WTB 22 hornet

Want to buy a Ruger 22 Hornet, preferably a new one because I don’t want to spent $2000 on a gun I shouldn’t shoot. Ruger super black hawk or 77/22 preferred. Let me know if you see one at a local ND gun shop!

I have a number of guns but the two i would hate to give up are a model 70 in 264 and a prewar model 70 in 22 K hornet.
Back in the day when there were jackrabbits in the spring they would lay in the farrow of the plow. It was also a time when plows were still used. I would take the 264 to hunt deer but when it came time to use i would put it down and use my 300 mark 5 Weatherby. The 264 had too much speed and would blow up as soon as it hit a bone with store bought shells.

But i remember well when dad took his 1949 Olds and we when on a quarter of bare land. The ground was frozen in the morning, and we kill around 25 rabbits and threw in the back seat of the family car. When i took the 222 also in a pre64 model 70 the rabbit would get up a run maybe around 50 to 100 yards and then die. With the hornet they die in the spot they were laying. Again, too much speed in the 222.
A great gun and caliber. db

Back in the late 70's, early 80's I had a Ruger No. 3 Hornet. Deadly jackrabbit killer. I cannot understand how I was so fn dumb as to get rid of it. Even dumber was to part with the No. 1 220 Swift.

The 264 WM has killed 1000's of Deer, Elk and Antelope with factory ammo. And never once have I ever heard, there to fast and the bullet will blow up on a bone. And a 222 having to much speed and Rabbits will run 50 to 100 yds after being hit. I have shot 1000's of Jack Rabbits in the 70's shooting them with 22 rimfire up to a 22-250 with 55gr SP factory and many ,many Jack's would just about be sawed apart with them factory shells.
