To much effort for to little gain over the .17 hmr and on the other side of the equation the classic .222 rem outperforms it by a couple of country miles for very little extra cost and it's easier to reload for.
    "Want" is plenty of reason to get one though.
    My only issue with the Brno is the bolt lift is as you allude to, far too high

    Is he referring to barrel twist or the number of grooves in the barrel, I assumed the later as the Brno had a much slower twist than 1:8

    @cissp22 Either way you go ask the owners if they have some typical targets/groups shot. The Hornet can be "fickle".
    Where are you?

    It's a very nice rifle, very accurate, sighted it 5 rounds in 1/2" square at 100 metres off the bipold, near enough for me, was happy with dollars
