Finally got off my butt and went to the Gun Show in Vegas this weekend. Hate that drive, almost 200 miles round trip, but they let "Old farts" in for free on Sunday, a bargain i couldn't resist. Got there at 9:15, left at 10:20; in between i bought some books, some cheap gun covers, some ammo boxes for my .45-70....and a Rossi .357... Only $250, I had to take it before some other damn fool came along and stumbled into the trap. That makes 8 lever guns now if I'm counting right.

LOL! $50 in gas to save a $5 admission fee sounds like something I'd do.

Nice find on the Rossi! .357 lever guns are great fun. Fast and cheap to load for too...

Actually admission is usually $12, I can't even remember when it was $5 in California, must be near 20 years ago. I had other reasons, I did some shopping at places we don't have out here and had lunch with my sister. And reminded myself why I live out here and not in Las Vegas...

The latest info on them Rossi 357s is they are prone to burning lots of powder.
It seems like they don't turn up in gun shops around here very often. That's got to be a good sign, I know I really like mine and wouldn't mind finding another.
