Rossi Rifleman

I attended a self defense seminar last night that was hosted by a gun store about an hour from me. They had a bunch of leverguns on the wall. Two caught my eye; the Henry 41 Mag, and 308 Win. The fit and finish were perfect. I've made myself a promise of no more firearms as I own more than I can shoot which is ridiculous. A year ago, that seminar would have cost me $1500 to attend because I would have come home with both. The Long Ranger is a piece of art. At least that is what I was telling myself as I wanted to bring it home real bad.

Now I know this is a Rossi forum, and we love our rifles, but the R92s were on the same display as Blue Steels. For $110 difference, there is no way an R92 would have come home with me had I been looking for one. The Rossi fit, and finish cannot compete. No way it can. I thought that the Rossi's were well-used guns as I approached the display but they were new.

I would say that the BB Steel is ½ lb heavier than the R92. Now I know that Rossi claims their 92 but if you have ever put a 20" barrelled rifle on a scale you know that is horse %@*&$. They are not within a lb of that. In that I'm only a hunter, the tube reloading would not matter to me as that is how I reload & upload my cartridges so that they don't get dinged up. Biscuit eater, those are some nice rifles!

Howdy Mr. Mike
Got a 41 Henry last July and it shot most every thing I fed it just fine. Rally likes a 265 GC punched by 296. If you hunt about you can find them for $635 + shipping. Henry is the finest, buyer friendly gun producer I have dealt with in the last 5 years.
And that may yet come down some more as I read Gun sales are slowing with our new President doing right.

That is what the 41 Mag was, $635.

And now the 41 mag Henry Carbine is out !

Henry also has a very nice technical support, almost comparable to HiPoint's.

We had a Lone Ranger come through the shop and it was VERY nice.
I'd probably prefer a BLR takedown but I think the Henry's going to be better priced and made in the U.S. so it may very well get the nod on my next one.

I have both the 41 Mag rifle and the Long Ranger 308, both are super smooth and accurate. So far I have not found a round the 41 will not load POI might change but groups stay tight with all I have tried. I love levers and these are both great guns.
