Rossi LWC single shot

Marstar has em in 300bo and 44mag, might be able to poke them and see if they've got 357mag otw.

Bartons Big Country lists 357mag in stock for $565 right now. Bit high compared to others but if you don't wanna wait...
 
Looks like I was issued another Transfer notice from Bulleyes and got a shipping notice. So Looks like Bulleyes North finally got them in.
 
Interested on your thoughts once you've got it.
I'll try. I was told I have 3 weeks to vacate my house. So I'm currently in the process of moving, and relocating into a rental. When you got 2 large dogs. You gotta take what you can get. That's an hour away from my gun club.

Last Pre order I'll do though. I bought this gun June 12 2024.

JHC man, you have the patience of a saint to wait that long! Best of luck with the move and can't wait to hear how the rifle performs. I nearly bought one, but wasn't sure if the twist rate would fit my needs.

Thanks. I forgot about it for a bit. Guess I'll get it Monday.

What are they like 1-30? So guess gotta stick under 158s?

It is probably going to be more accurate than trying to shoot 38 spl from a 357 Max chamber.

I'll probably mount a 1.5-5x LPVO.

Yeah, something like 1 in 30, and I'm sure that's fine for the majority of guys who would buy one using available ammo or even those who reload. I doubt Rossi designers thought "Hey, maybe we should speed the twist rate up for that 1 in 5000 saskgunowner guy who would ream it out to 357 Max and use heavy for caliber bullets":D
 
Got it in today. Professional packing from Bullseye North.

Comes with a trigger lock, manual, safety pamphlets and a thread in to the hammer extention.

The Gun grip is a little boxy. But not super uncomfortable.

The trigger isn't bad. 4.5#, hammer is easy to ####. Opening it isn't hard. Could benifit from a slightly raised release lever.

With all the preserving oil, the stock is a little slippery.

I tested it with cases, if you don't have finger nails it may be difficult to remove the spent shells.

Was it worth pre ordering and waiting a year? No.

I'm probably gonna install a 1-5 LPVO.

I saw that they came with a pistol grip folding stock..But unfortunately wouldn't be legal up here.

Looks pretty good.
They say it has a transfer bar safety, is it like the H&R where you have to almost yank the trigger to have the firing pin struck?
It does have a transfer bar safety. I just tested it with a fired case and piece of tape over the back. Fired it as if you were gently pulling the trigger, and the tape was pierced.
 
Maybe it's like other single shot break actions, remove the 2? screws holding the buttpad on, and should be some long bolt inside there. Unless I'm misunderstanding here.
Thanks, there was. Nothing in the parts diagram, that there was a stock bolt. Just was busy to check.

For being polymer, it is ridged. Doesn't rattle. The reciever is built like a Benelli Nova. Polymer over steel. Has a steel breech. Like I said, would benifit with a bigger release lever.

Reason for buying one. Barrel for my TC Contender was 630$ plus 15% tax and shipping. So close to 700$. Then i'd need to buy a stock set. As my frame is registered pistol. H&R Handi in 357 was over 700 if you found one, Traditions you never could find one.

So for 506$ shipped, was a better deal.

I would have been saying something about how long it took to actually get. Reason I hate preorders, store has no actual idea when they can get them in. Now if you can just make the time to get to the range and see how it shoots. For the money it does seem like a decent deal.
You just aren’t enough of a Contender junkie. Going to have to find you a carbine butt and you won’t have an excuse.
