I don't understand your need to ditch the 357mag. Is it a case of needing money or is it just a desire to par down and concentrate on fewer calibers? If selling off is a financial necessity, then your idea is sound if you truly don't want a 357mag. If it's just to avoid the hassle of another caliber...

Yea, but they are a 'restoration' house so they feel that they can charge more.

Hands down receiver mounted peeps are the most practical in my opinion. Not if you are trying to overcome the effects of poor eyesight. Then the tang sight is best because to gain the maximum Depth of Field (DOF) you have to get the tiny aperture as close to your eye as possible. I've even used the...

Welcome! Leverguns were designed for iron sights, be they buckhorn barrel mounted, receiver peeps, or tang mounted. A scope on a levergun is really out of place in my book and really makes for an ugly carry handle.

As another one living in a large western state, Fred's point is well taken. Animals are usually sighted at long ranges here. Shooting from a blind or tree stand is virtually unheard of out here too. So the decision one has to make is 1) are you going to hunt up close to it or 2) are you going to try...

That Rossi Customer Service number is to the Braztech group and maybe they are better than the Taurus/Rossi group.

LOCTITE® 426 PRISM Black Max Gel Instant Adhesive is part of their industrial adhesives and not a consumer product so you'll need to look a bit harder for it than just Home Depot.

Lest ye all think me a blasphemer, I said I do shoot my middy mostly with the iron BUIS. Ever since early last year when I got my two Rossis and put the tang sight on my 24" rifle, I've really come back to the iron sights. I'm amazed what I can still do with them. :D http://img.photobucket.com/...

They're used for the Rossi 'scout' scope mount. The problem is, according to no less than FIVE local 'gun stores', "they don't make them", and "you can't get them". :evil: :evil: :evil: I know better, but haven't been able to snag one. Yet, anyway... The Rossi mount is simple to...

I called Hodgdon's tech support line 2 weeks ago to ask about their new Leverevolution powders. During our discussion, I also asked about the lifespan of powder when it's stored correctly (original container, 65°-70°, low humidity, out of the sunlight) and the tech told me that their spherical ball ...

I had spend days researching for just the right plinking load and settled on 8 gains of Unique over a 240 gr Xtreme plated bullet. I thought this would be a nice mild load , but after checking Alliant's reooaders guide I found it calls for a max of only 7 gr for a 240 gr LSWC??? This seemed odd as ...

Looks like about $51 from Numrich Gun Parts, however, they are currently out of stock.

You could also call our own 'Nate' (actually Steve) of Steve's Gunz and see if either he has one or a Rossi repo hammer will work.

Replacing a duplicate is a breeze that you can do yourself.

Welcome, you'll find a this a nice place to visit.

They are still plenty accurate at 250 and 300yds and they are well under supersonic at those ranges.

What would we categorize the Rossi Model 92 series of leverguns over the past few years? Just asking, for the purposes of this discussion. That question could start an argument, but I will throw in my 2 cents worth, anyway. This brand seems to be either loved or hated. I think maybe the newer ones ...

I disagree on using only magnum primers.I use both standard or magnum and find no difference although I am sure there is a difference.I just don't see any evidence of it. Stan in SC I use standard primers as well, and prefer powders like 2400 and AA#9. While std primers also make the round go bang,...

Like most, I say get a Rossi .357mag for the wife, start her on mild 38spl loads and let her work up to hunting level 357mag. If she wants better sights, get her a receiver peep and 1/16 bead front sight for it. They are easy to install and the accuracy increase is significant over the std barrel mo...

I had just about decided to pull the trigger on a .357mag Uberti '73 Special Sporting (engraved, pistol grip) 24" or maybe even 30" for my 63rd b-day coming up quickly on the 8th. I called Nate to ask him about the correct height Lyman 17A globe front sight to order along with a 'Creedmoor...

I can't even begin to pretend to understand the struggle you've gone through. May God speed her full recovery.

44mags and 357mag leverguns love Hodgdon H110 powder. It's the best slow burning powder to give you max velocities from your levergun. Be sure to use a magnum primer and you'll be set.

You WILL see the front and rear sight and the target clear as a bell. The difference is a astounding!!

But the reason isn't black magic, just simple optics ..... small aperture = long DOF.

Yep, the plastic parts were gone early. I also carefully scribed and then narrowed the metal front sight a bit for a thinner, more precise blade. I shoot it all the way out to 200yds and if the wind isn't blowing, it shoots pretty straight. However, a medium wind can blow the bullet 2 ft either way ...

Darned if I can find my way back to it to be sure, but I think I saw data for it with Hodgdon LeveRevolution powder..

For me I don't think it's a matter of my interests changing so much, rather I like to have variety. I get tired of shooting the same thing all the time. I got hot on a black rifle kick some years ago and then I got hot on leverguns. Same with handguns. Recently, I've taken a renewed interest in my b...

It sounds to me like all the posters are really saying that 'best value' is better than 'best price'. I couldn't agree more, however, that doesn't necessarily mean that one needs to buy the most expensive item, even at a good price. I'm more drawn towards items that are best/good values rather than ...

I've got to agree with your color choice Griff. The blued leverguns, worn or not, look real to me while the stainless steel, while practical, just don't look right to these eyes.

Look at the chart below and you'll note that the .44 mag in a levergun actually has more recoil energy than a 170grn 30-30. As others have said, if she wants to hunt with a levergun, then your wife is really looking for something in the .357 mag range, however, that will restrict her to under 100yd ...

Yep the M1 Carbine is much better than a handgun but comparing it's 110grn bullet at 1950fps (929lb/ft ME) to my .357mag Rossi carbine's 158grn bullet at 1825fps (1,164lb/ft ME) makes it a simple call as the Rossi has significantly more ME (25% more) which is why it's a tossup for me in a HD role.

Actually, I have two 10/22s and now they just sit unused. For a ton of fun these days, my little Henry carbine gets the nod. It is just a hoot to shoot and because it's a levergun, I find I get the same enjoyment shooting only about 1/3 the ammo. In fact, I'm considering getting another Henry but th...

By the time you buy Steve's video/parts kit and peep, the Rossi is not a good deal unless that's what I want.

I'm more of the one target and one hunting load for each weapon rather than just by caliber. In ARs, my 20" rifle shoots 68grn Hornadys over TAC exclusively while my 16" middy runs 55grn Hornadys for shorter range targets and 62 grn Hornady's for field work. In my 357mag cowboy guns I shoo...

Dillon spray lube is what I've been using for years and I'm really happy with it. I resize, decap, and trim my .223 brass in 1,000 case batches. On the other hand, Hornady One Shot is problematic for most people who try it.

Isn't that awfully expensive for plain lead bullets? $200 per thousand!

Fine, but you're still talking about loads that exceed the manufacturer's recommendations and that is what I stated. Yes, you can shoot hotter loads in pistols and get away with it but that's because you're relying upon the design margin built into the gun, not complying with it's designed use. To s...
