I just picked up a Rossi 92 in 357 a couple months ago. Mine was rough out of the box, but has slicked up very nicely just working the action watching TV. Accurate, light, easy to carry and hits hard. I like AR15's, but love leverguns. My vote is for a 357.

Lansing area Jerry. I have heard Interarms are a better finished rifle than the Rossi's. I still just like an oil finish.

This is nothing but removing the stock Rossi dye, and numerous coats of 20+ year old boiled linseed oil. The first few were thinn...

Some years ago at an AR15 site was a shooting challenge by a gunsmith for all the people who post one great group off a bench, but really can't shoot. I am not by any means claiming to be one of those who can shoot, but the challenge was holding 10 rounds off hand at 50 yards on a grapefruit. Hence ...

. I like that nice fiddleback figure in the buttstock; but I've never heard of pre-soaking a wood stock in hot water before applying a finish - could you please expand on the why & wherefores ? . The dye that Rossi uses in the stocks appears to be water based and not very durable. Just with per...

ethang, that's a great lookin rifle with your magic touch applied to it. I've got a blue 20" LSI Puma in .45COLT, & which BTW, I also slicked up using Steve's DVD, now that Michigan's opened their shotgun zones to my rifle, I'll use it this season. My brother's work buddy bought 35 acres i...

Looks like you did a fine job on the wood & got a good shooter to boot!! after 6 years & thousands of cast bullets later I can still say I like my Rossi in 45 colt ollogger I have a 24" older 45 Colt also. I like it, except for the unregulated metric sights. That one I bought Steve's v...

In light of the lack of lever gun posts might I share my newest rifle. Picked it up from Buds last month. I wanted a stainless 16" but waited too long and ended with a blued 20. It was rough out of the box as Rossi's tend to be, wouldn't feed more than 2 rounds in the magazine tube, but shot to...

I picked up my 20" today. I ordered it with both eyes open having owned a 45 and reading everything I could on them. Not as thrilled with mine as you were. My stock is rather orange and the dye tends to rub off on my hands. It refused to load more then two rounds before getting stuck, loading g...

your post pushed me over the edge. Dropped the hammer on a 20" 357 today. I had trouble deciding between the compactness of a 16, and the balance and shootablility of a 20. Decided a 20 would be a bit quieter and went with it. I am going to put my 24" 45 Colt up for sale to pay for this on...

I have been on the fence with one in my cart for a month now and just have not bought it. I have been thinking I need
to sell a rifle I don't use before I buy this one. If they are coming that well put together maybe I should just go ahead.

ethang

BTW, early ones might or might not have issues, heard the later ones are coming better. Either way, once ironed out this is a very fine piece. Lots of discussions over on some of the other forums with good load data and results. I am really liking mine.

ethang

I have mine in an old Ted Blocker and had a Lobo Gunleather holster made up for mine. No issues with fit at all. I have a Galco Three Persons and other than the longer barrel on my Seven it fits great. The only difference size wise is the un-fluted cylinder, so possibly some very tight fitted holste...

Ruger Single Seven.... Full 327 magnum if you need it, 32 Mag or 32 Long for edible animals. Light, accurate, inexpensive to reload, IMO the perfect trail pistol if you don't have bears where you are.

ethang

Give it a good 500 or so cycles while your watching your favorite tv show before your next outing. Then as others have said, give a a really good shot of oil and try some better ammo. See if that doesn't cure the problem.

ethang

Try the 100 grain 327 loads from Federal. They have shot the best so far in mine.

Screaming little things. Very loud and overkill for anything short of a coyote or jackrabbit, but they are really fun when you touch one off. I am curious about how well the soft points will penetrate.

I will ditto the LMT recommendations. Yes Colt is the benchmark and builds fine rifles. Many other makes are building good rifles also. I have a Colt target rifle, and a LMT, and my work rifle is a S&W. I have the most rounds downrange with the LMT and it just plain runs.

ethang

Mine seems to shoot better with every round through it. Hope yours does as well.

You stags look pretty good on the Seven. Since I choose poorly in the job dept and can't afford real ivory I like paper micarta on mine.

Very nice collection BenT love the Ruger single six....sevens...nines and tens........ I don't get the 327......when the 38/357 will do just fine... Whats the difference ? If you could get a 38/357 on a Single six frame I would agree with you.. the 32 Mag/327 on a Single six frame is the cat's meow...

Got the call that mine arrived today! :D Will try to pick it up as soon as I can, and will post pictures and a range report a soon as possible thereafter! :D :D :D The cylinder gap on mine was fine (see the pics) . The brushed stainless was the same quality as my Blackhawk. The only issue was that ...

Just a few weeks ago at a Church in Detroit a mental male with a hatchet attacked several members of the church. An off duty officer engaged him and was struck several times. A responding unit also engaged him and put an end to the matter. Church or not, you never know when the flag is going to go u...

This is one minor detail of the Emergency Services in the City. And still we are labeled as greedy, union employees sucking form the public tit.

I am going to disagree with those who say not to get one. I had a 4506 no dash when they first came out and have spent years looking to replace it. I now have a -1 with the rounded trigger guard. In my experience, and in nearly everybody I know who has shot them, they are wonderfully reliable. Both ...

Weber Gold for me here. Smoking, grilling, pan frying, used it last weekend to cook a rhubarb pie, it does it all. Since I got it last year I have not even fired up the old propane grill. I use a Thermapen for temps, but plan to get either a Maverick or the similar probe thermometer for long cooks. ...

They are great carry everywhere guns, or carry guns when you really don't want to carry a gun, gun. It is not my first choice for an EDC piece but it does fill a spot.

I miss my Glock. Just can't warm up to this M&P, and like you I despise the 40 cal. It's good you got your choice.

Michigan has had this change in the law tied up now for years. As I understand it the DNR is against the change because of problems enforcing it. Now in the shotgun zone you can use ML rifles and straight walled pistols, but not pistol rounds in a rifle. Makes no sense at all.

Some folks are just naturally gifted. Miculek is one of them. I watched a show on TV one time where he and another famous shottist were trying to out do each other on trick shots.

There is something special about just roaming around in the wild with a good rifle and nothing particular about the walk. Looks like a nice time you had there.

Nice rifle. I have shot a right hand percussion for years as a south paw, both with and without glasses. Works just fine. CVA should have some load data on their website.
