    You remind me of a great friend gone to heaven. Modern day cowboy/MTN man. This bear Hunter had all kinds of firearms, but he truly loved his revolvers (Redhawk) and his lever action Rifles.. thank you for your demonstration. I watched countless times.. and learned it your way, I recently bought the family and I a Henry big boy "all weather" repeating rifle chambered in calibers of .357mag/.38spl ... Got to cowboy it at the range! Boy it brought attention and curious shooters.. love how a lever action smoothly flows through the motions.. shaking hands real nicely to our Rifle, again thanks for your help cowboy.

    Yes. Just about every centerfire firearm manufactured in the last 50 years or so are dry-fire safe, assuming the parts are in spec. If you're especially concerned and are unwilling to accept the word of some dude on the internet (as well you shouldn't), review the manual that came with your Rossi (or go online for the PDF if you don't have it), if that fails, call the company.

    Almost seems like cheating. I'm no expert on history, but I feel like they didn't have short stroke rifles in the late 1800's, at least not in substantial calibers. Correct me if I'm wrong. It's Cowboy Action Shooting, and I feel modifications like that defeat the purpose.
