Go price that out new, I think you would be ahead and no messy blue elbow grease...

I was looking at this also doing the math.

Still cannot.

I spy some velvet, that’s my deer stand in the background

These are worth a try.

Pure sacrilege. But, two dead pigs. Lever action origins: late 1850's, and tricking one out with optics, plastic furniture, or rail handguards on the modern production options is "sacrilege" Bolt action origins: at least as early as 1871; 1886 if you want to talk modern ammo, and nobody t...

Rossi has a base with a built in peep site on their website for $35, I missed it the first time through because there is not a picture of the product.

That one has a nice look Sako

I can always take it off, I would like to see how it handles with one.

I was trying to justify a Marlin, the Rossi was 1/2 the price, and I had it covered except for the tax with the trade in I won, Rossi won.

Forget the dot sight, get the peeps and a Blackhawk to go with it!

The current sights need more contrast for my eyes, I want to try a dot on it, I have other stuff to put it on if it does not work out.

Thanks hey.

NICE!!! I’ve never had anything but great experiences with Rossi lever action guns. My current .44 mag is a hell if a shooter! Have you tried any hot loads? Full power commercial 240gt JSPs and a few hot plated 210gr SWC which the rifle LOVES. Steel plates at over 100 yards are just an offhand prop...

Thank you!

Nice choice How bad are the irons ? They seem imprecise to my astigmatism and nearsightedness, but I have not shot it yet. I am looking at a rail for a dot. Did yours like any particular ammo? Mine was $602 plus MN sales tax, what did you get dinged for yours? Did you upgrade your sights or is that...

Zee wrote: ↑Sat Jun 06, 2026 11:31 pm Nice!!! Interesting to see one with the barrel longer than the tube.
What barrel length?

18”

IMG_0535.jpeg Won a muzzleloader in a raffle and did not want it so I took the instore credit and got the Rossi/Heritage in .357/.38 today. Finish and wood look good and there are tapped threads below the rear sight for a rail, might go with that and a dot optic, checking on prices and availability...

Duck hunting without rain and sleet ? Glad the boat set up is working out, tell BH to upgrade to a V8 and some hydrofoils, should make the arms race interesting next year

Already have three .30cal suppressors. Wanted something closer to the smaller calibers.

Does it make that much of a difference?

You got a dedicated 6.5 cal suppressor? Not a .30 cal?

IMG_0526.jpeg If you are interested, this rebate, plus Midway’s clearance prices, and free shipping after 100$, makes this NXD a good deal, going to run some of this stuff through the AR pistol and a new pistol caliber carbine I am getting this week, Science! Unfortunately, my Chrony chronograph ga...
