rWt - What's wrong with a rebounding hammer. To a traditionalist, it is not the way it was originally designed. To me, it make a terrible trigger pull even after working the surfaces over because it is so oversprung to get the hammer face inertia up in half the distance the original had. Basically lawyers meddling where common sense management left and penny pincher scaredy cats took over.
Consider the 16" to 20" barrels to a bird gun. 16" is quicker to the shoulder/target and handier in the brush than a 30" tube. Same same. I like the compactness of a 16" over the loss of ME but I miss the longer sight radius. It could be fixed with a tang sight but just don't believe they belong on a trapper.
If you happen to pick up a Rossi, check out Steve Jones's peep sight that replaces the firing pin block safety on the bolt. Greg

Thanks!!
Still looking, still reading
Maybe Marlin got it right with a 18 1/2" barrel in the 1894 .357 Mags.

FINALLY! got a chance to wring out the little Miroku this afternoon. Temp was a balmy +20F with fog, wind light and variable. Rifle was rested through the window of the pickup while I sat on the door jamb behind the partially open door. At about 100 feet, the first 4 shots stacked into one ragged hole about an inch low. And interestingly, without any sight/sight picture adjustment, it's an almost effortless 100 yard shooter. Maybe my favorite little rifle of all time!
