Uberti 22 hornet
Come across one of these the other day at the gunshop, nice little single shot, brass butt plate
and chambered in 22 hornet, they wanted $500 Aussie for it, anyone have one or know what they are worth?

What kind of action?
Round or octagonal barrel,length?
What kind of sights
Set up for scope?
Haven't seen one, hence all the nosey questions.

Several years ago a bought some Uberti rolling block pistols in 22 hornet and 357 Mag. Cute, but not very accurate. Could that rifle be using the same action as the pistols I had?
The pistols were about $100 US at the time. Hope this helps some.

If that is on the small rolling block action keep away from it.

yeh it was on a rolling block, had a round barrel, didnt look that old? open sights, pulled the hammer back, then a small door rolled back and the extractor came out with it, its just unusual to see that type of rifle over here.
Thanks for the help guys, I wont be buying it, still waiting for my SS #1 in 375h&h to come in, bloody things been sitting in customs for nearly three weeks, apparently they like screwing around and taking their sweet time when it comes to importing firearms,bastards [Mad]
