here is my new to me 22 hornet. this is the 3rd savage hornet, i will keep this one. it has a vintage usa made 2x7 redfield and i think a savage made mount. this gun shoots one hole groups with factory ppu 45gr sp. my handloads are a close second with a speer 45gr sp and lil,gun with wolf small pistol primers. i had a 340 about 20 years ago with pressed checkering that had what looked to be a piece of extra fancy walnut. it was beautiful i wished i would have kept that one.
Nice looking finish on the wood. My .222 looks that nice, but it took hours and hours of oiling after stripping the factory finish.
I have the idea that all those mounts were made by Weaver. One of mine (NOS from evilBay) as I remember came in Weaver packaging,
Agree 100% with your load.
Very nice.

Hi Guys Newby here,
Just purchased a 340 22 hornet as a project.
It is missing the barrel band and the scope mounts looks like a cheapy.
My question is should I just get a new band from numrich or has anyone tried brazing another mount on the rear of the trigger group.
I have seen a guy on the web do this to bed and float the rifle.
I guess it should shoot ok with the barrel band.
Any web links much appreciated.
cheers

mine shoots good with the band, i would put it on it's there for a reason.
thx
Olskool, very nice. Interesting mount on that rifle...never seen one quite like it before, at least on a non-military rifle anyways. Very nice.
