Our Assessment: This Uberti-made Beretta Gold Rush carbine manufactured in 2006 is a compact, pump-action rifle chambered in .357 Magnum with a 20-inch round barrel and a case-colored receiver. The rifle wears a straight-hand wooden stock, a tubular magazine beneath the barrel in the classic pump action layout, and simple iron sights; overall finish and profile echo late-19th/turn-of-the-century Colt Lightning style pump carbines while keeping modern manufacturing tolerances.
On the range it delivers handgun-caliber handling: light recoil, quick follow-up shots, and ballistics comparable to a .357 handgun just out of a longer barrel, making it practical for close-to-moderate ranges, brush hunting, cowboy-action, and as a fun plinker using an easy to find caliber. This 2006 Uberti build blends period aesthetics with reliable modern production, straightforward to maintain, easy to shoot, and appealing to collectors who want a historically styled pump carbine without having to dirty up an antique.
