The contest has ended! Thanks to all who voted for me. You guys got me to 4th place, which means that my prize is a Pride Fowler 1-4x24 Rapid Reticle CQLR 30mm Rifle Scope . Although I don't have a weapon that needs this $1,100 scope, I'm sure that I can sell it to fund a scope for one of my other r...

Thanks for getting me to the 300 vote mark!

Still in 3rd place, but you guys are moving me forward.

Thanks a million!

I love power, but I just won't shoot anything that could cause me to develop a flinch. It just isn't worth it.

It is good to learn new things.

I love both of my Rossi M92's. As for cycling smoothly, neither was supper slick out of the box, but they did become quite smooth with much use. I never felt that I needed to send them anywhere to make them any slicker.

I would also recommend Steve's DVD to work on that extractor.

Good luck!

If I were in an urban survival mode, I don't think that my requirements would be any different than being in a backwoods survival mode. My criteria for each would be to have ammunition that matches both my rifles and handguns. With either a .44 Magnum or .357 Magnum levergun and a matching caliber h...

This looks to be a great auction coming up this Saturday. This is also an online auction, so everyone can play.

My brother-in-law won a perfect Colt 1911 (Vietnam commemorative) pistol last year in a Proxibid auction, for a third of it's real value.

This guy is absolutely amazing. This is not too far off topic, since he does show a lever gun for a short time.

I'm only seeing that model from Canadian sources... Does anyone know of a U.S. source?

Hmmm... Maybe that's why the OP described the distances in meters... Just a theory.

My Rossi M92 Puma chambered in .44 Magnum has eaten everything that I could feed it. My .357 Puma is a different story. When I first took the .357 Puma out of the box, I tried to feed it multiple brands of ammunition (I am not a reloader), and found that I could not feed any ammunition that was not ...

Fixed... Now with rifle data only!

gglass

I was able to run a filter on the ammunition data points and pulled just 20" barrel ballistics for the modern cartridges. None of the .357 Magnum data points had quite the numbers that you were able to chrono, but the chart is now more representative of real-world 1892 rifle ballistics. (You lo...

gglas's comparison chart above, uses rifle data for the older calibers while it uses pistol data for the newer calibers . This makes his chart pretty meaningless when comparing calibers in a carbine. Here it is modified with rifle data for the 38spl+P and 357mag from my chrono data in my 20" 3...

You cannot go wrong with the Rossi 1892 replicas. When Winchester left the 1892 market in 1941, Rossi and a couple other manufacturers stepped in to build quality rifles to fill the market void. Rossi has been building 1892's for a very long time, and they know what they are doing. Rossi does make a...

I posted this chart in another thread about the .357 Magnum and hunting. This chart show the average muzzle velocity and muzzle energy of the original Winchester 1892 calibers (except the 218 Bee) and the modern calibers. You can see that at least on paper, the .357 Magnum and the .32-20 are very cl...

Anyone telling you a .357 carbine is too small for hunting probably learned the art from playing video games.

If the above pics and stories don't convince your friends, then they might be persuaded by a nerdy chart.

Wow! I'm not sure that I would hang around with people who are (as described above) both rude and ignorant. I live in Indiana and as such, we can only use non-shotgun firearms that are chambered in pistol calibers. I use both of my Rossi M92 Pumas chambered in .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum. If either o...

These are my Rossi M92 Pumas. The more traditional model is chambered in .357 Magnum and is an outstanding target gun and plinker. The scoped model is chambered in .44 Magnum and is my Indiana legal deer gun. I absolutely love the light weight and nimble feel of Winchester 1892's. http://img192.imag...

I will jump on the peep sight bandwagon, but that does not answer the inertia question. I too find that larger heavier rifles are difficult to change direction or reacquire a target on the move. My answer has been the smaller and stronger Winchester 1892. I own three newer Rossi M92 Pumas chambered ...

I'm with you on the "Made in America" sentiment. My only problem there is that you cannot find a new Winchester 1892 rifle. After the 2009 Shot Show, Winchester sold a limited edition run of .357 Mag and .44 Mag 1892's, but good luck finding one. My only choices for an acquiring a new prod...

At the expected ranges listed, go with the .300 Win Mag... Don't be cruel.

So how could one tell if that rifle was a Winchester 1892 or 1894? The size and top eject just screams 1892 to me, but the 1894's came in the same configurations.

Yikes! Holy over-thinking Batman! Ease up guys. The heart shot target above was purely a Western movie analog that my son and I played out at the range. As we were sighting the Rossi 1892, we started talking about the Clint Eastwood movie "A Fistful of Dollars". We both took turns playing ...

IIRC, some of the Rossi.44 Mags were made with oversize bores, and aren't particularly accurate - although the price may be attractive. This is not the case with the newest Rossi 1892 Puma .44 Magnums. Mine is one of the "not so Western" scoped scout models and I cannot believe the accura...

I love my .44 Magnum Rossi M92. I have learned though, that I will never again shoot soft lead magnum ammunition through it again. I have NEVER had to spend so much time cleaning a barrel as that day. Just remember that 1700 fps and soft lead DON'T mix! http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/9482/rossimodel...
