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!

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'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. Does anybody reload for their .22 Hornet M6 Scouts?

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 I have 2 M6 Scouts and purchased a total of 5.
