Taylors and Company Uberti Scout .22 LR 19″ Barrel
About this product
What is the Taylors and Company Uberti Scout .22 LR 19″ Barrel? It's a compact lever-action rifle chambered in .22 LR that replicates the classic 1873 Winchester design with modern manufacturing precision. This 37-inch overall length firearm weighs 5.90 pounds and features a 19-inch barrel that provides the ideal balance between maneuverability and sight radius for small-game hunting and target shooting. The chrome-plated receiver and walnut-finished hardwood stock offer both corrosion resistance and traditional aesthetics.
What is the Taylors and Company Uberti Scout used for?
The Scout excels at introducing new shooters to lever-action operation and handling rimfire ammunition safely. The .22 LR chambering means ammunition costs average $0.08 per round compared to $0.50 for centerfire, making it ideal for extended training sessions without breaking the bank. With its 19-inch barrel providing 1,250 fps muzzle velocity with standard velocity ammunition, it's equally capable for small varmint control within 75 yards.
How does the Taylors and Company Uberti Scout compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Scout offers faster follow-up shots through its lever action versus the bolt-action Stevens 334, but sacrifices long-range precision. While the Stevens 334 in .308 Win can maintain sub-MOA groups at 100 yards, the Scout's rimfire design limits effective range to about 100 yards maximum. For new shooters or those prioritizing rapid fire over precision, the Scout's lever mechanism cycles in under 2 seconds versus the 3-4 second bolt cycle time.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 5.90 pounds with an overall length of 37 inches and barrel length of 19 inches exactly. The length of pull measures 13.5 inches, fitting most adult shooters comfortably, while the 19-inch barrel provides a 16-inch sight radius from front blade to rear dovetail. The magazine tube capacity is 15 rounds of .22 LR, which translates to approximately 30 minutes of continuous shooting at a moderate pace.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for hunters needing stopping power beyond small game or those requiring precision beyond 100 yards. The .22 LR cartridge generates only about 140 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle, making it inadequate for deer or larger game where ethical shots require 1,000+ foot-pounds. Competition shooters needing sub-MOA accuracy should consider our Stevens 334 in .308 Win instead.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle, one 15-round tubular magazine, and basic owner's manual covering disassembly and maintenance. The manual includes specific torque specifications for sight adjustment screws (15-20 inch-pounds) and recommends cleaning every 500 rounds to maintain reliability. Unlike some competitors, iron sights come pre-installed and zeroed at the factory for 25 yards.
Is the Taylors and Company Uberti Scout worth it at $710.99?
At $710.99, it represents fair value for shooters wanting authentic lever-action feel without centerfire ammunition costs. Compared to centerfire lever actions starting at $900+, the Scout allows practicing mechanics for 80% less per round while maintaining the same manual of arms. For transitional training before moving to larger calibers or for dedicated .22 LR enthusiasts, the investment pays back through ammunition savings within the first 5,000 rounds.

- 19-inch barrel provides ideal balance between maneuverability and sight radius
- 15-round tubular magazine capacity – 50% more than typical bolt-action .22 LR rifles
- Chrome-plated receiver resists corrosion 3x better than blued finishes
Trade-offs

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .22 LR ammunition?
- Yes, it cycles all standard velocity, high velocity, and subsonic .22 LR ammunition from Federal, CCI, and Winchester. The tubular magazine accommodates rounds from 29 to 40 grains without modification, though I recommend standard velocity for best accuracy. Avoid hyper-velocity loads exceeding 1,400 fps as they can accelerate wear on the lever mechanism.
- Does it fit standard firearm safes?
- The 37-inch overall length requires a safe with at least 38 inches of clearance for proper storage. Most full-size safes from Liberty and Browning accommodate this easily, but compact vehicle safes may be too short. The 5.90-pound weight makes it manageable for transport in standard rifle cases.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 2 business days, with FedEx Ground shipping adding 3-7 days depending on destination. All firearms ship to your local FFL dealer, who will contact you for background check completion. We recommend contacting your FFL before ordering to confirm transfer fees, which typically range from $25-$50.
- Can I mount optics on this rifle?
- The receiver isn't drilled for scope mounts, maintaining its traditional appearance, but aftermarket solutions from companies like Skinner Sights offer scout-style mounts. These attach to the barrel and require removing the rear sight, adding approximately $75-$120 to your total cost. The 19-inch barrel provides adequate eye relief for scout scopes.
- Does this work with .22 LR suppressors?
- The barrel isn't threaded for suppressors, so direct attachment requires gunsmith work costing $150-$250. However, the 19-inch barrel naturally reduces report to around 120 decibels with standard velocity ammunition. For dedicated suppressed use, consider having a gunsmith thread the barrel to 1/2x28, the standard for .22 LR suppressors from SilencerCo and Dead Air.
