Pondering a lever action

I don't have one personally, but a guy at my local range shoots a rossi. It seems to work pretty good and decently accurate. Would you ever do any cowboy shooting with one or just plinking around having fun?

I have two lever actions in . 45 Colt, both are Uberti's. I use them for cowboy action shooting. One is a Model 73 with a 20" octagon barrel and the other one is an iron frame Henry. It has a 24" octagon barrel. The iron frame models are kind of scarce, most of the ones I have seen have had brass frames.

Here is my Model 1873:



Here is my Henry:



Both of these Uberti's are kind of pricey. I got them used. $900.00 for the 73' and $950.00 for the Henry.

You can't go wrong with a Rossi 92. I have a blued one in .44 magnum with a 24" octagon barrel and I also have a "Mare's Leg" pistol in .44 magnum. The 92 rifle took a little work to smooth up the action. The pistol came pretty smooth right out of the box.
