I would think of the .357 Rossi as a .38 WCF/ M92, an excellent combo, in it's day. I've been enthusiastic about it since I saw my first "El Tigre" .44WCF when I was first able to reach up to the table to try to taste the glass of mash that someone left there.
The .357 or .44Mag are easier to load, and are great little carryin' carbine. They'll do anything you'd have a "truck gun" for.
My fondness for the M92 caused me to get hold of a Rossi .357, but I rebarrelled it to .256 Mag, with a 22" tube. I also modified the magazine to 1/2 mag configuration. A Lyman tang-peep sight topped it off.
A 20" or 22" tubed Rossi OR Marlin M94 would be VERY hard to beat. Either would "take a lickin', an' keep on tickin'.
Have fun,
Gene
