IIRC, Rossi stopped making lever actions for a few years and they seem to be coming back with them in .45 Colt. I've got a lot of .45 Colt handguns, but no rifles and have eyed the model 92 for a while. Used ones were going for $400 or $500 when they were out of production, so now that they're back I'm thinking of grabbing one either this year or next.
For those who owned or currently own any Rossi model 92, what are your thoughts on them? Worth the money or do you regret getting it?
Personally, I'm only looking at shooting it with iron sights as the drop with .45 Colt is likely very steep once you get past 100 yards. Also intend to shoot both standard pressures and Ruger/TC only hot loads.
EDIT: Also, between 16 inch and 20 inches, which barrel length do you prefer? I have a Henry Big Boy 20" in .327 that feels a bit heavier than it should be and think maybe the 16" would feel better. Since the Rossi is a side loader, the carry capacity isn't a concern like it would be in a Henry.
