After lots of reading and careful thinking, I had concluded that a new Rossi 92 lever in 44 magnum would be ideal for fun at the range (with the intent to reload to hold down ammo cost). I asked my LGS to order one for me. Several days later the owner tells me that he can't find any. Ok, I thought, I'll just go for my second choice caliber (45 Colt) and ask him to order one of those instead. Yesterday, LGS owner called me to say that he can't find any 92 in 45 Colt either. Dagnabbit!!! I prefer not to order used online.
My requirements:
Target shooting (plinking) at range for fun
I like 'some' recoil (no 22 LR)
Don't like or want black/tactical options
Lever action is my top preference (and traditional looking)
Any suggestions? I thought about Henry, but they don't have side loading gates. I want something that bears resemblance to the cowboy lever guns of the old west. Uberti is out of my budget (wanting to stay under $500).
Thanks in advance!
