What is your honest opinion of the Rossi 92 .357? Do you have experience with one or any Rossi lever action rifles?
I want a lever action .357 with a 16 inch barrel. Marlin is ruled out... there currently isn't a gun I want more than a Marlin 1894 CP .357 but they go from about $1500 and up and I can't even get close to justifying that price. I purchased a Marlington 1894C .357 and it was horrible. It wouldn't even cycle .357 mag. So I got rid of it after getting it back from being repaired and haven't made another lever action move since then. (Unfortunately I sold my JM 336 to fund the 1894C )
I'm thinking Rossi because it's about the cheapest option, unless there's something I don't know? I can get a 16 inch barrel and .357 for about $450 new. I've seen them around $350 used. I've done quite a bit of research on them and the reviews are very mixed.. some say they're awesome, some say they're terrible. I've read that they need a lot of work to get them running smoothly and not jam. Which is fine because I enjoy working on my own guns. I've also seen several times that the feed problem is a result of Rossi using the same mag follower in .357's and .44's.
