It is known for its relatively high velocities and ability to take down small game. The bore on this rifle is in great condition, so this rifle ought to still make for a good shooter. The Winchester 43 was introduced in 1949 chambered for three .32-20 family cartridges including .25-20 and .218 Bee as well as the .22 Hornet, a fast-handling bolt action rifle fed from a detachable box magazine. This example is a Deluxe model with a checkered walnut stock. It has its original iron sights, but the receiver is also factory drilled and tapped to mount a receiver sight or optic. Whether you're looking for a new varmint rifle or to round out your Winchester collection, this is a nice old rifle for any collection. Please see our photos and good luck!</span></p>
