Does anybody reload for their .22 Hornet M6 Scouts? I’m researching loads/powders/bullets for this caliber, and would like to start reloading soon. Right now I’m trying to figure out if it takes/prefers .223 or .224 diameter bullets? I’m also considering getting one of the newer CZ Bolt Actions in this caliber. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I love my Scout, and I cant’ believe what the prices are on these guns, used, on Gunbroker.

Zug …. While I neither know the answer nor the difference in the two … I suggest contacting the Springfield Armory with the caliber question. All their instructrion manual states is .22 Hornet………
Good luck.

Matt asked about the ‘twist rate’ some time ago…..
.22 LR: Right hand 1 turn in 15″
.22 Hornet: Right Hand 1 turn in 13″
Both have 6 grooves.

‘Toying’ with selling my hardly-used S/S Hornet model. Can’t make up my mind. I see they are going at auction for around $600……
What do do? What to do…….???

I have 2 M6 Scouts and purchased a total of 5. Mostly for relatives in Hawaii for hunting.
I currently use my spray Canned Cammo Scout in 22lr to shoot Rats in my girlfriends horse barn. I use 22 CCI Shot and works well up to about 7ft. It has taken 6 Crows , a nasty Starling and a chicken raiding Oppusum.I have 1 Scout in 22Hornet and let my friend use it in Hawaii b4 I took it back. It is armed with Maglite, laser and a red dot sight. It has taken numerous Wild Pigs (useing Dogs to bay them,less then 20yrd shots)and some ferol Cows(yes Cows that wonder on the road and not claimed by anybody) The laser aimed @ the head ,then the 22Hornet does wonders. Also turns Snowshoe Hares inside out with HollowPoints.
My Uncle uses his Scout to shoot Pig pen Pigs for Luau’s. Sometime the 22LR is not Enough, But I supplied him with 410 slugs and does the job nicely.
The Scout is a great close range Tool. The sights personally SUCK in my opinion thus went with a Red Dot on my rifles.
The Scout also should have a option to carry a few rounds on the outside as its a pain to reload by opening the stock up to retrive a round(unless you have a few in your hand)in case a 2nd shot is needed.Its not a classic in any sense and I would not pay more than 200$ for one but as a rifle you can beat up, thin ,small,to use in tight spaces. as I use mine to reach in far holes to scrape the dead rats out.Its better than using my .22 CZ452 Mannlicher.
PS I shoot the neihboor dog shiting in his yard. The Mexican Humming Bird rounds are great. The 350 FPS stuff are quieter than a Red Ryder BB gun. The Dog is uninjured!!!!!!!!Then theres the 500fps stuff.
I have all these ROUNDS in my Scout. 350fps,500fps 22LongCB(CCI) 22quickshok(CCI) then finally 22 STNGERS(CCI)Out of all my guns, My Scouts have taken more animals than all my other guns combined besides my old Model 11 Remington Shotgun

heinz, don’t shoot a domestic dog in its own freaking yard.bbif you so much as scratched my dogs eye and or pierced the skin of his rump, in my own yard no less, I would beat you with in an inch of being crippled or dead.
Now a confirmed wild dog, coyote etc sure. What kind of jerk shoots his neighbors dog. Your asking for a real hatfield and mccoy feud. If you by accident killed or mamed my dog in my yard, its no holds bared death feud for life.
I would have no qualms about following you for years, every so often making your life miserable to get revenge.

I see people are looking for the M6 Scout. They are no longer being manufactured. I have the Stanless Steel and it is great for back packing. I have the orginial plastic case, canvas back pack bag, scope and not sure what else. I have it in storage. I have not shot it as much as I should. It is now a collectors item. Possible will sell for the right price. I live in Alaska jlcook3751@yahoo.com (907)223-3751

