Anyone know what year Winchester started to factory drill and tap
for 'scope mounts?

  I recently acquired this rifle chambered for 218 Bee. The receiver h is drilled for a one piece scope base. How do I go about finding such a base? The receiver has 3 holes drilled and taped. Should I take it to a gunsmith and have another hole drilled? Weaver doesn't list such an item.

  It would depend entirely on condition, but as the 32-20 is the rarest of the 43s even a rat is going to be pricey. I kind of watch the auctions for 43s, and I haven't seen a 32-20 ever on them. I suspect one in half decent shape would bring in excess of $700.00-$800.00.
  But that's just a guess, because they are so rare. You see the .218 and the .22 Hornet mostly.
