Here is an awesome rifle. It is a BRNO ZKW 465 made in Czechoslovakia in 1975 and chambered for 22 K-Hornet. These rifles are very smooth and are great shooters.
The K-Hornet is the work of former Lyman employee Lysle Kilbourn – the K in K-Hornet – the cartridge was developed in 1940. It is basically an “improved” version of the .22 Hornet. The basic problem with the .22 Hornet has always been its sloping shoulders and the fact the cartridge headspaces almost entirely off its prominent rim. This has generally made the round a touch fussy – aside from the small doses of fast-burning powder the round thrives on, which I’ll touch on momentarily. The K-Hornet has not only that rear rim, but a 35- to 40-degree shoulder to headspace on, which better aligns bullets and starting them straight down the bore. This automatically improves accuracy. The shouldered K-Hornet, in a quality rifle, is generally capable of more consistent accuracy than the .22 Hornet when fed carefully assembled handloads.
