There were several 1894's on Gunbroker this week. Can you mount a scope on a Rossi over the bore or do you have to offset it like the old Winnies?

You can either get an offset mount or, as many do, use a scout scope with extended eye relief. This is a very informative site re. Rossi. www.rossi-rifleman.com/index.php |

I have owned for a brief period of time (early '70's) a Winchester M-94 in .44 Magnum and also one of Rugers Semi-auto carbines. I currently own a Rossi Puma ('92 Winchester clone) in .44-40 Win. which is very accurate but haven't used it for hunting. In my honest opinion,the BEST and most accurate .44 Magnum rifle is Ruger's Model 77/44. Remington once chambered their Model 788 in .44 Magnum and it was also an accurate rifle.

Bucshunter.. If you end up buying a Marlin with Microgroove rifling you may have accuracy issues with it using some factory loaded ammo. I have one built in 1978, and it was horrible until I began using bullets with a .430 diameter. The usual .429 stuff would yield four inch 100 yard groups. When I began loading with .430 diameter bullets in started shooting two inch to one inch groups at 100 yards.

I was thinking about picking up the 77/44 for next year since I'm terrible with my shotgun. I keep going back and forth between that and the 77/357 since my carry gun is a 357 and I could share ammo. Still leaning towards the larger caliber though since it's for whitetail. |

It's not forgiving enough if you don't hit where your aiming, they will get up and run. My dad has the 77/44,its a really good shooter. |

Different direction, but I picked up a .357 single shot a few years back and reamed it to .357 maximum. Very effective on deer.
Of course, this is a hand-loading proposition.
I have a Rossi 92 in .44 mag, but can't bring myself to put a scope on it, so, with my old eyes, it's pretty much a "plinking" rifle for me. Loaded light it is a joy to shoot.
