I haven't put too many rounds through mine yet. I pulled the wood off & it is now black. I REALLY like the black wood with bright stainless. Not too sure how well this finish is going to hold up yet though. I have to say that I had some real trouble with putting the barrel band back on after. The holes for the bolt just wouldn't line up with the notch in the barrel.
The rear sight comes off for a scope installation, so I'm not too worried about that.
While I had the wood off I did a little bit of smoothing of the action. The trigger feels a good bit better now. I wishi would've thought to measure it before & after. I also noticed that the capacity is listed as being an 8+1, but it is really 9+1.

Re: Looking for Lever Action
I really enjoyed shooting my Dad's 94 in .44, so I visited mr surveyor's buddy & picked this up yesterday.
It's a stainless Rossi 16" in .357 Magnum. I probably could've haggled the price down a bit, but I've been looking for one of these for a good while. The action isn't near as smooth as my Dad's old gun, but I didn't have any feeding problems with 357 or 38. I may do a little work to the internals to tailor it to me. I'm also not really digging the orangish wood, so I will probably refinish it in the future. I am definitely going to add a scope on top.
