Rossi 92 .357 in SS or blued? Accuracy?

[Snakum]

Thinking of ordering a Rossi 92 plinker and future cowboy shooter in .357 today. Was wondering if there are strength advantages for the model 92 action in stainless steel over carbon steel? I know what SS brings to the table in most firearm actions, but didn't know if lever gun actions benefited differently in any way?

Also, what kind of 100 yard accuracy are you guys getting with the 20" barrel in .357 when shooting full power or +P mid-weight JHPs? Less than 2" when benched, or more?

Snakum, if you are going to really compete in the cowboy game you will wind up putting the '92 over the fireplace. If you just want to shoot, the '92 is a light, quick handling, relatively accurate rifle. As stated in other posts, the lockup on the '92 is very strong. In a pistol caliber, you should get 2-3" at100 yards if you do your part. I have no experience in the more powerful bottleneck cartidges like the 30-30.
