      I would recommend Louis L'amour's books starting with the Sackett series. I have them all
      and read them in order every few years. Great winter reading. Best Wishes.

          It looks so small.

            The receiver is so different from a '92 though with the 2 piece handle, the extended box mag, no mag tube, and overall shape. Even the forearm is different on the '95.

            We still have my Dad's '95 carbine chambered in 30 Govt (30-40 Krag), a '94 30-30 SRC made in 1907 and a few Rossi '92's in 357 and 44 mag along with my Marlin 336T in 30-30.

              This proves nothing, but my Marlin 30-30 was miles better than the Winchester. Rossi made some good pistols (again, my opion).
              If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.

                My opinion, yes, Marlins were much better.

                Rossi '92. I've read where some of the old westerns were shot with the Rossi's instead of the Winchesters due to cost. Kind of hard to believe as neither cost that much.

                I have several Rossi 38's and 357's. Shame they sold out to Taurus. Taurus is good but many of the models got modified or eliminated.

                  I only had the one Rossi .38. That was fifteen yrs. ago. You could probably tell me the model no. It was three digits and I think it started with 4. Anyway I sold it to a cop in training through a guy I worked with. Word got back that he liked it. No surprise, it was accurate. I come across an accurate pistol about once every ten years. I need to stop selling them.

                    If it began with a 4 then maybe a 461 (curved butt) or 462 (square butt). Just guessing here.

                      When I was a kid I would go to our local library with three library cards
                      With my junior one I'd get an adventure story like Coral Island
                      With my Dad's - a Zane Grey Western
                      With my Mother's - a murder mystery

                      I've read practically all Louis L'Amore's stories, Zane Grey, Luke Short.
                      I have dozens, maybe a hundred Western movies in my collection.
