Hello from Virginia
Hello from Virginia
After a bit of lurking, I thought I should say "Hi". Politeness, that's all. Long history of firearms ownership, hunting, and killing pieces of paper. I bought a blued Rossi 92 in .44Mag some months back, and took it out for its debut of destroying cheap canned sodas with my children and grandchildren this morning. The kids got their first official firearms safety and marksmanship lesson from one of their uncles, with me acting as range safety officer, using the family's official training rifle, a Remington Targetmaster. Afterwards, I pulled out the Rossi to initiate it. Must have not pulled the stock in tight enough because the steel-clad toe of the stock bit me pretty good. And, as the stock is on the short side, I'll be looking for a good butt pad solution. I see a search of the forum in my future......

Re: Hello from Virginia
I like the whyte leather works wrap around leather pieces.
they level off the crescent plate on the rifles and it feels like it mitigates the recoil about 75%.

Re: Hello from Virginia
welcome Allan. Good job taking the kids out.
Life isn't about the toys you accumulate, but about the memories your create with those toys and friends.

Re: Hello from Virginia
Welcome.
I'm assuming you have the 20" RB carbine.
The octagonal rifles with the crescent buttplate still need to be pulled tight but they need to ride the arm/shoulder crease a bit more and not the chest/shoulder.
As long as you snuggle up to the carbine you should be ok with them.
I do sort of wish the buttplate was checkered on those however for a bit less slip on some clothing.
