    Winchester vs Rossi.. Help me choose

    Just like the title says. I have been wanting a .38/.357 lever gun for a while. i have given up on Marlin producing a 1894c anytime soon, and cannot see spending $8-900 on a used one.

    shot shell life

    I recently was cleaning out my grandmothers garage when I came across approx. 500 AA shotgun hulls that were apparently my grandfathers. He passed away about 20yrs. ago and was not actively shooting/reloading for at least 10 years before he passed. The hulls were marked in bags once fired and...
