Another "What Rifle ?" thread....

They're not show pieces and can sometimes use a little tuneup

The nice thing about my Rossi is that I don't worry about it. I've got enough safe queens by now, thank you. With the Rossi I just tuned up the action (it helps if you are an amateur gunsmith) and just stick it in the truck in a cheap case. It's a 16" barrel stainless .357 in a nice dark hardwood. About the handiest rifle you can own, except maybe for a Contender Carbine. With iron sights it is not for precision shooting, obviously...

I think the .44 Mag is the cooler caliber, and a good idea if you have grizzlies in the back yard, but you can carry about twice as many .357's as .44's, and is nothing to sneeze at in a rifle-length barrel. I wish Rossi made them in .327 Fed Mag (sigh).

No trapdoor. Sorry, but it just doesn't look right without the trapdoor.

Armslist has a Rossi .357 for sale in Eugene if that interests you.

I'd probably consider a Rossi as a last choice. I don't know why, maybe that would change with time. Plus, all the talk of flakes on AL, why mess with it. IF I get this rifle I consider it more on a whim than a "Need".

The easiest way to weed out the scammers on Armslist is to examine the members registration date and if they have multiple items listed.
If the ad show that they're not registered, have only one item that's priced to good to true, I ignore them.

Bought my wife a J&B customs mares leg in .357 magnum on gunbroker for around $400. Its a very nice piece. If you like the lever action pistols you should check out there website.
