Since it seems the tacticool levers have ended up here, this is where I'm asking.

Is there any great advantage one way or the other between these two? I like the stock and lever loop on the Canuck better and it has an 8 round mag compared to 7 for the Levtac. Any other differences? Anyone have both to compare?

The wrangler costs $150 more, which more than covers the cost to put a better stock on the Levtac, so that seems pretty much a wash.


Thanks,
Mark
 
Does warranty or parts support exist for either option?

Levtac lever guns are made in Brazil. Rossi is made in Brazil. I don't hear good things about parts and service for Rossi...
 
Not sure if it helps, but I’ve had great luck with Chiappa leverguns. Remember, the Chiappa that produced the ratty little .22 M1 isn’t the same company that produces their line of leverguns. They make a fantastic model 92 copy.
 
Rossi (and Citadel Levtac as rebranded Rossi) parts are more available than Turkish parts in general, though I can't comment on this supposedly Turkish lever model. Rossi has tons of models on US and Canada market too. One single Turkish lever from unknown manufacturer might be the bad choice.

Also Citadel Levtac in 44Mag is 8+1, not 7+1

I owned and got rid of Chiappas, I trust modern Rossi better. Both have hit and miss QC, so one needs to watch for obvious lemons, but otherwise Rossi has better metal quality and not as sloppy as Chiappas. Chiappas only external finish is more refined.

I've had rossi Ranch hand 44 mag and a rossi 92 in 454. Both fed smooth. I recently got a citadel 454 and feeding is trash. Not impressed. Take some dummy rounds and test if they let u. Maybe 44 mag is fine but that's my experience

Levac guns ARE Rossi guns.

I have a Rossi R92 and it has been VERY reliable. I've run 700-800 rounds through it and cleaned the thing once.

Do you have a source for that? I'm not doubting you, considering they are made in Brazil I assumed the same thing (and have been told as much by others) but I love to see hard evidence of claims like this where possible.
 
The word comes from Retailers and Distributes. Real life confirmation comes with parts interchangeability. I installed Rossi lever on my Levtac.
All above that I said about Rossi I was meaning to say about Cidatel Levtac, as it's just rebranded Rossi 92.
 
I was not that familiar with the Wrangler Blackout, so I watched a couple videos, one from O'Dell.... it doesn't look to bad and the 3 year warranty should get you down the road a fair ways... if it runs good for 3 years, other then maybe some springs, extractor, firing pin, there is probably not too much that can go wrong. If O'Dell has or will sell you some small spare parts after 3 years you should be good to go.

If you like the tactical look it seems to have that in spades.
 
Oh, BTW, there's also Heritage brand and as I understand it's also re-branded Rossi.
Looking at supposedly Turkish Wranglers, I'm kinda curious on why Turkish manufacturer copied Rossi's safety one-to-one... What if Wranglers are not Turkish at all?
 
No need to constantly re-invent the wheel, just looking at the Wrangler tells me that it's a unique design, I have no reason not to believe it's made in Turkey as claimed.

There's no reason to copy something that works awfully.

I can think of a few reasons not to..... :)
Generally the 1892 is a solid design though.... the safety wing can be deleted on the Rossi's and the gun run with the traditional half ####.

I don't know if that applies to the Turkish gun.
