I've got the HW in 22H, if I had a 465 would be collecting dust beside it. If I ever took one out to shoot would probably be the HW...very well built rifle just not a collectable (yet).

There's nothing 'collectable' about BRNO's to me...I would take the one with the best bore. But I would prefer the Brno - as long as I could check that it fed and extracted properly. Which is not a given with old Brno's. Some of them were put together like agricultural implements.
I have never had an Anschutz so can't say whether I would like it or not.

Have you owned a 465?

Nope...always wanted a 1957 Brno hornet to match my model 2. But it would just gather dust same as the HW!

Have one here if you fancy a go.

I've got a h&r handi and a krico once a load was sorted they both very accurate

Wouldn't say no...will throw 260AI case in the bag.

Not all rear locking actions are the same , some are very strong , others less so , one of my friends had a Annie 54 in 222 , nice looking rifle , But just did not shoot well , RE the Hornet , when I was thinking of getting one , most said get a CZ , they seem to shoot the best , and yes the Hornet is a finicky little round .
Mine does about 1/2- 3/4 inche at 100yds .
My load is 13.0gr of lilgun , CCI pistol primer , 40gr vmax , with light crimp on case mouth .

Rear or front locking is really a non issue in the Hornet.

Here's a pic of a group at 100yds , shoot to confirm zero in April this yr .
