    You (and everyone else) are quite welcome. I truly enjoy the research, and writing the many articles I have written in the past several years for "The Winchester Collector" magazine.

    In addition to the Model 1894, I have researched the Models 43, 53, 55, 64, 65, and 71.

    I have a soft spot for the 22 Hornet cartridge, so I added the Model 43 to my research survey list.

    The Model 70 in 22 Hornet is overkill, and not a handy rifle to use when exterminating Squeaks & Prairie Dogs. The Model 43 is perfect for the task.

    p.s. I bought another 200 rounds of the 45-grain Remington HP today from an estate (for $15 a box). I currently have 500 rounds ready for the next varmint trip.

    yes i agree about the 43 being handy, but how is the long term durabilty compared to say a cz 527 in .22 hornet? i have seen 43,s rechambered to K-hornet to correct headspace and broken bolt handles. alec hoyer said he though the 43 was a over grown win 75.22rf action and not up to snuff for the .22 hornet. i have one in .218 bee and it shows no signs of headspace after quite a bit of use in the last 50-60 years with factory and normal reloads. according to T.S. albert.

    My Model 43 22 Hornet rifle was manufactured in August of 1951 (62-years ago), and it still shoots like a dream. The headspacing is like the day it left the factory, and I can routinely shoot sub .5" 3-shoot groups @ 100 yards with factory ammo. The key to the longevity is avoiding hot reloads.
