I have one in sainless steel and it is a wonderful carbine. I conceder it my 45-70 lite! shoots 45 LC great also. I restocked mine as the wrist was broken when I got it. put a curved buttplate stock on it and it snugs right in when shooting offhand. off the bench it it has to be tucked in right or it bites.
this gun has killed both white tails ahd black bear. the 454 casull is a spiffy round. the rossi is the second from top.
