I remember the balloon stuff CW. I remember seeing it for sale at gas stations and party stores here in Michigan. Now I was 8 or 9 years old when my mom got me it. So you could still get it all the way until 92 93. But I remember the way it smelled most people would have been offended by the smell. Not me I thought it smelled good like fresh spray paint or gasoline. What a blast from the past. I remember it came in a cardboard and plastic blister pack similar to a hot wheels car. But way cheaper it was like 99 cents it was always next to the cheap army men or cheap cars. Super elastic bubble plastic was what it was called it was manufactured by the toy company whaaam o
You made a great choice IMHO! Man that looks so much better then that big red dot. So long as you get a comfortable cheek weld your golden. I used to play with that bubble straw toy myself... just used to get ticked off when the tube of the stuff ran out! LOL Take care
I'm the same way when it comes to mounting optics as low as possible. With lever guns being designed from the ground up as guns with iron sites only, it's even more important to do everything possible to get an optic as low to the bore as possible in order to be able to pull up the rifle and consistently get a proper cheek weld that's not uncomfortably high. The stock on that Browning is GEORGIOUS!!!! What a beautiful rifle!!!
Can't wait to see how well the optics work with the 454 recoil. Yep sometimes the Brazilian Hardwood doesn't overwhelm like a good piece of Walnut 😂. The small dot looks good on there. Take care. 👍🙏🇺🇸👊
Hey CW! I remember that bubble stuff. I sure do like that swampfox dot on the 454. Nice and low. Like you, I prefer my optics as low as I can get them.
Hiya C-Dub! Yay! It must be “get-an-optic-in-the-mail” day. I got a scope for the new RPR. I’m right with you on the optic you chose. I actually like the looks of that one better. I think you’ve found the recipe for putting a dot on a ‘92. P.S. I remember that gummy stuff for making a balloon. I remember that smell.. 😄🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸❤️

Interesting.... I have a high mount red dot on my 16" 44 Mag Rossi right now... but it seems a little high to me.... I may have to get a flush mount - I have a Steves Gunz mount on mine. And you must be old because I remember that stuff you were talking about too - the plastic stuff with the tube you blow on to make a bubble-balloon. The stuff was in a tube.
That mount looks really clean. I just purchased a R92 Puma .357 in stainless steel and has black and grey laminate stocks. I mounted a Crimson Trace dot on the pic rail and sighted it in but I myself like a low mount. I wanted to install a 1-4 scope and I can’t because of the top ejecting action. Any suggestions?
Please tell me where I can get that mount .. I watched twice , still didn't hear that info. If you can see your front sight, the peep sight that replaces the R92 safety I mentioned in an earlier comment might co-witness.
I do not remember myself. But I know it's in one of the COMENT's SECTIONS for the videos on this rifle. Ck my email in my about page and email me if ya still cannot find ill look around and find it for ya. I was just in the safe and the mount has no name on it. I do know that the first mount I had was a NOE bullets. But its discontinued and now on my buddies 454. That one was just the pic rail style. The one I have is a RMR style for a REFLEX site direct mount.
Hey CW, as always, a great and informative video. love the toys but they just don't look right with those on them. I understand why they are there but the make me squint every time I see them. Much respect Brother.
I know you don't like it, I DONT like it, but we all have our limitations. When ya cant see the sites, you cant hope to hit the mark. For me, its this or I dont Shoot or Hunt I have lost enough things I love....
Well since I'm an old half blind ol mountain man, I like the idea of a red dot. Now if they'd just make me one with 2, Or 3 power, and 1 moa dot. Or is that too much to ask for from these optics companies?? Mountain man
Only one way to find out if it's the same as the balloon stuff. Put some on a straw and give it a try, if it makes a balloon you should make a video shooting it with the new Red dot 👉🏼💨🎈God bless
This is a Justice. So RMR foot print. It fits and works well. If I was buying (cause I had Justice) Id look for a Green Dot. Green is easier for most folks ta see and has advantages for astigmatism.
@@andyjurek8645 OOH its been a decade or more since I ordered... Pyramid maybe?? I know I have seen these on Amazon too. Try "Hammer mount"? I cannot put links in uTube is funny about selling presumed or otherwise.
Id rather use a green dot, but couldn't find one that was in OD green. I have the Rossi as well in .357 stainless and put a primary arms red dot on od green but dot red. I have it sighted in at 100 yds,and its great. I think though at some future point im going to get a micro prism. It had the benefit of showing the crosshairs without being lit.ruclips.net/video/xrqBeWTCW4A/видео.htmlsi=zQ8UCbWOgX3AUTEY
I wish I could use a green Prysm!!! I sited these today. AWESOME sight picture. Super clarity crisp round dot. Im so impressed I want to change every single dot I have ta Green!! Yes THAT impressed!!
Glad you like the mount, great looking rifles! I admit I'm jealous of the walnut on that browning.
You do a awesome job. Hope I have bolstered some sales for ya!! Yes those stocks are stunning! I have a Lam set coming for the 454!!
CW Love your videos. Thanks for all the Rossi Videos, especially the 454 Casull.
Awesome Jeff Thank you!!! Another Video coming soon!

