With the scarcity and price gouging of a nice Mini action for the 22 hornet you might want to consider a Thompson center single shot platformWhats the best .22 hornet action to build off of?
I dont know anything about it, but single shot is perfectly fine for a 17 or 20 mink.Is what the scarcity and price gouging of a nice Mini action for the 22 hornet you might want to consider a Thompson center single shot platform
Yes the 527 has the single set adjustable trigger, and mini mauser action, and recessed crown. FWIW I have two CZ 527's in 222 Rem and 17 Hornet. Unfortunately the 527 series has been discontinued. It has been replaced with the 600. Unfortunately again I donot see the 600 offered in 22 Hornet .These are the only two I knew of before going custom..
Is the CZ a good action and trigger set up?
CZ 527 with set trigger perfect but hard to find. CZ is a front lug action where Ruger and Savage are rear lug actions. Another is Sako Rhimaki also a front lug and of course Browning Xbolt, also a front lug action. Stay away from rear lug actions if you're doing a custom, my opinion.These are the only two I knew of before going custom..

Another vote for front lug action. Other than what has been said, there is Cooper also. You might give Calhoon a call about the CZ since he has done a ton of them. He does nice work and is a lot of fun to talk to, in addition.
fthat's not phossible 'puddy tat, LOL! Couldn't resist!!I don't know if it's the best, but I'd kill to have a .17 hornet built off a pre-64 Model 70 action.
If you can find a Coop, yes it's the best. Good luck! Good suggestions Adam! This guy is Mink expert, he's been doing it a long time. And I would suggest 20 over 17.If you are looking to do a 17 or 20 Mink start with a single shot off a Contender action. That’s what I did. I did a 17 Squirrel then a 20 Mink. A “TON” of work goes into making the brass but man are they fun and cheap to shoot. I lucked out and not after 2 months of having my Bullberry 20 Mink Barrel in my hands I found a Cooper 38 that was turned into a 20 Mink. I bought it with zero questions asked. Best damn rifle I’ve ever bought. Once you build a Mink you’ll sell off every other varmint rifle……well not really but you get my point.
Hmmm. I've got a Sako Vixen in 222, my load is H4198 and 40 Vmax. What's the advantage to reducing velocity with Blue Dot vs a typical rifle powder, just a lot less powder consumed?Another way to skin a cat. Load the std 223 with 12g of Blue Dot, 40g bullets, 3000 fps, same thing as a K hornet, and a lot less headache.
Winchester actually made .22 Hornet Model 70s pre-64.fthat's not phossible 'puddy tat, LOL! Couldn't resist!!
Start at 10g of Blue dot with the 40g. First, thing is weigh every charge, the big flake powder is prone to bridge in a powder measure. Accuracy will be great as you work your way up.Hmmm.
