[QUOTE="db-2, post: 217408, member: 4743"] AS I stated my dad used his 1938 model 70 hornet that was chamber for a 22-k hornet hunting rabbits. I remember one time when my dad had a 49 olds convertible and hunting rabbits with the hornet. It was spring and the rabbits stood out like a sore thump in the plowing. the ground was still froze that morning so he drove out onto the east quarter and we shot over 30 rabbits in a hour or so. threw the rabbits in the trunk or back seat. Surprise he used the family car for that. But as a young boy he did let me shoot it a time or to. Left home and did not see that rifle for 50 years again. About 7 years ago got it and it has a weaver 440 scope on it that I believe was made for WW1 snipe use. The dots in the scope where broke and thanks to another person on here got in fixed by a girl in texas. So I finally went and shot it last night. Used the hood of the Dodge. Middle target at 25 yards with five rounds. Top target again five rounds at 70 yards. Bottom target again at 70 yards. Not so good but the dot more than cover the target so was doing some guessing on that target. I am not a target shooter and really very seldom shoot a rifle. But I hope by using a rifle rest at 100 yards I can have 5 bullets touching. Not sure for you target shooters if that is good or so-so. Using reqular bullets and maybe get into loading and load some of the fire form bullets. Not sure if that would help. Anyways what is a good group for a 22 shell in a model 70 with the weaver scope (which is a pile of crab in todays market) at 100 yards? db [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] by the way thanks again svnmag db-2 [/QUOTE]
