    I can't say I am a fan of Rossi as a rule but that is a gret looking rifle with much better wood then I normally see on these guns. I would say $400.00 plus.

    Ditto on wood and perryshooters $$ estimate. I had one that was a bit rough inside. Made a winter project of completely disassembling it and eliminating a number of burrs and rough spots; lots of time with the Arkansas hardstone, and it ended up being a very smooth nice working little rifle. Shouldn't have sold it. Will likely pick up another one day.

    That litle disc had or has a picture of a cougar on it.the carbines were called rossi cougars as I recall.
    Very nice cowboy action rifle or Hog gun.I'd pay 400 for an older one in that condition.

    Gents,

    The silver disc used to hold a high-relief "Puma" head. Some people do not like that medalion. I find it looks a little out of place.

    I do not know if it was Rossi that came up with the "Puma" name & likeness, or if it was Interarms that did it. Right now, Legacy Sports International uses the name "Puma" for several kinds of guns that it sells. They used to sell Rossi-made 92s. The Taurus takeover of Rossi put an end to that. LSI recently started selling Armi Sport/ Chiappa Model 92s, and they are calling those Pumas, just like they did with the Rossi-made guns. I have read that LSI is the successor to Interarms, so holding on to the Puma brand makes since.

    I have, and have worked on, Rossi 92s. They are good rifles, but sometimes need a little tweaking. $350.00-to-$450.00 is a good pricerange for what you have there, sherpa. ...and, your wood stocks look quite nice, too.[;)]
