I have a 336 Cowboy in 30-30 that I dearly love, an 1895 Ltd. IV (#911) that is a pleasure to carry, an 1894C converted to PG by Marlin before the buyout and a 35Rem 336 that I rebuilt for my nephews to learn to hunt with. My pre-safety Winchester 94AE Trapper/Wangler in 45LC is fun, but I waited 12 years to find it and it's one of those guns you hesitate to take to the range for fear of "dinging" it. My other 94AE and 94/22's hold the same concerns and I can't seem to shoot them as well as the Marlins or this Rossi for some reason. Sylvia's 1894Ltd 357Mag WAS the #1 "Go-To Fun Gun" in the safe until I picked up this Puma on trade!!! Took Sylvia and the Rossi to the range again today and I just couldn't seem to miss those water filled plasitic soda bottles!!! The action even felt smoother today after an evening of cycling the lever last week!!!
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm PLEASANTLY surprised at how happy I am with this "Low Budget" levergun that isn't supposed to be on par with the Winchesters or Marlins. The fit and finish is very good and as far as I'm concerned, it may spank 'em in the pure shootability and FUN department!!! You might want to try one out if ya haven't already done so or you thought they wouldn't be worth your time!!! You may be in for an enjoyable ride!

Who'd a Thunk It?!?!?!?!?
Thanks for letting me ramble on....I'm still a little excited!!! I'll post pics when the (Low Budget) EAA Bounty Hunter arrives to keep this levergun company (should be here in a few more days!!!) If this revolver shoots as good as this levergun, my S&W, USFA's and Ruger's in 45LC are gonna have some competition for range time!!!
(ETA...) Here's a horrible pic I took today while finishing up the film in a cheap disposable camera...
