This one's in .218 Bee. In power level, that's about halfway between a .22 Hornet and a .223 Winchester.

The Model 65 is essentially a Model 92 with a half magazine and pistol grip style stock.

With a scope, I'd imagine this thing would be a pretty good head hunter on prairie dogs and the like out to twice that distance. Are there scope mounting systems for something like this? Only problem is that it's almost a straight up ejection, only slightly to the right. Not sure if that would cause problems with a scope.

I know they used to put precision peep systems on these, back in the day, drilled and tapped into the receiver. Lyman and such.
Fine weapon, my uncle had one in 25-20 he used to hunt deer......
You really know how to turn people green, doncha.
Nice shooting. I have a Browning M53 32-20 that shoots as well as my eyes allow... I have considered having it drilled and tapped to install a Marbles tang peep sight.

Beauty! Currently converting an early 92 to 218 bee, phenomenal round for it's age and one heckuva gun!
