This is the rifle my friend loaned me. He bought it used and it had a lot of work done to it. Some good some bad. The first owner painted it and the stock is most likely a replacement. My friend added the Nikon Buckmasters II 4-12x40 scope.

He reloaded for it and here is his aiming aid. I’m not sure what the numbers represents and he told me I could remove them.

Yes. On the barrel it has a small k in front of the 22.

You can shoot this one if you are in this neck of the woods.

that would be great .... sadly, we don't have any trips that far west in the foreseeable future ....about the closest would be shooting with Evan (Esquared) in KC in August

I’m planning a trip to Wisconsin next summer. I want to meet as many people that I can.

Those numbers look like the Nikon Spot On app for zeros at various distances and magnifications with that Buckmaster scope and a 270 Winchester load. Hey, leave it on. It looks impressive, even though out won't have any application for a 22 Hornet.

I can go either way. Last time I took 94 going east and 90 coming back.

I too took a pause looking at the data showing a 130 grain bullet. 22 Hornet 130 gr, now that’s a lotta bullet for a 22 caliber. Then I reread the post and understood the scope was added to the rifle recently.

It’s all Greek to me. When I reloaded it was 7.62 NATO, 5.56 NATO and 9mm all loaded to milspec.
