Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 43 is a relatively little-known rifle compared to the company’s many legends, such as the Model 94 and Model 70. Manufactured from 1948 to 1953, the Model 43 was chambered for the 25-20 Win, 32-20 Win, 218 Bee, and 22 Hornet cartridges. This small framed bolt-action rifle is a perfect varmint rifle that is both accurate and reliable.
Watrous notes that Winchester first authorized the development of a new bolt action repeater with a detachable box magazine on May 31, 1944. Watrous also states that this model was to be developed as a junior Model 70 designed for smaller varmint-type calibers. This text alone might be responsible for it getting compared to the Model 70. Other than being bolt-action centerfire rifles, their designs are entirely different. If anything, it resembles a larger Winchester Model 69A .22 LR action, sharing many features from the rimfire, including the rear locking lugs.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
