    LSR .38 Lever Action

    Got signed off at my local club two weeks ago to shoot the .38 Rossi's and Winchesters we've got as club guns.

    All I can say I've never had so much fun with a firearm since shooting a 1911 years ago, I must have fired over 100 rounds of .38 in just two visits.

    Anyone else use one of these?

    I have a rossi in the Man's calibre 45 Colt

    Sadly my club's range doesn't support fullbore, so I only get to shoot it every other month at 100 yards.

    I love the thwack of 250 grains hitting the butts.
    Lots of interesting articles here

    I enjoy them, but it would have to be an Uberti, such as this to own one.
    Not keen on Marlins, or new Winchesters. Rossi sound promising, but I haven't shot one. Henry apparently make a decent product too.

    Uberti are perhaps delicate, but they feel as good as they look; Marlin always struck me as cheap, or overpriced rather, since they cost a fortune now. I have shot Marlins in most usual calibres, and from various manufacturing years, etc.

    Lever actions are great fun and if you get into reloading the ammo is cheap as chips! I have a Winchester 94 in 357 and can rattle off loads of rounds in very little time.

    One of the members at the club let me try his .45 Winchester, those rounds certainly rattle the backstop more than the .38.

    I like the look of the .22 Henry as well. Also the stainless Rossi's we have are great rifles.

    The Rossis are notoriously short & to make matters worse - they put a curved steel butt plate on them - so you cant lengthen the stock without major surgery - DOH !

    I enjoy my Rossi - but can't shoot it in any speed disciplines as it comes up to the shoulder about 1 1/2" short !

    If you are venturing into gallery - please please please try a number of rifles before you buy !

    Cheers
