Beautiful little rifle but haven't had the chance to shoot it as yet, just enough time to clean the gunk from the bore and get familiar.
I did a lot of research before I bought it and mine seems to have the same problems as many others,
inconsistent feeding from the magazine and unable to load single rounds.
For a $1100-1600 rifle the magazine could be better ( to be honest reminds me of the older Rolex clasps )
I luckily ordered a spare magazine so will compare when it arrives.
Has anyone on here suffered the same problems and how did you rectify them?

I have the Ruger 12 Hornet, sweet little shooter but seems to rely on a round in the mag to eject. Has a 6 shot rotary style mag and ejects the first 5 perfectly but the last one extracts but doesn't eject. Good you got yours sorted, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

All shot using the Hornady factory ammo so not sure if I'll ever bother to reload when factory is this good. It's a proper little tack driver but I did notice the groups open up substantially after a dozen or so shots so it may be fussy about barrel temp or needs a clean every 10 shots or so. Keen to hear about your initial shots tomorrow

A couple of my previous Hornets did the same. No biggy. Normal. I did not FL size either. Just neck. Again as mentioned just keep an eye on case seperation.
Enjoy the ride.

I remember growing up in Tassie we would take wallably with a .22 no problem,with good placement the .17 should have a bit more reach.
When the opportunity arises to go hunting on some property here I think I'll be well equipped

Unfortunately I can only shoot at SSAA for time being so single shot is required but no issue as have got a single shot follower on its way, magazine will be relegated to hunting when opportunity arises.
