I will have to wait until I have shot one. I have several Henry rifles and a couple of JM Marlins. Just having my hands and eyes on it the fit and finish are great. The action is smooth and the peep rear sight makes picking up the front sight really easy. It is heavy as like it was built for work.
Ehh already have 2 of those, 2 in 41 magnum, 1 in 44 Magnum, 1 in 35 Remington and 1 in 17 HMR. So versatility isn’t really a consideration for me.
I'll see your 30-30 and raise you a 45-70
The best thing you can do with a Rossi is leave it at the gun store.
About 20 years ago I bought my son a Rossi youth 410 single for his tenth birthday . It was a very solid piece with nice blue and hardwood. Kids grow quickly so we ended up trading it towards his first adult deer rifle.
All of the above to include how convenient it is to pair it with the same caliber pistol out in the bush.
Imagine extending your side arms reach to 200 yards. That is what a pistol caliber carbine can do for you. So one cartridge is all you have to carry and it works in both guns from 0-200 yards.
While I've no grudge against the .41 Magnum, it's the 16 gauge of the Pistol world: Sort of in between the .357 and .44 magnum and very few places to obtain ammunition from....If you're already shooting it and especially handloading for it, you're doing alright if you only shoot a Box of shells every decade.
I have both a Marlin and a Henry in 41 Mag. The big advantage to the 10mm is you don’t have to special order it, very few stores carry 41 Mag these days.
