"Puma" was Rossi's trade name for their '92 repro in the early days. They took the cat's head badge off the side of the receiver and dropped the Puma name - probably something to do with CAS.
The 1892 copies made in Italy by Armi Chiappa are closer to the Winchester from the point of view of the action. The Rossi uses a coil mainspring while the AC has a more authentic flat spring. Right out of the box the Armi Chiappa is as slick as a whistle and the fit and finish is super. Yes, the Rossi is a good little rifle, but you get what you pay for.
