[IMR 4350]

That’s about the going rate. Esp. in stainless.

I wouldn’t call it a “good deal,” but it is a fair price. What is its intended use?

May be a good deal if it's been manufactured since the takeover by Taurus. I had a Rossi .357 revolver a couple years ago that was utter crap. The timimg was terrible and it would lock up like a vault from time to time. Getting it repaired to function properly would have cost just as much as the original purchase.

I would recommend Hornady LEVERevolution ammo for your rifle. It's made specifically for that type. It has good performance specs, as well.

Not a great price but not out of sight either. Is it new?

Are you looking specifically for a lever action .357 mag rifle?

Reason I ask is that as a rifle it's sort of underpowered and that ammo is hard to find and expensive unless you roll your own.

[Vaquero]

its a model 92 winchester clone.....anything that can be used for cowboy action shooting is usually more expensive than those of similar quality that cant be used for CAS.

that is not a bad price for that weapon. right now original model 92 winchesters are through the roof....good clones are pretty high too...

My bro had one back in the 80’s. Blued barrel but. Great little rifle.

Not as good as my Browning BL92 Lever-action (44 Mag) though

Rossi makes a good weapon. I’ve had a .38Spl for almost 20yrs, put 1000’s of rounds through it. Very accurate and reliable. That rifle sounds like fun.

Look for a lever action 308 instead.

[Rio]

that’s probably full retail. stainless adds to the value. as mentioned, this is a rifle in demand by Cowboy Action Shooters (I am one). They are a blast to shoot. It’s always nice to have one caliber for both rifle and pistol.
Anyway, Rossi 92’s have a good reputation in CAS. If you get it, there are some things that you can do to “slick it up.”

I have one in blue. Sweet little carbine, one of my favorites.

Cons: the loading port is very small and not beveled, hence you may find yourself using your little finger to poke that last cartridge in all the way. The point of impact is markedly different between .357 and .38 spl ammunition, which it also shoots. The latter has the recoil of a .22. There is a known problem if you let the barrel ring get too loose - it'll end up downrange. Have to check that now and then.

Pros: the 20-in barrel pumps the muzzle energy of the .357 magnum up toward .44 magnum pistol-barrel levels. Can't say if mine is an exception but inside 50 meters it's a tack-driver. Smooth action, and it has that natural point that the Winchester 94 exhibits. Conventional rear blade (i.e. not one of those dang buckhorns) adjustable for elevation only. Nice crisp trigger breaks at a little over five pounds, not much creep.

Sweet little piece in summation. You could load it hot for deer but I'm thinking it might be a little light outside about 50 meters. Great coyote gun.

.357 is a pistol cartridge.

Any rifle that shoots it will have pistol performance.

I have a Winchester in 45LC that I won't part with. When shooting corbon 320gr 45LC+P soft point ammo it will take down anything in the lower 48 within a reasonable distance. It isn't my go to rifle for elk hunting but I do hunt hogs and blacktails with it.
The action is quick and smooth. I keep this rifle loaded and hanging over my bedroom door at night. It can put a lot of high impact energy bullets down range very quickly.
