Going to a gun shop to hopefully look at a Rossi R92, 24in octagon barrel in 357 mag. I'm guessing its used based on the price $650.
My primary concern is the twist rate. 1:30. I am hoping to shoot subsonic, I hand load, as my son does not like the supersonic crack. I am concerned at the low speeds, it may not even stabilize 158s, let alone the 180-200s I was hoping to use.
Is $650 used a reasonable price?
And for my 13yr old son to deer hunt, is all the extra weight up front with a 24in octagon going to be a problem.
I tried to track down A henry round barrel but they are no where to be found locally, and $1100 plus shipping and transfers on gunbroker seems rather steep.
