Thoughts on big loop lever actions.............
I have the same 16" Rossi carbine in 357 Death Ray. Mine wears stainless steel parts and what looks like weird maple stained orange. Luck of the draw on the wood, but that can be refinished fairly easily. Be careful about the forends on Rossi 92s however, buggers to remove at times.
Standard lever here, and I have ZERO experience with big hoops, save for having to jump through more than I care for over the last 57 years.
Never felt a need for a big hoop as I am very accustomed to standard loops (left handed doncha know), but I guess it might come in handy for...sumpin'...someday?
If it floats your boat...go for it. It can always be changed out or cut down and rewelded into an alternative shape.
