Magman1: I have a pair of Rifles in caliber 218 Bee.
I use them for Colony Varmint shooting.
One is a Ruger #1-B single shot with the 26" semi-heavy/sporter barrel and the other is a Kimber 82-B with 24" barrels.
I highly recommend both as they both shoot VERY well.
You will have to look on the used market for these models as I think they are no longer offered new.
I have had a couple of bolt action Winchester Model 43's in 218 Bee and accuracy was so-so - don't currently own one.
I am NOT sure if anyone now makes Rifles in 218 Bee.
Good luck in your quest.

I also have a Kimber 82 single shot bolt action in 218 B. It’s an accurate fun prairie dog rifle. I had a Ruger #1 in 218 B, it was not very accurate.
There’s usually some of these for sale on gun broker and guns international..

I have an engraved Martini Cadet in 218 Mashburn Bee (which your standard cartridges would fire well in) with a target barrel, a couple sublime pieces of walnut and a good scope. Not something you purchase just to burn cartridges in, but I can't keep it forever if you are looking for a top shelf piece.
