Default Browning Micro Hunter Hornet value?

Would anyone be able to guess what a LH Browning Micro Hunter Hornet might be worth now, used, as new in box?

Thanks,

Danny

I video recorded all of my Highpower Rifle matches. Pretty soon I am going to watch them all in reverse order so that I can watch those F Class guys GO HOME and leave us alone so that we can shoot Highpower Rifle.

I was thinking somewhere around there and wasn't sure. Your purchase confirms my thoughts. I tried to find some closed Gunbroker Auctions with no luck. They come up for sale new so few times. What is it that you will do with yours and what do you like about it? I have just bought a Cooper 38 Montana Varminter that I like a lot.

Is it a Medallion or standard model?

Those Medallions seem to go closer to $1100-1200.

It is the newer Micro Hunter, post Medallion version.

Then dismiss my post, mine is a Micro Medallion.


The things I really like about it, it's a repeater, it's small, and it's a front locking lug action with American threads.


I love the CZ actions but with their metric threads, I can't cut them on my lathe.

You probably already know this, but just in case, I will mention it. Back in the day, a lot of guys cut Mauser thread pitch with a close Standard thread pitch which was not perfect, but got the job done. At this time, at the top of my head, I do not remember Mauser thread pitch, nor the close Standard pitch. My guess is that you will tell me that the CZ is not of Mauser standard pitch.

I prefer the CZ, BUT you can't get a lefty Hornet action.

Will you use the Browning for a Hornet case build? I have just bought a Cooper LH Montana Varminter which will replace the Browning. I found that I did not like the light Micro Hunter weight or sporter stock design. For a Hornet, to me, the Micro Hunter action seems pretty big, and maybe more suited to something in the .223 Class. Ultimately, if I did keep it, which is doubtful, I would want to see it rebarreled as 17 MKIV/Fireball/17 Remington/.223, if I could economically get a proper bolt head and a way worked up to feed the bigger cases, whether by a proper sized Browning Magazine, or some single shot follower. Most likely, what I would do is just buy a Cooper Model 21 Montana Varminter LH and be done with it.
