My 3" Rossi blued M68 .38 special is a really nice "kit gun" in a larger caliber. I think of the little 511 stainless 22 more as a "kit gun", but I guess the .38 fits. Both group well enough to easily take a rabbit at 25 yards or a bit beyond.
I usually think of a kit gun as having adjustable sights, but so long as it shoots straight, I guess. The M68 is the older gun with a windage adjustable blade. But, I never had to adjust it, dead on with wadcutters.
