Finally got some ammunition for the .22 Hornet rifle and had a new firing pin made for it. Took it to an indoor range today to work out the zero on the scope. At 75 feet, the very first shot group could be covered with a dime, but was way low from target center. Based on ballistics for the 22 Hornet round, it looks like the zero was established for 200 yards. After an hour of working with it, I finally got a 5 round shot group you could cover with the end of an unsharpened #2 wood pencil. Hot Damn, not bad for an old fart!

I will now put it on the market and look to get me a nice 308 bolt gun.
