    Nice rifle, a great example of why the 1892 SRC was popular world wide.
    Where's the Kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth shattering Kaboom.

    Yes that is a nice one.........
    It is no wonder the 1892 Winchester was and is such a favorite. Weight, balance, handiness, Handgun calibers, noise levels etc. Rossi was smart to make and market an affordable copy. I just wish they had been closer to the quality of the originals.

    If I lived in the US I’d be looking to get all the 1892 models I could ! But it’s not easy in the Uk.
    Think my collection is complete now just need to shoot them as much as I can

    I had a Rossi 92 (357) for a few months. Nothing wrong but nothing right either.

    A real Winchester is something completely different, I just firelapped one from 1901. You need to handle and shoot these old girls to understand.

    Here are some British Proof Marks on a Win92. A lot were sent to England during the war and to sportsmen as well.
