Rossi Model 92 .44 Magnum

Thanks, again, everyone.

I am happy with the fit, finish, function, and accuracy on this rifle.

I am pretty sure that the dispersion was more me than the rifle. Those were the first three rounds I ever fired from it and that was offhand. I have hit everything I shot at with it.

I don't think it needs any action work. It is not stiff and I am sure that it will smooth out even more as I keep shooting it.

BerdanSS and az_imuth, those are nice looking rifles that y'all have, too.

I am a lever fan. I also have a Marlin 336 .30-30, a Winchester 94 .30-30, and a Marlin Golden 39A .22.

I am definitely going to get another R92 in .357. I want the octagonal barrel version of it. I like the way they look.

I believe that the .357 R92 would make a nice companion to my .357 Gaucho.

I fail to see how having a safety on a rifle could cost you a deer?

Most lever guys aren't used to a safety. You see your shot, you back the hammer, you squeeze the trigger and CLICK, then you watch your deer run off. This has happened to me, I don't see the need for a safety on a lever gun nor do I want to debate that fact. If you're one that thinks it needs one that's fine with me. Half cock has worked for me for a lot of years.
 
Those tang safeties are one of the reasons I wouldn't buy a new Winchester 94. I also think the half cock is perfectly adequate.

It wasn't intended to start a "debate" on the topic. It just seems that if someone presents themselves as being intimately familiar with their firearm, they will know whether it has a safety, or not. If that person doesn't want the safety, then by all means, set it to the "fire" position as soon as you chamber a round. I don't care if leverguns "always" didn't have safeties, if YOUR levergun does, then you should be familiar enough with the gun to turn it off.
This is not to say that people don't forget... I forget things frequently.:o But, if gun safety is important enough that you ALWAYS check the condition (loaded/unloaded), safety (on/off), direction the muzzle is pointed.... I assume you do all these things, right? Then if you forget to change the state of the safety, it is not the fault of the firearm..... so the safety didn't cost you a deer, your forgetfulness did.
Personally, I don't like safeties on leverguns, but they are not a deal-breaker for me. :rolleyes: I can work with them just fine. It's just one more item to check off on that checklist when hunting...
