Whether it’s small game you want to dispatch or targets you want to punch, Smith & Wesson has just brought back a K-frame revolver chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire that will make the job two tons of fun.
The stainless steel 8-round Model 648 features a six-inch barrel which, when combined with an adjustable rear sight should make this one very accurate wheel gun.
Here’s their press release . . .
