Rossi-R92!Just my opinion 👍

[@Nathan.44-40]

Great Review! I have been thinking of getting that rifle. Thanks for going through all of the specifics! 🇺🇸💪 👍

[@fmj8329]

Thank you!!for watching and commenting my friend, I'm really glad to help anyone make a decision before spending $$$

[@scottgraham1153]

I Bought the same gun for the same price. I Love it. It's shooting great right out of the box. 2''-3'' groups at 50 yards Standing, once I put it on the bench, I was getting 1''-1.5'' groups. I'll probably eventually ditch the buckhorn rear sights, but for now I don't think they are that bad. The fit and finish is really nice, and the action is smooth. I took a wooden rod and lightly flexed the loading gate simulating the loading process for a few minutes now it feels like I've loaded hundreds of rounds. These really are great guns for the price.

[@fmj8329]

💯 agreed 👍!yes they're very accurate my last group at 50 from the bench was around 1"-1"1.5 also with the dot,thanks for watching brother I really appreciate it

[@mikeking9777]

Same here, I have a skinner rear sight on mine. Love it.

[@ironhorse127]

I bought the same 16 inch model about 4 years ago. Paid $450 back then. Lol Even at $600+ now, they are a bargain. The wood on your rifle is quite a bit nicer than my rifle. I did refinish mine, and now its beautiful. I did have the same stiff, rough action initially. A full disassembly and a bit of polishing, and bam. It is slick as butter. Nice review. Enjoy the rifle. Just subscribed

[@fmj8329]

Thank you brother!! I really appreciate it, 👍 and yes like you said,for 600 they're still good to go specially with lever action prices today. The wood on it was very nice in my opinion for the money, but I also like the idea of refinishing it one day, that'll make it unique and personal 💯,thanks again for everything..

[@theoriginalOSOK]

Thanks for the great review! I own three of these in different calibers and barrel lengths - all blued though like yours. They all shoot really great. I can recommend them too!

[@fmj8329]

Right on!💯

[@alexandermaclachlan7404]

I have that same rifle in stainless steel. It shot great right out of the box!

[@fmj8329]

That's awesome brother! I really like this little rifle, but the sights didn't help this time.im enjoying the red on it for sure 👍

[@nicholaskuhl-w5b]

I’ve got two 92’s in 357 and no problems smooth as silk baby

[@fmj8329]

Good stuff brother!I'm having a blast with this one, getting smother every time 👍

[@dhession64]

I had the same problem with the sights on my R92. Using 158gr rounds helped (I used 125gr at first and was hitting two feet high at 25 yards with the rear sight all the way up, silly me) and it was worse at 50 yds. Pulling the elevator slide out helped a lot, but what put it right on target was 158gr 38spl+p RN lead bullets. Very little recoil and very accurate in my rifle. I had to use the 357 mags for deer, and I've taken two with it. One shot each with the Federal 158gr hunting loads (the name escapes me). The first deer left a red spray trail on either side of the path it took, and piled up about 50 or 60 yards away; the second one stopped sooner. Both were about 40-50 yards away. My state allows rifle rounds to be used in rifles now, so it's in a semi-retirement. I bought a Ruger GP100 about twenty or so years ago, so I have ammo compatibility between them when I take 'em both out into the field. If you shoot bare handed with the Ruger, get some replacement grips from Hogue, as the rosewood panels in the rubber grips causes some pinching between the rubber and the wood when you fire. If you wear gloves, you'll have no issues. I see that you have a video on the rail you used to replace the buckhorn sight. I'm rather fond of the original sights, so I kept 'em. I will watch your follow up vid. Well done, sir. Thank you.

[@fmj8329]

Thanks brother! I really appreciate you watching and commenting 💯...that's great to hear my friend, so far the red dot sight is doing very well on this little rifle and in my opinion more fun to shoot now but don't get me wrong I also really like iron sights when they work lol. It's nice to hear about the capabilities of this round for hunting, I've never hunted before but I would really like to have the chance one day with it. Thanks again my brother I'll catch you later 👍

[@jamesfenter916]

Got one no problem with the rear sight . Minor adjustment and came right in .. good for 100 plus yards

[@fmj8329]

That's awesome brother! And yes sometimes they're right or really close when you're lucky ,but not in my case with the elevator off i was shooting about 4 inches high at 25 I had the same problem with my Henry 22, I ended up putting a scope on that one.The only one close out of the box my Henry 30-30 so far.

