Winchester Model 43 Rockchuck Hunt with a .218 BEE and .22 HORNET

Seriously, what is more fun than hunting varmints with classic rifles, chambered in classic cartridges?  When it comes to hunting, there is NOTHING that tops it!  At times you have to deal with sticky bolts, 8-9 pound trigger pulls, stocks that are lacking on the ergonomics and even optics that are from a day where fixed power was the thing to have.  Earlier this year, we got to go on one of those hunts.  This time, it was both of my Winchester Model 43 rifles, in .218 BEE and .22 HORNET!  Talk about a classic combination! 

For years, I have stated that the .218 BEE and the .22 HORNET were the most fun cartridges ever made.  Light recoil, but a nice "sting" out to 250 yards (did you see what I did there ;-) ) on smaller varmints, there are only a handful of centerfire .224 caliber cartridges that are actually a joy to shoot.  These two top the list for me!
