What kind of terrain would you be hunting in? That would pretty much dictate what type of rifle you would use. Open country with longer distances I'd use the .243. For more wooded & swampy areas with shorter distances I'd use the .357 mag.

I'm at the point in my life (76) where I have to start selling off much of my sporting gear. So, I am interested in what the value might be of this revolver. I don't know the date at which I purchased it new (~ early 1980s), but can say there is no trigger lock hole & the cylinders are not...

Thanks to some persusive recommendations from members of this forum, I've decided to keep the 66-2. It's a gun that I really like and the desire for a longer bbl can be satisfied another way. Thanks to all for your comments, you've been helpful.

For some reason the PM was not received. Please try again.

Just yesterday I found out from one of the S&W forum members that it would cost about $100 for FFL transfer fees & shipment for me to execute a trade as I can’t use the US Post Office – I must use overnight UPS or FedEx. This was not anticipated when I first posted my desire to trade. This is...

I've wondered about the same thing with my S&W model 66-2. I'd prefer to have a 4" bbl instead of the 2 1/2" bbl

Sorry about the full PM box being full. Never expected so many PMs & emails. I've attached some pictures of my 66-2 as promised. Please note that the original S&W box is empty, without the protective foam(?) material. I've used the box for storing fly tyig materials. Also, I've looked...

I've been swamped with querries or offers of trade or sale. Frankly, I'm overwhelmed as I didn't expect this amount of response. This is far better than I expected. To those asking for pictures to be emailed, I will instead be posting pictures tomorrow on this site. This will be far easier as...

I bought the S&W Model 66-2 Stainless Steel 357 magnum new in 1981 and have been the only owner. I have the original box it came in, it is in excellent condition, but the internal protective material is no longer there as I've used the box for storage of fly tying materials. At my age (~69) I...

The barrel on my Model 66-2 is 2 1/2" long.

The 66-2 is in like new condition. Have fired perhaps a half box, if that, through it. I originally bought it for my wife for security, but now use it when bowhunting for bear and would like a longer barrel. I'm looking for either a 357/4-6" bbl or a 44 mag/5 1/2"-7 1/2" bbl. With the ammo I...

Thanks for your response. I just called a local gun shop & they don't sell bbls. They suggeted I find a gunsmith that may be able to buy bbls. Overall, not very responsive. Any recommended sources? Perhaps i'd be better offlooking into the Classifieds for a trade???

I have a S&W Model 66-2 357 Mag in stainless steel which I'm about to post.

Would you consider a trade for a Stainless Steel 357 magnum Model 66-2?

Hi to All! Glad to join your forum and to learn more about firearms from you. I'll post my first thread with a question. I have a Model 66-2, 357 Magnum in SS which has a 2 1/2" barrel length. I bought this for my wife many years ago. I now take it with my when bowhunting for bear and would...
