Lever action .357

I have targets out back,some I hung for the winter,
others-steel gongs.
I shoot out of my upstairs bedroom window.
there were a handful of small branches:thumb size and smaller,
in the way of the targets
I shot them and cleared them out with my Golden boy
with surprisingly few shots
very accurate rifles-you'll love it.
 
When I bought my Rossi 92 in .357mag. I knew I'd have to do some work on It to get what I wanted. The rifle worked fine right out of the box with both .38's and .357's. I took It apart and cleaned It, polished the parts, installed a spring kit, and refinished the stock & forend. Also put marble sights on It there way better than the stock sights. In the end I have just what I wanted. A good looking .357mag. lever action rifle that's smooth and shoots every thing I've put in It (hp,sp,swc) very well. I paid $500.00 otd and put about $100.00 in parts to tune It up. For a total of $600.00 I feel like I got a good deal.

I have reservations about brass receivers. I suppose it stems from black powder and that brass frames on BP revolvers are prone to stretching.

Used gun racks are full of lever guns. I picked up a Marlin 1894, 44 mag. for about $250, in about 90% condition. Marlin has been making this style of rifle since 1894.
 
I have a NITB Henry Big Boy 357/38 special, never been fired except at the factory and have the tag that matches the Serial number dated May 2012. Anyone interested give me a shout before it goes on GunBroker. I will only strictly follow the letter of the law and will handle the transfer through my FFL holder at my expense to a verified FFL holder at the other end. Protects me and you from any BS.

If this does not belong here then I apologize and will remove this post.
 
Rossi 92

I too have a Rossi and I put a tune up kit in it from Steve Young out in TX and it is a sweet shooter. I also redid the wood and it looks like a million bucks now. A Rossi is hard to beat for the money but if you are going to scope it then go for the Marlin!
