nice gun for the money!
Took mine out a couple times after a through cleaning and it cycled everything I put in it 38 and 357 They are a little tight out of the box but here are a few suggestions! If I had the ability to shoot more often and put a lot of rounds through my gun I would just use a little white lithium grease and just shoot the hell out of the rifle and break it in like that! I decided to get the spring kit easy to install my gun didn't need anything other than springs to make it run nice and fast!! there is so much info on this gun videos and everything under the sun!! After reading a bunch on people afraid to fieldstrip the gun and needing a stevzgun video to do it I thought it would be hard but after some research you don't need all that!!! just take your time the first try and after that it really isn't that complicated pull it apart change the springs refinish the stocks if you like!! overall this is a great gun!!
Buds was great and had my new Rossi to me in no time highly recommend Bud's
My only complaint is my FFL raised there prices from $40 to $100 taking advantage of the recent gun scare! Should be illegal it's like raising prices on food and fuel in a disaster!!!!
But this has nothing to do with Bud's

Awesome!
I already own a Rossi Ranch Hand in 357mag/38sp that I use at the indoor pistol range but I decided it was time to get the rifle version for the outdoor rifle range. This stainless steel 16" barreled Rossi 92 is sweet. The quality control at Rossis is a little lacking, so I brought some snap-caps to the FFL with me and cycled a few before I took ownership. They cycled smoothly and I'm extremely happy with the everything about this rifle. I installed a Lee Gunsmithing spring kit and stainless magazine follower in my Ranch Hand and I think I'll do the same for this rifle. The kit reduces the trigger pull, lightens the hammer spring, and prevents ejected brass from flying into orbit. I had debated between the 16" and the 20" for a while (like months.) I really wanted the 16" but they were so hard to find in 357mag/38sp. However , one day, Buds had it, and I jumped on it. As I said before, I couldn't be happier with this decision.

Great little gun. Bought the 20in.; blued version 6 months ago and that was why I purchased this one. This model seems to accept more choices of ammo. Buds firearm purchase process was flawless as always. Great quality at great prices. Thanks Buds.

A very nice gun... No tool marks in the steel or scratches in the wood finish. I've used both 38 and 357 rounds, and everything I've used feeds smoothly with no jams or FTF problems. The action was a little stiff at first, but after the first hundred rounds and some gun oil it's now pretty smooth. As some others have noted, the ejection spring can be overly enthusiastic, but it's not so bad that I need to do anything about it. I did replace the rear sight with a Marble Arms Bullseye (long), which was a lot better for my old-eyes than the factory rear sight. I had to remove the elevator from the rear sight to zero the Bullseye sight. Overall, this is a great home-defense gun that's also a lot of fun to shoot at the range. (And it does turn-heads at the range...)

Bud's sometimes took a while to ship, but the gun and the price were worth the wait.

Shipping was a little slow but I understand Bud's is busy right now. Gun arrived well packaged and undamaged. I had read that it was hit or miss with these guns, but mine had no tool marks at all. The wood to metal fit is a little rough, but not bad. Looks awesome! It shoulders quickly and is nice and small and compact. I love this thing! Shoots an inch or 2 high but will easily hit a pie plate every time off hand at 50 yards. Chambered everything I put in it, AS LONG AS YOU WORK THE ACTION like you mean it. If you do it slowly, the lifter on mine would not lift the next round to be chambered. Out of 150 rounds of 3 different types of .38 P, it never failed to function when the action was worked fast and hard. And all the empties landed at my feet. Plan on putting a red dot on it. Holds 9 rounds of .38, plus one in the chamber. This gun is a lot of fun to shoot and would work well for home defense.
