Rossi Puma M-92 quality?
« on: June 19, 2004, 06:34:30 PM »
I was wondering how many of you out there have any experience with these rifles, and if you think they are a good buy or not.  I've looked at them a few times, and thought they looked pretty decent, and seem to cycle smoothly.  I am interested in the 24" octogonal barrel version in .357 mag.  I would like to hear any comments you folks might have whether positive or negative.  Thanks!

Strongest lever you can buy, I've got a  Puma 92 .357 16in. large loop lever. Great carbine.

Bluestem,
I have the rossi 92 in 44-40 and i love it. the action is slick, I have not found any buggers with mine. As far as strenth goes i think it is as strong as any 92s out there. You should enjoy your 92 as much as I do mine.
Good luck and stay safe................Joe............................................

I looked at one on gunbroker today and was wondering how good they are myself. But that's not why I posted this....I thought about buying the one I looked at but didn't know if it was priced to high or it was a good deal. It's a Puma M92 454 Casull with a 20in. round barrel with a blue finish. The price was $350 is this too much or a deal?

I shoot a Rossi 92 carbine in 357 mag for Cowboy Rifle Silhouette compitition.  I don't shoot heavy loads because of target damage.  I do shoot very light loads at very low volicities.  These are most times the hardest to get to shoot accurate.  I get 2 minute groups at 100 meters with a receiver sight. The carbine shot good enough to get me into the 4 way shootoff for the Idaho State Championship.  

I have looked at the 24 inch octogon barrel rifle with the color case hardning and I would really like to have one but my carbine shoots so good I just can't bring myself to switch.  When I got mine I couldn't find a local dealer with one of the rifles so I setteled for the carbine and I like it.  It was a good choice but I do like the rifles.

You can only hit the target if the barrel is pointed in the right direction when the bullet leaves the barrel.

I have had two Puma's one 16" and one 20".  I wasn't empressed by either one.  The 20" shot good but I had to almost beat the lever closed every time I chanbered a round.  The 16" had a smooth action but wouldn't hold 5 rounds on a pie plate at 25 yards from a bench rest.  I probaly just got unlucky one these rifles.  I know people who have them and love them.

I got one of the early little 16 " barreled carbines...Fun to shoot...does not like any flat nosed bullets or any Keith style bullets with a shoulder on them but round nose lead or jacketed shoot great.....mine likes 38 specials too.

I have an old, pre safety model, in .357 mag and a new .454.
I find them an excellent value, good solid guns and accurate.
Buy one, you won't be sorry
