Uberti 66 in .22 Magnum arrived today!.

Post by gamekeeper »

My Yellow Boy came today, its like new, cost $486 and it functions just fine, I even got to shoot a couple of rounds. Sorry the photo ain't too good (it looks much better in the flesh), I had to use the one on the advert as Photobucket refuses to upload from my camera.
All I have to do now is apply to the Police to put it on my FAC, which could take a couple of months.. :evil:

That looks nice and brings back memories of handling them in the mid70's when Navy Arms imported them in 38 Special. Dont remember what other calibers were available. How long till you get to wring it out? 3leg
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!

I'm doing the paperwork tonight and will take to the Police HQ tomorrow but I guess I won't get it in my safe for weeks even months. :roll: Anyway I have a brand new CZ in .22 WMR that I have to sell to pay for the Uberti.

I really enjoy my Uberti 66 in 22lr. Sweet little rifles, and very accurate to boot. :D

You might want to order a spare extractor to have on hand. Very prone to breaking.

I love the .22mag. I did not know they made a 66 in that caliber. I may have to get one.

Does anyone [Cimmaron, etc.] carry them over here? I've never seen one, and I've looked.

cimarron has them listed on their website.....in the past availability was hit or miss.
22 and 22 wmr have been offered in the 66 and the 73, in various barrel lengths, etc.
