While buying .38Spec ammo on Wednesday I noticed that there was a Rossi Lever Action rifle in stock that took my eye because it was quite short barreled. I just checked with the Gun Shop and it's an M92 Trapper, 16" barrel in .357/.38, SS not blued (still looks very cool though).
I have always had a lusting for a pistol caliber lever-action (Winchester Yellow Boy type saddle gun) and this one looks to fit the bill.
How do these rate alongside say the Uberti Yellow Boy, Marlin etc?
The Rossi is half the price of the Uberti over here in NZ.
Any Pro's and Con's for either?
Target shooting, not hunting.
Will it chamber Wad-cutters or SWC OK, or are they better used with Round Nose?
