Yep the k hornet is a nice little cartridge - 40 grain v-max at 3200fps with 14 grains of powder - 52gr projectiles at 2800fps with 12.5gr of powder. Quiet, cheap to reload, no recoil, easier to clean than a 17 or 20 cal, with shot placement and projectile choice good enough up to fallow deer and that one will group under 2" at 200m... what more could i ask for?

Gem pointed this out to me as well. I did mention to her though the size of the scope doesn't make her hold it any steadier.
The scope is new, had a 2-7 VX-I on it for years. Gem has shown some interest in doing a bit more shooting and the swaro is a huge step up. The multi-zero function makes scope adjustments real simple for essentially a range rifle.

I still struggle owning a rifle not sighted in for me though.... I mean what if i want to use it now?!!?
