Due to a sudden death of my aunt this fall that shook us all, my uncle decided to give me the most memorable gift I've ever received for Christmas. He walked out of his gun room a couple days before Christmas and set a rifle box on the counter with a box of ammo and said to me "Well seen as myself or anything of my siblings are probably not going to live that much longer I feel this should go to the person who I know will enjoy it the most." One wave short of tears I shakily took the box and just stammered "thank you this means the world to me." A hundred times
As a lefty shooter I own nothing but pretty top shelf firearms but nothing can compare to the place this holds in my heart.
A Marlin 1894CL chambered in 218 Bee. My grandfather bought it new in 1990. The year I was born. It is in 99% new condition a has maybe 15-20 rounds through it. I have an old mid 80's vari x 2c 3x9x40 that I put on it. It just felt fitting.
My grandpa had this and one other 218 bee when I was growing up and I always thought that they were such a cool cartridge. I have always wanted one and never thought I'd get the honor to have one of his.
I just think it's a neat long range varmint cartridge of yesteryear. Who else has a Bee?!!
