My Wish List

Post by mr surveyor »

Suddenly I have an urge for something in 32-20 or 25-20 ... been pondering it for a year or so, but realized I ain't getting any younger. Unfortunately not getting any richer either. Might have a better chance of lucking on a 32-20, but I really want the 25-20 .... but it looks like a real shooter will be in the $1500-2000 range. Wife needs a new vehicle (mine might last another couple of years), house needs a paint job, office needs a new printer/copier, retirement prospects are beginning to look really bleak .....

so..... when can I expect Rossi to fulfill my wish list? (I can find the dies :) )

I hate being practical and prioritizing everything ...

It would be really nice if Rossi offered them, even in a limited run, I would buy them. I have the three Marlin 1894CL rifles; 218 Bee, 25-20 Win, and 32-20 Win. They are all great cartridges.

I'm with you surveyor! I'd love to have an affordable .25-20.
At my age, there IS nothing better than shooting.

I really want the 25-20, but I think I have the 32-30 "wannabe" covered. Thinking about ordering a batch of .32 cal 115 gr swc's, and a Lee .311 sizer, and squish them into 30-30 brass over about 6 grains of Trail Boss .... maybe close to the real 32-20 "feel", and I do love my old Marlin 336.
