I finally got the superlight hornet out of lay away and give it a quick test drive this past weekend. And it did reasonably well, all I had time for was a quick sight in and a little mud clump shooting. I tried both winchester(gray box) and Hornady. I am not really good with v-notch sights so it's hard to tell at this point which load was more accurate. But both loads were plenty accurate to kill a coyote @ 100 2-3" so it is easily meeting the expectations I had for it with me shooting open sights.
I hauled it out one night deer hunting I tried some coyote calling on the hike in to my spot, nothing showed up. But on the hike out draging a whitetail doe I hardly noticed it was there, it is one compact package.
I had my one son try it and he managed to center shoot a gallon jug at ~40 Yards just shooting off his knee, he was itching to go deer hunting so he only tried it once. But in his bulky coat it was plain to see I'll need to get a youth stock, the long stock would be to clumsy.
I will be scoping it as well the v-notch would be OK for coyote hunting but it is just too course for shooting gophers. I was thinking I would use a rimfire scope they are a little lighter and the paralex setting should be well suited for the hornet, and it's not like the hornets recoil would damage it.
All in all a neat little gun.
