Like my 20" Rossi, with few minor exceptions
20' is handy enough and light in the hand. except for the garish look, the round barrel stainless model would have been nice. Dealer got one SS gun at the same time he got two octagon with case coloring models. SS just does not look right in a lever gun though.
Buckhorn rear with that giant lollipop front are not to my preference, but will change if my tang sight will ever show up!
Now if Rossi Had only picked a it faster twist rate.
