I knew there have been pump .22s, just didn't know anyone had ever made a pump .357.
Do it!I keep hearing a voice saying the same thing in my head!
Non-issue. I've been shooting leverguns quite extensively since childhood. I can't remember the last time I 'needed' to strip one, in the field or otherwise.From a practical point of view, the Ruger is much, much easier to field strip....
Not from what I've seen.The Ruger has more potential accuracy of the lever action.
That, dear Sergei, is a Timberwolf! Made by IMI(now IWI) and imported into the US by Action Arms and Springfield Armory. They came in both .357 and .44M. Production on the blued units was around 11/12K. The SS versions were mostly in 44 and probably less than 1500 were made. These days neither caliber is cheap to obtain, SS even more $$.I give up, what is that pump-action rifle?
I like my Rossi '92 in .357 caliber. Holds plenty of ammo and is fast on the second shot. I did have the internals slicked up a bit when it was new. I would not sell it unless I came across a better or higher grade rifle. It is a lot better than the Uberti 1873 I had when it comes to shooting .38's. The Uberti just would not hardly cycle those .38 rounds. This Rossi doesn't seem to matter either way. Both .357 and .38's cycle fine. I am sure it has more to do with the difference in 1873 vs 1892 design.
Just another thought... I like that the lever guns offer fast second shot without being a semiauto. Cleaning is mostly limited to a bore snake and an exterior wipedown. There is no gas or burned powder traveling backwards, so the workings rarely need detailed attention unless you are shooting in a dirty or wet situation. Just a plus I appreciate anyways.
