Back in the late 60’s and 70’s there were not many deluxe .22 that truly were proportioned to mimic full size hunting rifles for familiarity and practice. Beretta made them for Weatherby first in Italy then Howa or SKB made them in Japan. The latter may be actually the best build quality. They featured a take down feature with no tools. The triggers were a little spongy but useable and the guns very accurate for the day. Mine stayed under 2” at 100 yds with no wind and ammo it liked. Mostly it was 3-4” groups with the crappy stuff. I had 5/10 shot mags. There was a tube mag version too.

- Not really, pretty wood and big rifle proportions. - WB, 2020-05-05, 06:38
