Rossi makes nice ones, Chiappa makes nicer ones...Marlin makes one, but the 92 reproductions just seem like the thing to do...

Try Wanstalls their at the top of the banners above.

Uberti makes really nice guns for sure, not cheap but very nice.
What about Winchester 92s ?

If you get a Rossi 92, there's a kit-with-video that shows how to smooth the action. I did it for CAS and it made a big difference.

I saw a Marlin in the EE a day or two ago.

They are really nice, but the deal breaker for me on them is the tang safety..

Although the tang safety is the craps, the safety on the Rossi's is ten times worse! I can't remember if the Chiappa's have safeties or not?

If money is not object I would buy in this order:

Uberti 1873
Win 92
Chiappa 92
Marlin 1894
Rossi 92

That list is also about how the price goes from high to low.

And Epps is a good place to look as they stock most of the mentioned brands.

I have not shot the new Winchester yet but I have had a chance to fondle one, they are very nice and look well built. Miles a head of the Rossi 92 rifles I have owned. The new Win 92 is on my short list of rifles to buy as funds permit.

There's no safety on my Rossi other than a half-####.

Same here - where did they have a problem with the safety ????

The older ones did not come with a safety, my first two didn't have them but the last one I got has it and it is god awful.

Wouldn't own one of those either!

My Rossi didn't come with one either.

I wouldn't have bought it either, had no idea it was coming with the safety as my others did not. Was quite disappointed to say the least when I opened that box!

I'm looking for a .357 or .44 mag in bolt action. The only one I know that makes them is Ruger and they are impossible to find.

I have a Chiappa Mod 92 case hardened trapper in 357 and a Winchester Mod 92 case hardened in 357, and a new Winchester 73 on order.
The Chiappa is a more exact Mod 92 replica and shoots awesome,but the Winchester, even though it has a tang safety, is a way nicer gun.
I have shot the Uberti and it was really nice, I would own one these for sure.
