I mentioned a while back about a handi hornet that a local shop had, Well i decided to take a ruger 10/22 and try to get an even up trade, I tried, but they gave me 140 for the ruger and i got the price knocked down from 199 down to 185, I bought a box of factory hornady 35 gr v-max loads, I went to the range on the way home where i mounted my old bushnell sportview 3x9x50 (my new gun test scope) after dialing it in at 50 yards i shot at 100, the first 4 shot group put them in a semi verticle line that measured about 2 1/2 inches, After letting it cool down and making a small scope adjustment i shot 4 more shots and 3 of the 4 measured a 2 inch group, the 4th either went perfectly through another hole or flew off the paper, I stopped at true value on the way home and got an o-ring, the wood is in good shape, but i know i can get it to look better, so i stripped it this evening and am going to stain it with a redwood stain and then about 5 or 6 coats of true oil and it should be looking good, Im going to get some dies and powder hopefully within a week or two and will put the 0-ring in and test some loads and give a full range report. yeah thanks to this site i now got 2 and have a ultra 25-06 coming from my dad in iowa when he comes back to pa at christmas
