I'm in agreement with this.
I have a pair of Rossi 92s in .357 Mag, a 20" short rifle and a 20" rifle. If I could only have 1 of the 2 it would be the 20" short rifle as the velocity difference is only 20 fps.
I can get 2,210 fps with a 125 gr XTP and that load will produce 2" groups at 100 yards with the Marbles Tang sight and Lyman 17AHB front sight (and I use a Merit #3 or #4 adjustable aperture in them). A 170 yard zero gives a 3.7" maximum mid range trajectory at 100 yards and it's only 4" low at 200 yards, where it still has 1,296 fps and 464 ft pounds.
I also get 2" 100 yard groups with Federal 158 gr JSPs. The velocity is *only* 1820 fps, but it only costs about 25 yards in effective range. With a 150 yard zero, I have a 3,7" maximum mid range trajectory at 90 yards and it's 4" low at 175 yards where it has 1277 fps and 570 ft pounds.
With either load, the recoil is much milder than a 32,000 PSI "Ruger only" 255 gr .45 Colt load, the accuracy and trajectory are much better.
A 250 gr .45 Colt load at muzzle velocity of 1,300 fps with a 120 yard zero will be 4" high at 65 yards and 4" low at 140 yards, with 1054 fps and 617 ft pounds.
I also like the magazine capacity with the .357s. The 20" short rifle will hold 12 rounds and the 24" rifle will hold 14.

Where is all the Win & Marlin .219Zippers and the Savage 99s in
22 Hi-Power? Some of you guys have to be holding out. I haven't
got any so you guys must. Another couple calibres you couldn't
give away at one time, now collectors items.

I really like my 1982 Marlin Model 1894C in 357 Magnum. I put on a Williams Fire front sight and a foolproof receiver sight. It is really fun to shoot.

My 1960 Model 39 caught my attention with the inlay through the stock of light wood. Do not know who did it but it is a beautiful job. When I got it, it did not have sights so I just updated the scope.

Actually I picked up my first Winchester rifle today. I was waiting for the right one to come along
It's a 9422 S-L-LR. The serial number dates it to 1976. The wood on it is absolutely beautiful. I don't have any better pics yet though.

Here's Savage 99eg I just got recently. It's not the rifle
I wanted but it was in nice shape and price was reasonable. I wanted a 250/3000 but would rather have a carbine model. Even on 99s I don't like pistol
grip stocks. I have already jerked off the scope and
Weaver pivot mounts. Put a tang sight on it. Gun has
been D&T for scope and has sling studs installed. 99s
are scarce in my area and most I have owned were 300s & 303Sav.
