Ok. So I bought a Rossi 92 in 357 mag from Buds on a whim. I started second guessing myself after reading all the horror stories online and nearly canceled my order. However it arrived yesterday and HOLY SMOKES!!
It's awesome. Now the wood isn't great but it is fit perfectly to the gun. Only one tiny spot near the barrel band where it protrudes 1-16th of an inch. Almost negligible. The bluing is deep and prefect. There are zero gaps in the wood/metal contact surfaces. The action is slick enough to work with my pinky. It has a slight bind at closing because one lug is slightly less polished (easy fix). The trigger has zero creep and breaks cleanly at 3.8 pounds. I haven't shot it yet (broke my leg the other day). The feed gate seems to open and close easily. Few visible machining marks inside but nothing I can't polish out. Absolutely worth the $479 I paid for it. Hope it shoots as good as it feels
