I have a Stainless 20'' Rossi '92 in .357 mag and love it. Very accurate and a hoot to shoot. With cheap jacketed 158JHPs and 7.5 grains of Unique it's like shooting a .22 Mag. Shoots very well with the same loads the 686s like too. For a companion to the 629s, I have a Ruger 77/44 and a Marlin lever. The Ruger is not as classic as the lever, but carries a scope much better. With the rotary mag, it's much easier to load and unload when hunting as compared to jacking the shells outta the lever at the end of the day. Accuracy is about the same with either, with the scoped 77/44 easier on these old eyes at longer distances and smaller targets.
