If you want new you are pretty much forced to buy Winchester. Their new guns are top quality. It is either that or buy used.
Actually I heard their new firearms are suffering in the QC department ever since the factory switch.
I've been shooting an 1892 Rossi Puma in .357 since 1987. No issues, more than pleased with the quality and performance.
I was really lusting after a new '73 in .357mag until I saw the made in Japan jazz stamped on the weapon. Sure it's outstanding but that just feels wrong.If you want new you are pretty much forced to buy Winchester. Their new guns are top quality. It is either that or buy used.
