Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 43, produced between 1948 and 1953, may not enjoy the same widespread fame as the company's more iconic models, like the Model 94 or Model 70, but it remains a noteworthy rifle, particularly for those in search of a high-quality varmint gun. Chambered in .218 Bee, the Model 43 was designed as a small-framed, bolt-action rifle, ideal for varmint hunting and small game. Its 24-inch round tapered barrel ensures a good balance between accuracy and handling, while the blue finish gives it a classic, refined look. The rifle also features a hooded bead blade front sight, enhancing accuracy in the field. Adding to its precision, it comes equipped with a Bushnell Sportview 4x, 32 scope, making it even more effective for longer-range shots.

The one-piece smooth walnut stock of the Model 43 is simple yet elegant, offering a comfortable hold and a timeless aesthetic that matches its purpose as a practical, reliable hunting rifle. The rifle operates on a bolt-action mechanism, known for its smooth cycling and durability, ensuring that the Model 43 performs reliably even under demanding conditions. Though Winchester intended this rifle to be a junior version of the Model 70 for smaller varmint calibers, its design is fundamentally different. It bears more resemblance to the Model 69A .22 LR action, sharing certain elements such as the rear locking lugs, which help to create a unique feel when cycling the bolt. The detachable box magazine and small caliber options make it a great choice for hunters looking for precision and effectiveness in a compact, easy-to-handle package.
