Wow that's odd. I've had two .357 16 inch, one 44 mag 24 inch and a 45 colt 24 inch and none had crap sights. Maybe the new ones are differentNothing to do with eyesight, recoil consistently caused the rossi step elevator to "bump" to its lowest setting, that doesn't happen with the marbles one, the front sight is invisible in certain lighting conditions. The gun is excellent apart from the sights which are crap, my win 94 30/30 NEVER did this, neither does the marbles one now.
Thank you. That’s an interesting point. I decided not to give an opinion on the one and only Rossi that I had owned. It was a .45 Colt with the 24” octagon barrel.One of the things about the Rossi 92s that most people don't realize when they talk about "mine won't do x but my buddy's will" is that there are several generations, each manufactured by completely different companies.
I've been very lucky with my 3 Rossi 92s (.357, .44 and .454 Casull). Each one of mine is a different generation and has significant differences, but they are all very reliable when it comes to feeding different bullet styles. I have never tried to shoot full wadcutters through my .357 carbine, but I'm pretty confident it would handle them in .357 mag brass just fine, and probably also .38 special brass.
Happily, the 92 lends itself to an assortment of replacement sights; Marbles is a good source.Nothing to do with eyesight, recoil consistently caused the rossi step elevator to "bump" to its lowest setting, that doesn't happen with the marbles one, the front sight is invisible in certain lighting conditions.

I was asking in the OP about which 38 special/357 mag carbine would be more fun, a single shot like the Henry, or a levergun like the Rossi, since they are close to the same $$. I wish the cva scout came in 357, I would have one if that was the case...I thought the OP question was about single shot??? I see all the Lever action answers and wonder. Anyway for what its worth, single shot If CVA made a 357 I would vote for it, as it is my CVA 45-70 Scout V2 in stainless is beautiful and a tack driver. Henry seems over priced and Rossi maybe.
