Marlin 1894 in .218 Bee?
« on: December 22, 2008, 02:27:32 PM »
I believe they made a run of these again in the early 90's? Someone said they were making new ones again, but not sure. How do  they shoot? Thanks.

I bought one in the mid 80s.  It is no tack driver, but with 2 inch groups, it shoots minute of prairie dog out to about 250 yards.  It has been a  fun rifle (much higher rate of fire than my bolt guns) when the young, dumb ones are emerging, so I keep it handy on our trips to the p-dog pastures.

After I posted, I started thinking, and I used a Marlin 25 in 22 mag for my in close gun the first few years,  I traded that on the Bee, so it had to be into the 90s when I got it.

I don't know for sure about the availability of these.  I am fairly sure a few were made.  What I do know for sure is that I wish I had one. :)

I don't have a .218 Bee but I did get a .25-20 not too long ago. They were made back in the late 80 and early 90s. Nice little guns.
