I have a Rossi 92 Stainless 45colt with 20" barrel. Great little rifle. It feeds perfectly with bullets up to about 330gr, although bullets in the 290 to 330 grain range need to have a wide meplat (which keeps the over all length a bit shorter).
I shoot Ruger-only loads thru the Rossi and it has given me no problem. Admittedly, the fit and finish are nowhere near that of a Winchester or Uberti, but for the $500 I paid for it I am not concerned about taking it on some pretty rough outings. There is no other rifle, in my opinion, that carries as nicely as a 92, and the 20" barrel gives me a bit more velocity an sight radius without making this a long rifle.
Killing woodchucks out to 75 to 100 yards is not a problem, and they are about the size of a deer's kill-zone. I won't scope the thing, it would ruin it in my opinion. Consequently, I limit my shots at game to 100 yards. It would work fine out to greater distances with lighter, faster loads, and someone with younger eyes than mine.
I hear getting a good Rossi is sort or a crap shoot. Can't speak to that, but I could not be happier with mine. Well, actually, I would like to get a synthetic stock and forend for it, and replace the rear sight with a Skinner or similar peep sight. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing. I carry it in the woods with me, and it rides behind the seat in my pick-up the rest of the time. Now I need one in 357mag for my wife.
