Very cool, never heard of the cartridge before this. Thanks for sharing a family heirloom!

[@cw2a]

First brought out in Winchesters Lever in a '92 variant the model 65 with a pistol grip and 3/4 mag tube. (FP bullets) Years later Marlin followed suit with there 1894cl.

I have always had a fascination with small bore centerfire, never have even had the pleasure of holding one of the early ones like the .218 BEE or .17 Hornet. The closest I got was the rimfire stuff, but the rimfire stuff did teach me why these calibers ultimately were not popular... Had no idea how susceptible to wind those light bullets are. I for one would love to see this one at the range👍, I never took the leap into the small bore centerfire, but they still fascinate me.😁

[@cw2a]

Savage made a "walking rifle" a few years back. Reminiscent of this one. Thanks for the visit!! 🤘🏼🙏🙏❤️‍🩹

[@tacosandfrenchfries4561]

Really nice. How cool it was your Grandfathers that is awemone.

[@cw2a]

Thanks brother!! ❤️‍🩹🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸❤️‍🩹

[@luvtahandload7692]

Very nice old classic gun. Hornady just put out some new factory loaded ammo for 218 Bee. I scored a few boxes. 😊

[@cw2a]

Last stuff I saw was 75$!!! Ouch!! I just pulled and annealed all my brass!!

[@thorsaxe5881]

For small to medium game the 218 Bee is a fantastic cartridge also a lot of fun to shoot. in a lot of ways it fits the bill for hunting where there is limited range where you probably are not going to take a shot more than 150 yards, however, you want the stopping power that offers more than rounds that are less powerful than it provides. great gun to have while trapping and you don't want to destroy fine valuable pelts. Nice Old classic firearm. - Dave

[@cw2a]

Ya do not see them often. Esp a deluxe! Thanks for the visit!! 🤘🏼❤️‍🩹🙏❤️‍🩹🤘🏼

[@StevenMMan]

This is one that I am in 💯 agreement with. This is a very special rifle even if one discounts the family treasure aspect. The cartridge is cool and chambered mostly in the at the time popular leveractions. Making this treasure some what a rare bird gaining in desirability today. Grew up with little gal who took her first buck with her grandfather's lever 218 Bee.

[@cw2a]

That was a M65 no? Great 92 variant!! 🇺🇸🤘🏼🙏🤘🏼🇺🇸

[@StevenMMan]

@cw2a I pretty sure you have the correct model # however I'm not positive . Wait the 65 is a fancier grade long barrel short magizine tube 94 30-30 32 win sp? Much like the model 71 in .348 win is in styling. Also a great cartridge the 348 winchester.

[@StevenMMan]

Crap I don't like to admit my memory fails me. The of the M94 I referenced is the model 64. In my best Maxwell Smart imitation impression... missed it by that much 😕

[@cw2a]

Hahah. No worries!! Winchesters 64 was to the 1894 same as the 65 was to its 1892! ❤❤❤

[@BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

@@cw2a your welcome

[@ChrisFromThe740]

Good Evening CW

[@cw2a]

Hello there!👍🏼🤘🏼🙏🤘🏼

[@jamespollard1670]

The 223 kinda put the 218 and Hornet out to pasture.

[@cw2a]

And the 221,222 & 222 Magnum... Afternoon James!! 🇺🇸🙏🤘🏼🙏🇺🇸

[@tripplebeards3427]

Man, I need one of those! I bet you the bee is probably more inherently accurate than the hornet just because it’s got a more pronounced shoulder on it?

[@cw2a]

They both shoot very well. They HS off rims.

Nice piece! Don’t make ‘em like that anymore. Getting board with all the plastic, excuse me, polymer

[@cw2a]

[@user-em1th4ht7u]

How tight are your groups at 100 yards with this rifle? I have always heard others complain that these rifles will develop excessive headspace, any problems with this one?

[@cw2a]

It shoots well. Im gonna get it out on the range and do a video. Thanks! 🤘🏼🙏🇺🇸
