Beautiful, Rick! I love how so many of these 65s are still in nice condition…at least the ones I see up for sale….but I guess that’s why they’re for sale….all the others are still killing deer somewhere!

Thanks Tony and Steve. Some collectors aren’t into the later models but the 218 BEE is scarce here and wouldn’t see another in this condition. 

  

Rick-

I’ve always suspected the Model 65 in 218 Bee was a special project for someone at Winchester. I feel the same way about the Model 71. Maybe I need to review that Winter 2016 Collector. Same approximate time period. Hmmmm.
