I would love to have a 218 that new. I like the round. It's deadly on Coyote out past 200 yards. Which is pretty much my limit with any cartridge. LOL
I don't know how accurate the serial number information for my rifle is.
According to what I found, my rifle was manufactured in the first year that the Model 43 was chambered in 218
Other information I found says that the rifle was greatly improved later in the production run, around serial number 16,500 I believe. Mine is serial number 2368 if I recall rightly. Serial numbers 1 through 6525 were produced in 1948
