My only real complaint with my Rossis were the plain, dull stocks. Before I chose to get walnut versions, I decided to give them a coat or two of WATCO Danish Oil right over the original finish. The difference was astounding.
Very nice!

Re: Official R92 Picture Thread
What to do after a horrible performance from your college football team...a little woods therapy. Didn't see anything but a squirrel or else I would put this in the hunting forum. It did feel really good just to be out sitting in the woods with a great rifle.
Plastic has no soul...

Re: Official R92 Picture Thread
Here is my new Rossi 92 24" Stainless Steel Octagonal Barrel in .38 Special / .357 Magnum. My first but hopefully not my last Lever Action.
Going to the range Friday morning to run her in, can't wait! Love it!

Re: Official R92 Picture Thread
Very nice, it has more of a matte finish which I would find appealing. Don't care for the bright finish on the rifles here in the US.

That one^ has a williams aperture rear sight, cut and refinished stock with Remington rubber pad, flush-mount sling setup, metal follower, safety removed, shorter front sight. All I need now is to find a standard loop lever to replace this one with.
