I have two of them (a blued & a SS in carbine). I have firelapped them and the before & after groups were significantly improved i.e. from 2" down to 1 1/2" @ 50 yds with BP subs. Before the advent of short stroke kits the Rossi '92 short rifle (20 octagon barrel) was the gun used by many of the top shooters in Cowboy Action. The shorter barrel was handier around props but the extra weight of the octagon barrel & curved butt plate gave it more stability for staying on target than the carbine.
