Uberti Model 66

Post by curan »

Hi all,

Well, I decided I needed something to shoot just for fun. And I heard lever actions are a lot of fun. Turns out they are!

The wood is nice, but has a couple of dings, and the engraving is a little worn here and there, but hell, I bought it to shoot it, so it's all good. And the action and feeding is as smooooooooth as.....

Plus it seems to hit what I shoot it at, and .22lr makes it cheap to feed, so it just gets better! :D :D :D :D

cheers, curan.
