I am currently debating whether to purchase either a 1861 Armi Sport Springfield or a .357 Rossi Model 92. I have long wanted both firearms; and just sold a gun; so I have $650 to use for a purchase. I love Civil War history and already have a Colt Dragoon and 58 Remington. However, I have often thought about trying to get a reproduction Springfield.

On the other hand; I can spend less money and get another dream gun;
.357 Model 92 lever action.

Just curious about any feedback from you folks about my delima of indecision. It is hard when you only have enough cash to get one gun; when you would like to get two.
