Greetings from WA

Greetings.
I'm recently retired from the Army, and have settled down in WA (about an hour north of Portland, OR). One of my most recent rifle purchases was a Rossi model 92 44 Mag in SS with the 16" barrel. Soon after purchasing it I sent it to Steve's Gunz to have him work over the action, install a peep sight, and install a 3/4 big loop. I'm liking it, but it does kick like a mule! I like to travel up into northern Canada and Alaska (way off the beaten path), and feel better having this rifle by my side. And I like the little-bit larger loops for when I'm wearing gloves.
I've also got a Marlin 45-70 big-loop guide gun (which I swear doesn't kick as bad as this little 44 rifle). I'm getting ready to try one of those Ruger 10/22 butt pads to see if that'll help any (on order). Oh; and be careful when googling "butt pads"... just saying. You might want to narrow your search.
Anyways, I always enjoy reading about guns (especially ones I own), so when I found this forum I knew I had to join. I'm looking forward to getting smarter on this little carbine.
