I can only say that I am exceedingly happy with the accuracy of my Rossi Model 92 Puma.

This is my best 10-shot group from 50-yards. I went for the heart in honor of the Clint Eastwood movie, "A Fistful of Dollars". This is the movie where the main bad guy (Ramon) shoots Clint in the heart several times with his Winchester Model 1892 only to find that Clint was wearing a metal plate under his poncho.

OK, OK... So my target wasn't moving and I was using a scope, but I was using a Model 1892. Jeesh!

Congrats! Like the scope.

I have the Puma Saddle ring carbine in 45lc. Haven't used it for deer but it works wonders on coyote! Mine will hold a one-hole group (from a rest) out to 75yds with the open sights. I don't see well enough anymore to shoot much farther without a scope.

Enjoy

Just ran across an article yesterday ranting about how good the Puma was for home defense.

Yikes! I've always considered the .44 Magnum almost overkill in a handgun for home defense... Can you just imagine what the extra 300fps to 500fps would do out of a 20" carbine barrel?

I suppose that it would be perfect for those multi-intruder situations for lining up the perfect 2-kills with 1-shot.

A good solid lever gun in a pistol caliber, along with a pistol in that caliber, are a great combo. I have a Marlin in .357, as well as a SAA clone in .357. They just seem to go naturally together.

Nice looking rifle, happy hunting.

Just picked up the .44 in Marlins 1894..... It was a toss up between that or a sweet used BLR in .358. Shoots tight at 75 yds with open sights but looking to add ghost ring to it for quick acquisition. Suggestion for HD: To avoid over penetration use .44 specials in 180gr or load down your mag stuff. Very versatile gun config and caliber, you can go for 310gr or plink with .44 spec! That Puma is pretty, good luck and have fun sir..
