Well found my old shooting bag and few other things and went to the range. Shot the 16 Inch Rossi 92 with Fiocchi 240grainers ....they were rockets and had some serious thump, not a real pleasant load for sure, average velocity with those 240gr soft points was at about 1730fps. The would put the hur...

a 265 or 300 gr WFN from beartooth bullets will work in your revolver & rifle and will kill any bear that walks build a load for your revolver then use it in the rifle too. Its bullet placement that kills, any DG coming at you needs a cns shot. danny Yes, I have been reading and talking to ever...

wll, Well since bears are now issued Kevlar vests by the local chapters of PETA you'll need to up your rifle caliber to a Barrett 50 BMG with a 10 round magazine. Just spoofing. I wouldn't be afraid to carry any tested and reliable lever gun such as the Rossi you mentioned in any bear populated are...

If you were to take your 44 Rossi 92 in brown bear country, what ammo you'll you take or what ammo would you buy ?

Will the Rossi 92 handle the same high power loads as a Ruger Redhawk ?

That factory installed Weaver scope base is an eye-sore, much better lookin' with the peep-sight.

Interesting looking rifle and the M1907 sling is a good choice, too. You may want to assemble it properly though. http://search.yahoo.com/r/_ylt=A0oG7lTGfi5S7wkAZDFXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTExc3BoNG9sBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMgRjb2xvA2FjMgR2dGlkA1VJQzFfMQ--/SIG=120nem3su/EXP=1378807622/**http%3a//www.youtube.com/wat...

No, that not for me. I have lots of Leadhead 425gr GC boolits and lots of Rem 405gr SP, they should last me a lifetime.

Well, I took it to work and put a little more stain on the stock and forend. I then installed Skinner Express Sights and a plug screw. I then installed the sling and spruced her up a bit.

I've bought a mossberg 464 with a 2-7 Leupold vx2. It returns some great 1.25" groups and some not so great 3" groups or worse with the same ammo. Remington 170 and Federal 170. How much does a barrel band and heat impact accuracy. Honestly, the last time I did 50+ rounds it was quite fat...

Not a battle rifle, 6 rounds is plenty, I'm used to hunting with single shots. :wink: In Griz country if I haven't taken care of business in 6 rounds I'll be reaching for the 44mag on my hip if I even have time for that which I doubt. I'll try my best with first round. 8) Nice having a halfcock, an...

Yes, it works, not the best case in the world but it holds the Rossi 92 OK. I put a hole in the leather tab so I could put a lock on it.

If you want to shoot over a variety of ranges, you might consider an easily and repeatably adjustable sight like a Williams FP.

How can you "lock" a soft case? :? Kali is Krazy.... Yep, mine have a hole in the zipper tab and a 'D' ring at the bottom. I understand completely, but, the point was that it's not the least bit secure. Just whack the end of the soft case off with a knife, or, just run with it, and open l...

Well, I tied the back end of the sling up by running a strip of leather through it and it is kept in place by two wood beads. Don't know if I'll do the same to the front, that may be to much !

And the magazine tube swivel I did yesterday day with a little card shim (works great).