Your best bet is to constantly check gunbroker, and after you cringe at the prices, just keep watching and if you are lucky you may be able to grab an M6 Scout for around $500 if you catch everybody sleeping. Beat up .22 LR models will be the least expensive ones, just make sure you read the description, some people permanently remove the trigger guard and they will also gut the ammunition storage compartment to be trendy and have an empty “Storage Compartment” to put survival supplies in (I am not kidding). Those mods should reduce the price, but, due to the rarity of these rifles, rusted examples can be priced at a premium. I think there is one on GB now that looks like it laid in a salt water pond for awhile, then was dragged down a dirt road, and it is priced at $500 give or take. That rifle has been on GB for about a year now. Just keep watching. Obviously if you are looking for a 22Hornet version, you are going to pay at least $700 to $800, and even more for stainless. Original Springfield Armory models (not Czech) in the blue hard case will, in either caliber, run significantly more. Check gun shows, and, local trade papers like penny saver and other regional trade/saver papers and web sites. Put out a WTB advertisement at AR15.com. It may take a week or so, but you will get offers. If you have anything to trade, it may lessen the blow your wallet will take. Good Luck!

Fabrice, yes I would sell if I get a reasonable offer otherwise I will retain. I am not sure about the ability to export a firearm from Australia to Luxembourg and I would need to investigate further. The M6 Scout I have is stainless steel and I have checked and has had two (2) 410 shells fired and ten (10) 22 hornet shells fired, so as close to new as you can get. Still in original box. Selling price range for M6 Scout in Australia is generally in the A$500 – $1,000 (300 – 600 Euro) range. May or may not be within your range for interest.

Does anyone know what the twist rate on its rifling is?
I got one when I was 17 for $189, of course had to go and lose the manual. Mine didn’t come with a case, just a cardboard box at a local gun dealer. It is an exceptional rifle. I love it for day-long adventures. It’s light enough you can carry it all day with no trouble. I just mounted a compact scope to see if I can improve accuracy. I don’t do to well with a peep sight. Wish there was an open rear bead front setup.

This gun has always been on “my list.” Strange “trigger” design for use with gloves. There’s nothing else out there this compact, other than the AR7, but you don’t get the handy .410. A .410 slug is a very nice little round.
Someone will make this again…

Hah!
I have one of the type, bought decades back from the back end of a BoysLife magazine. I dragged that weapon all through my scouting career doing hiking, camping, and doing rat patrol at summer camp.On long hikes it kept us in fresh meat, as our Scoutmaster made it a priority that we live off the land effectivly. That and if we didn’t kill it, we couldn’t eat it. Made us respect the vittles being cooked up over the campfire in the open spaces of North Dakota.
Damn, now I have a hankering for muskrat stew.Fond memories or not, this was still back in the days of the Cold War and we were expected to run off into the woods to hide and make life hell for the Ruskies. Very interesting memories these days, I gotta say.
I gave my piece to my nephew who continues the Scouting tradition and he sends me back photos of what he’s stalked and killed on his own. I’m still not sure how the hell he bagged a wild turkey with a .22. Lucky devil.

most .22 ammo is .22lr or .22 short. Both are available anywhere ammo is sold. .22 short is simply a shorter .22lr and should work fine in an M6. Chances are any .22 ammo will be .22lr. If it fits in the gun it is most likely safe to use.

I have one of the type, bought decades back from the back end of a BoysLife magazine. I dragged that weapon all through my scouting career doing hiking, camping, and doing rat patrol at summer camp.
On long hikes it kept us in fresh meat, as our Scoutmaster made it a priority that we live off the land effectivly. That and if we didn’t kill it, we couldn’t eat it. Made us respect the vittles being cooked up over the campfire in the open spaces of North Dakota.
Damn, now I have a hankering for muskrat stew.
Fond memories or not, this was still back in the days of the Cold War and we were expected to run off into the woods to hide and make life hell for the Ruskies. Very interesting memories these days, I gotta say.
I gave my piece to my nephew who continues the Scouting tradition and he sends me back photos of what he’s stalked and killed on his own. I’m still not sure how the hell he bagged a wild turkey with a .22. Lucky devil.
Do they Still make this rifle? I’ve been trying to get one for ages in Australia and they say that Springfield has stop makeing them.
Ben, not anymore.
