K-Hornet conversion is really that beneficial.