[@Thorsson24]

[@joncooke9515]

Bought my Win model 94 30/30 in 1994, stamped 1894-1994 on the receiver, for $200. Modern lever crazy expensive

[@fmj8329]

The good old days! For 200 you may get some ammo today lol..yes prices today for lever action rifles are insanely high agreed 💯 👍

[@Aspen7780]

$600-$700 is what a brand new Marlin 336 should cost, not a Rossi. I do own this rifle in 45 Colt. It’s got a smooth action. No issues. The loading gate did start to loose its bluing. Not a big deal. I don’t care for the safety, but is small and not intrusive. I just ignore it and never use it as the rifle does have the old school hammer safety notch. The tall buckhorn rear sight is adequate, though a little weird. I’d rather have half buckhorn sights like on a Winchester 94.

[@fmj8329]

Great stuff brother! The sights didn't work for me so I went red dot on it, I would like to take a Hog with it someday so the red dot it's faster and better for low light situations, the prices on lever action rifles Today are crazy expensive so Rossi is a great option, not perfect but works fine for the price. 👍

[@IDontKnow-bb6mt]

Just bought one yesterday!

[@fmj8329]

You'll love it bro! A little rough at the beginning but with use it'll get smoother, for the price I think it's a great option.

[@stileshumphrey4195]

It’s a great price and good looking rifle, however, I think that top-injection would bother me but I might get use to it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@fmj8329]

Yes brother very nice for the price and so far Reliable, but it does ejects from the top so if you're trying to mount anything on the receiver it won't work but other than that I don't see issues with it 👍

[@paulkopacz5051]

I have the 16" Saddle ring carbine, same as yours but I have the ring and a larger lever loop. I agree that this is a great handling light carbine. It's just too much fun. However, if you happen to be a reloader and I am an avid reloader, you should examine your spent brass for a bulge near the head of the case. This is not desirable for reloaders because it causes a weak spot on the brass. I was able to modify a shell holder to force the brass deeper into the sizing die which removes the bulge but the weak spot is still there and this reduces the lifespan of the case. If you only shoot factory ammo, then this does not effect you. I did not get bulged cases with .38 Special or .38+P but I bought this for .357 Magnum specifically. It's just something that reloaders should be aware of and I like this carbine too much to get rid of it.

[@fmj8329]

Thanks!! for watching and commenting my friend, I really appreciate the information, I don't reload but I'm sure a lot of people out there do so thanks again for that. 👍

I have this same rifle that I got from my local shop in early 2020. Got it for about three hundred new, then the price shot up to double. I just bought a new stainless steel 454 Casull a couple of months ago from the same local shop. I can tell you I paid a lot more for it than I did for the 357 carbine. Either way, I love them. I have several videos on these rifles and if you get a chance check them out. I enjoyed your video by the way. sub'd too. 👍🏽

I have a small channel too - gave you a subscription. I have a vid on my channel about my 44 mag 16" and I put a rail similar to that on mine. I do recommend a lower red dot - I currently have a higher one.. it works good but I want a lower one. Or, I might just use the aperture sight that I put on it because that works great too!

Cuidate hermano y gracias por ver el video 🤙

[@scottgraham1153]

They have a spring kit you can get for this rifle. It helps control the ejection, and lightens the trigger. I think these are good guns for the money like you said. The tooling inside is or can be a little rough. But there are videos on how to properly polish the internals to make these rifles butter smooth. Another trick I have seen is to take it apart and put rubbing compound on the internals and work the action to smooth it out. But then you have to take it apart again and clean it up. Years ago these guns were a lot less money nearly half the price. But worth it if you had any gun smithing skills. These days the tooling and Quality Control has gotten better.

[@fmj8329]

I was a little skeptical at first due to the price but now that I have it , I can tell you that's definitely great for the money even though ,it has all the tool marking on the inner parts but like you said it can be fixed or just work it until it gets there👍

@jonpetry7314 I'm trying to do the same but a 24" to leave it classic my friend, and when it comes to guns in general I'm not an expert but inside that tube you only have a spring that's supposed to push back against those rounds not allowing that many rounds to go in,it'll probably be a week spring or shorter than needed ,that's why you are able to feed that many easily ,now my question is how those it feeds??
