Howdy Zip,
The Winchester 94s are good rifles,but they were designed to shoot longer rifle ammo such as the 30-30. That said,a lot of folks use them. You can't coddle them-a firm hand on the lever will assure a more reliable operation.
Lots of folks shoot Rossi 92s. A lot of them benefit from having an action job done by a competent gunsmith to make them more reliable. A new shooter with a balky rifle is not a good combination. Rossi no longer makes rifles to sell directly to the public-they now make them for Navy Arms,and those are more expensive than standard Rossi's. You can still find Rossi rifles for sale,however. If you can find a used one that has already had an action job,you're ahead of the game.
Bellicose Bill
