I was looking in the closet for something and found an Interarms box. Not thinking, picked it up and it was heavy like something was in there. I looked, and it was the .38 Rossi M68 I bought for my step Dad who passed away a while back. I'd completely forgotten I had it. I took it out to the range a while back to check some loads in it. It was very accurate with my Lee cast 148 grain wadcutter/Bullseye load, shot 2" at 25 yards off bags. It shot my semi wadcutter pretty well, too. That one uses a Lee 158SWC over 5.0grains Unique. It's a good heavy load, shoots a little left of POA, though.
I'd gotten this gun for a little over a hundred bucks back in '81 I guess, right after my grandpa died. He had my grandpa's S&W M10 which I wanted, bought him this Rossi for home protection and took the M10.
The M10 sits in my cabinet in its place of honor, very good shooting gun, very tight. It was made in the 50s, used very little, oldy, but goody, old S&W quality. The Rossi shoots well, has a 3" barrel that gives it a good sight radius. It's a five shot J frame sized gun. It is very handy to carry afield and I'd figured as accurate and easy to carry as it is, it'll make a SUPER field revolver. I have a little 4" Rossi M511 sportsman .22, also, but the .38 is neat, a little more punch, and it'll still take rabbits with a wadcutter, done it before with other .38s.
3 .38 specials (used to have four), two .357s. I'm a little heavy on this caliber I reckon. But, I've always liked the .38/.357s.
Heck, finding that .38 I'd forgotten about is almost like Christmas arrived a few days early. ROFLMAO! Damned old age and senility.
