    Unexpected Uberti.

    While waiting to do a PPT (Thanks Ninja2008250r!) I saw this lil' fella on the wall and had to take a closer look.

    Uberti 1871 Rolling Block .22



    Fell in love and added it the DROS. Looks like a lot of fun; will probably end up replacing the sights (not a fan of semi-buckhorn rears) with this sight set from Taylor.

      P-shooter is right. It's delicate little thing, but shoot be a hoot to mess around with. Maybe the tang sight is over kill for such a little thing... now I'm thinking a Skinner peep sight might be a better option.

        The style of that rifle cries out for a Tang Sight. Minature "Quigley Down Under". Besides it gives a longer sight radius, more accuracy.

            Nice little rifle; you'll have a lot of fun with that.

            I, too, like the tang sight.
            People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.

                  Not enough meat on the receiver, unless they make one that can fit in the existing dovetail for the rear buckhorn.

                  The tang sight is a straight install using the existing screw holes.

                        Very cool little rifle.
                        a great way to get a little more time and fun out of the now more expensive 22 ammo.

                        I like the looks of that Taylor sight set, 10 or more sight options should keep you busy testing and smiling for a while.

                          Nice....Would love to check it out when it's done.
                          We need to get a 22 rifle CL range day going this fall,
