Re: Proper bore size for a .218 Bee?

My Martini Cadet chambered in .218 Bee wears a CZ .22Magnum rimfire barrel. I purchased the barrel new, as the owner rebarreled his rifle to the .17HMR when that cartridge was introduced. I primarily use the Speer 45gn spitzer, but it shoots great with 35gn V-max and 40gn Winchester projectiles. It ...

My Winchester 9422M was my favorite - a beautifully made, accurate rifle. I let my wife carry it only once - she fell into a muddy ditch while hunting with it.

Kirby.

I'm sure it is just for fun... but I really find this constant "French" bashing by Americans to be in bad taste. I'm not meaning to denigrate Americans, as my father was rescued from a Jap POW camp in WW2 by US forces and he had the highest regard for the USA. But this "French bashing...

Kid, interesting marking on the barrel atop the trade mark. "The Stinger" was a common stamp applied to firearms distributed by a Brisbane, Queensland dealer here in Australia many years ago. Could be your rifle has had an interesting life - manufactured over there - imported here and retu...
