I own a 20' bbl. Rossi Puma Model 92 in .454 Casull to complement my Ruger Super Redhawk 7.5" bbl. revolver in the same caliber.

Recoil !! I have a Brown/Grizzly/Kodiak bear backup gun which is a Remington Model 700 in .416 Rem. Mag. chopped to a 20" bbl. The gun weighs 8 1/4 lbs. Now that's recoil !!

I shoot the 350 grain Speer Mag-Tip bullet as I find this drops the big bruins pretty quick. I preferred the thinner jacked thickness (0.032") Barnes 300 grain originals as bear killers but they're getting hard to get.

Compared to the customized 700 in .416 Rem. Mag. the Puma is a cuddly pussycat.
