PS great to see you here on NE again too!
It's always a pleasure to visit here. I've wasted far too much time and energy at 24HR, where everyone is a "cov-tard, lib-tard, pedo-tard"...etc, etc...LOL. It's a free for all of the unwashed, John.
And I hope we stay polite here! Keep all the 'tards out!

The Hornet shoots MOA with factory WW HPs.
The 7X57 from a cool barred each shot shoots about 1.75 with S&B 173gr cutting edge bullets, awful bullets for big game. They virtually explode on contact. I have some very old stock Remington 165gr RN that reduce the group by 1/3 with my careful hand loads.
That's great.

For the bad news, my good friend the gunsmith fell in love with it while he was modifying the rear sight from auto pop-up when the rifle was cocked/selected to a manual sight that he modified internally, so the 7X57R barrel doesn't have to be activated to have the rear sight up. Just flip it up and down with your finger, a far better set up for shooting right barrel einstecklaufs.
Well, he wants it, and I owe him countless favors over the last 30+ years, so guess what? He's going to pay me what I paid and be the new owner, but I can borrow and shoot it any time.
Not great! Keep away from that guy!

As part of the deal he'll install a never used, just as new Kreighoff Left barrel 22 Mag insert and regulate it to the scope at 50 yards on my 16/16/7X65R Kreighoff Trumpf Dural drilling, my favorite gun. Sans scope, I use it often as an upland gun for Chukar, quail, and grouse. It wears a 1.5-6 Zeiss.
OK a good deal.
