A rifle and a revolver that eat the same ammunition makes plain sense on a working ranch. This 1892 is chambered in .357 Magnum, so it also shoots .38 Special, and it carries ten rounds in the magazine tube under a 20-inch blued barrel.

The Large Loop lever is the feature to notice. It leaves room for a gloved hand, which anyone who has worked cattle or sat in a deer stand in January will appreciate. The 1892 is a slim, quick-pointing design from the old Browning days, and walnut furniture gives it the warm look of a real lever gun.

At fifty to a hundred yards, this is a fine rifle for hogs, coyotes, and whitetails where the law permits straight-wall pistol calibers. Cowboy action shooters will also find it a natural match to a .38 Special revolver on the line.

Wipe it down after wet days, check the screws now and then, and it will serve you well. It ships to your FFL dealer, where the background check is completed before pickup.
