Bet its got a nice trigger
Yes the trigger is very nice! The front trigger on most double set triggers has a very heavy pull weight if the trigger isn't set, the Weihrauch is the complete opposite. With the trigger set mine breaks like glass at 8 ounces and with it unset the front trigger still breaks at 1 lb 2 oz (18 oz) but has a fair amount of travel.Quote:

I thInk theres a law against that kind of thing
Went for a wander tonight and saw what I thought was a hare through the rangefinder but when I put the scope on him it looked like a rock/clump of dirt, gave a whistle and an ear moved so that was enough for a green light. So what I thought was a nice head shot hare(115m, nothing outstanding but man I'm loving this laser like rifle)for the pot....

nice one southernman
my Abolt 22 hornet most accurate rifle ive had using factory ammo just havent still blooded it yet 🙄
I just ordered a new hornet, Canada day was first of July, 15% off, was enough to place an order for a Anschutz 1771 in .17 hornet, looking forward to having a .17 hornet again for squirrels and small game here in Canada,
currently shooting a 20 vartarg single shot, its too much for them, and much more expensive to run, except at long range, 250m plus.
Nice work. Bringing it back with you to nz?
Greetings,
Thanks for shaming me into getting my .22 Hornet H & R back into action soon. It has been sitting in the back of the cupboard for far too long.
Grandpamac.
I've got one of those and it's a good shooter
@quentin we will await the latest addition.....
Looking forward to it arriving.
Have a permit to disturb from fish and game for Pukeko. Thought I'd get .17 Centrefire added as well as the .22LR, and 12G shottie to the permit.
The .17 Hornet should allow me to get the remaining birds that wised up to my other options. As well as the spurwing plovers, magpies, rabbits and hares :D
How do they come up with those names......
yeah heaps more out there
but in NZ most likely be 22 h ,22KH or 17HH
@small_caliber cheers for the info😎 20AH could fun n interesting heck better use my 22 hornet b4 i change it 🤔😆
took me 13yrs to get the lh 22 hornet as it is so just will use it as is 😁
Its been a while since I saw a photo of the Cooper twins! Lovely rifles... :)
These 2 were stupid enough to land in the paddock while I has loading some 17's. 2 very different wounds I'm thinking the "intact" Plover is a result of clipping the grass prior to impact?? 3550fps at 50m would normally equal big mess.

good stuff charlie ������
The 17 hornet is here, and ready to head to the range :D
Small mishap with the scope that was supposed to go on it, so the supplied scope will stay until the warranty replacement goes through.
Attachment 145942
oh heck the 17s a breeding in this thread 😁
You guna roll your own @quentin or use factory ammo? What was the mishap with the scope?
Yep, roll my own is the longer term goal. Reload for my other rifles, so the outlay for dies, pills, and powder isn't going to break the bank.
More of a fault than a misshap with the scope. Reticle canted slightly when using the magnification ring. Cheaper scope with good glass, and features, and would have ticked the box. Only noticed after removing it from the PCP, and putting it on the CZ.
Finally got to use the 17 Hornet in anger.
Alarmingly efficient on Pukeko,

And to preempt anyone thinking this is illegal, I have a permit from Fish & Game to take them with a 17 Cal centrefire.
Still haven't got my scope back, so mounted a 8-32x56 Sightron off a range run. TBH, I really like it, so it will probably stay on the 17 Hornet.
Also got my hands on a second hand composite stock - the one with a rubber coating like a hogue. This had to be one of the most flimsy stocks I have ever encountered!
I made up front and rear pillars, inset a steel block for the Picatinny rail to attach to, poured in stock stabiliser, and bedded the action. Glad I did not have to pay labor for this!
Long story short, it's now a rigid stock, which should do the job just perfectly. And I won't care if I scratch it up or ever need to touch up the woodwork.

nice one Q 😎
Finally got another Hornet here in Canada, a Anschutz 1771, in .17 hornet, shoots fantastic, smooth feed and nice mags, Out for a hunt yesterday, bunnys and squirrels too quick, Attachment 148092Attachment 148093
Never had a rifle, straight out of the box so accurate, 25gr v-max, 11.3 gr Blackout and got 3 groups under .420, was pretty windy, and i suspect the 20gr Hollow points were getting blowen about a bit. still multiple groups five or six shots, all less than 3/4 at 100m.
Is that factory ammo in the bottom left?
Yep federal, 20 gr, Grey tip, box of 50, I think its the Nosler tipped 20gr, Both groups on the right are Nosler Hollow points, I shot the Federal an hour or so after the other groups, and it had calmed down quite a bit.Quote:
