The pre war guns are more suited to iron sights and have a lot of drop. IMHO I have one of the nicest Hornets available with a period correct Kollmorgan 10X scope with a target dot. At one time I had a Hornet in a carbine with a Lyman receiver sight. I traded it back to Steve Barnett for something else that I can't remember. Wish I still had it.

Up to 9 Model 70’s so far. 3 30 06’s, 3 308s, 2 375’s and one 257 Roberts. You all might remember one of the 375’s with Ackley improved chambers and it is going up the road after the holidays. The 257 Roberts is heavily customized and is on consignment as we speak. It was supposed to be a 270, but wasn’t and my guy had to get a gunsmith to figure out what it was. It was in a lot with a 30 06 featherweight.

Big question is what other calibers I need. Henry Davis wrote about turkey hunting with a 22 Hornet which is why I want that caliber

Hornets have a lot of charisma, but can be very finicky, often are very hard to get to group well.

One of the must have rifle calibers for me is .22 Magnum. It is a giant slayer. Kills way beyond how it should. I've had a Ruger 77/22M since CHRISTmas Day 1991. Groups well under an inch at 125 yds, with a little Burris compact 4X scope. It just loves the little Remington 33 gr. ballistic tip rounds.

Another I enjoy is .45-70, with handloads. Ruger No. 1, with 300 gr. FNHPs at 2100 fps. Topped with a Leupold M8-3X.

I also enjoy a .220 Swift with 52 gr. handloads. Crows never hear what killed them.

Mills if you don't already have Roger Rule's book The Riflemans Rifle you should get it. It's The Parker Story for the M 70.
