Have a Marlin 1894CL in 218 Bee with a Leupold Alaskan 6X scope.

Anyone use the Bee for prairie dogs or rockchucks ?

Nope, but I have used one a lot for feral dogs and coyotes,, and it is a killing machine.


(When I was a kid my father used to tell me that God hated a coward, I finally realized he has even less use for a fool.)

That's got to be a good looking rifle with that scope on top.
I used a 22 Hornet for a few years for woodchucks back home in PA, with good results, with-in its range.
I now have two Martini Cadets in 218 BEE and would consider the BEE adequate for your purposes.
I'm in the process of finding the best loads for the BEE now. Have only tried 4227 powder, and want to use other powders like Lil-Gun and H-110; I have both powders on the shelf.
