I happened to find what may be an excellent plinking and close in varmint gun today. I found a Rossi .357 Mag in a 20 inch barrel for sale. Hopefully it groups rather than scatters hits. I will know shortly.

Id tjos called the ” Puma”? My brother in Alaska had one but he isnt that into guns so I bought it from him 12 years ago for $150

they are really fun and accurate. Mine will even feed full wadcutter ammo

I think that Rossi is a pretty faithful reproduction of the Model 92 Winchester. I've heard that Model 92 parts even fit!

Once I buy a key we can always make a run up to Ephrata.

Where did you buy and how do you like?

Bill W · « **Reply #8 on:** January 01, 2014, 08:28:17 AM »

Big 5 is where it came from and I'll let you know how I like it after the first trip to the range.

I had this rifle out for a test shoot last weekend. The front sight is off to the left side and the rear sight is off to the right side. I had a biggg target as I wasn't sure where the bullet would hit. Turned out the rifle was dead on at 50 yards with open sights. After finding that out I had the thought, "Was the barrel drilled off center?" More news later after I stick a laser sight in the barrel.

What are you two taggers curious about?

hntrspud · « **Reply #13 on:** January 28, 2014, 02:59:51 PM »

Probably wanting to know if the barrel was drilled off center, or what you found out with the laser.

I understand.

In theory, you should be able to center both sights and it will all work out. If you move the front sight to the right and the rear sight to the left it will all even out.

Can you drift the front sight or is it a fixed ramp?

I had that same thought but want to check things out with the laser first.

A visualization of the front sight to the left and the rear sight to the right indicates to me that the sights should be aiming to the left of the bore. I find it hard in this day and age that a barrel could be made with the bore off center. That would mess with chambering and installing the fore end.

Also the Moses Lake Big 5 had two .44's and one .357 back when I posted about buying this one.
