Rossi m92 38/357 lever rifle
Just dialed the 357 M92 in this morning. Used 158 grain Freedom Munitions remanufactured fmlfp. No malfs, smooth feeding, throws brass straight up and over your head landing 5 feet to the rear.
Best group was 3" at 100 yrds benched. I wanted to know the buckhorn ladder settings for 25, 50 and 100 yds. The following observations. From the ladder on the rear buckhorn, set on level 1 [ lowest notch which would lower the impact ] first. 50 yds, first notch up was hitting 3" low. 50 yds, second notch up, near dead on 100 yds second notch up, low about 3" 25 yrds, first notch up, near dead on 25 yds, second notch up, about 2" high 100 yds, 3rd notch up the ladder, 3" group about 1/2" low. Resolved to keep the ladder on the second notch up. At 25 yrds it'll be just under 2" high, dead on at 50 yrds and just about 3" low at 100 yrds. The last 10 rounds [ one tube mag worth ] off hand at 100 yrds snap shooting it, the group showed right at 6" for 10 rds. Came back and bore snaked it, brushed out the cartridge carrier area and wiped it down, then back in the safe. This one can put all rounds no farther than 3" high or low from POA out to 100 yrds using the second notch up on the ladder, and that's where it's going to stay. I'm very happy with this M92 Rossi. Anyone else have a pistol caliber lever rifle? Thoughts? I find this Rossi much lighter and handier than the 94 30-30's.

Except for cowboy, what is the advantage? I love my model 94 in 3030.

There's probably more advantage, but that will suffice for now. In fact I traded a 1958 94 with Lyman peep for the gun and 200 rds of ammo for this gun. I wouldn't shoot 1K 30-30 in 5 years. Presently, I've got 200 rds through this one and it's going to Ca. this weekend for another 200-300 hundred. More shooting, less safe sitting all around. Appreciate everyone/s thoughts. If you want a pic of the gun, google will bring up several pages of the M92 Rossi
