Snagged this one today (top) to complement my others in this caliber with a light weight version. Trigger is the best I have ever encountered on a lever action, 3 pounds and breaks like glass. Did a little file work on the hammer to smooth out the action. Weighs about 2 pounds less than the guide gun.

Sweet looking guns. I'm thinking about the Rio Grande myself.

If it's as good as the Rossi R92 in 357 that I bought recently I think you'll like it. As you noted on the trigger, it is quite good for an inexpensive gun... Are you going to scope it?

That's Sweet

Nice lookin' rifle! Have always admired those lever guns in 45-70!

No, I want to keep it light.

I have one just like it and am really happy with it. For an inexpensive gun it sure surprised me. Mine still has the rail that came with it and I scoped it. I am thinking about removing the scope though and either keeping the factory sights or putting on a ghost ring. I am also going to send off the lever to mule man and have him make the loop smaller. That is the one thing I can't warm up to on the rifle.

Link to mule man? I may want to do that too.

Ask and ye shall receive.

So looking at your rifle you inspired me to remove the 1-4x scope and the rail. It looks really clean now. One question though, did you find any screws to put into the receiver or did you leave them off?

Thanks for the link. I covered the open screw holes with a trip of non skid black tape.

I have that rifle. I took it to the range about two weeks ago and my brother in law couldn't handle the recoil - he gave up after two rounds. I shoot a sweet three shot group with the rounds he didn't use. By the way, he is an Army vet and I am a Navy vet. Who's the sissy?
