When I was looking for a lever gun, I did a lot of research on what's available now and settled on an RG4570S. It's not the 1892 Winchester 44-40 I'd dreamed of since growing up in the '60's watching "The Rifleman" but I'm quite happy with the Rossi as a good compromise and it felt better in my hands over the others I'd held recently. It's my first lever gun but won't be my last! When I am more financially able, I'll be keeping my eyes out for more collectable vintage Winchesters, Marlins, Brownings, etc. and in more calibers. As I'd suspected, lever guns are way cool and that 45-70 cartridge is awesome! I'd never really paid attention to that cartridge until my local gun store (Bob's Sunoco - That Fishing Place) showed it to me. When people see me pull one of those out of the ammo box their eyes open wider than a '70's pornstarlet gazing upon John Holmes for the first time!
