Ok, I really do like the '92 action on the Rossi carbine but the rifle styling would have been better to me.
You see, when I started CAS in '90 I had a strong desire for a 44/40 Win 1873 rifle style but the first thing I saw at the gunshows were 1892's. I had a chance to buy a very nice condition original 38/40 rifle styled '92 for $312. I past it up because I really wanted an earlier impression and to load 44/40's, I eventually found my original 1873 and used BP from then on in all my cartridges. Years later, I regretted not having both but did not trust the Rossi quality in the early 2000's and originals had risen to high.
Oh well, if I ever do run across a Rossi rifle styling in 44/40 or 44 Mag or even a 357 I would most likely buy it, have fun, and then maybe have it changed to a 38/40 for more fun. Or I may just have to get a good condition original.
I no longer shoot CAS so it is all just for fun and experience.....
Thanks