No doubt!
Really nice, CW. I love that Browning. I remember that stuff, too. It did have a certain aroma that I liked. Thanks Brother.
Thanks for watching hope ya feeling better!!!!;?
Hey Jamie. Hope ur feeling a little bit better today then last night 🌙 .
Looks good. I’m like you I would have to try and fill the dovetail for the sights. Thanks for sharing.
You bet 👍🏼😝👍🏼😝👍🏼
That Browning has some awesome wood !
Sure enough!! I love it!!

I'm on the fence on a red/green dot. That mount is sweet! Nice and low. As Mario would say "more gooder.".. Good stuff CW 👍🏻👍🏻
Kinda agree ggw outdoors
Right on yuppers!! 💪🏼👍🏼😝💪🏼👍🏼
Cool little powerhouse. Those little 92's are handy in any area of the country. Grouse to grizz they can take care of business.
Just about!!! Light handy and quick!

IT SHOOT WELL BILL!!!
That low base really looks good.
Its as low as I have found! I like it allot!
Good evening 🙏 Cw . Both rifles look great. That mount looks way better got that dot down low make way easier hopefully.
Its good now James!!

I agree. Great lil rifles ! The mount is best served with a small light optic. Like a red dot or reflex.
I want me one of these 454s. Just needs the action slicked up to be smoother as some leverguns do and she'll be an absolute peach of a rifle.
These new Rossi levers are just as smooth as any Winchester Henry or Marlin!! I was very pleased!!!
@@cw2a that's definitely good to hear! I just wish they'd get smart and make these things have a tang safety.
Looks great!
It does!
Please tell me where I can get that mount .. I watched twice , still didn't hear that info. If you can see your front sight, the peep sight that replaces the R92 safety I mentioned in an earlier comment might co-witness.

Where did you get the leather strap for the handle. Thanks same for the carry strap too. Thanks again
Carry strap is old I have had for a long time.
The leather wrap is from is from a Company called LEATHER WRAP! Good stuff!!
Not sure I like dots on rifles but the right profile/design helps
Agreed! Im liking THIS one allot!!
Two questions Sir. I did not catch the manufacturer of that base mount. And does the dove tail drive out left to right or right to left ?
The Rossi base is made by Rucker Machine.
Most Dovetails drive out to the Right and go in from Left.
Hey CW, as always, a great and informative video. love the toys but they just don't look right with those on them. I understand why they are there but the make me squint every time I see them. Much respect Brother.

For me, its this or I dont Shoot or Hunt I have lost enough things I love....
@cw2a I get it brother. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do to keep it going.
Did the gun drilled and tapped from the factory.
Yes sir the Rossi was D&T from factory. The Brownings mount utilizes the dovetail ONLY so no extra smithing or altering needed for EITHER OF THEM!!
Well since I'm an old half blind ol mountain man, I like the idea of a red dot. Now if they'd just make me one with 2, Or 3 power, and 1 moa dot. Or is that too much to ask for from these optics companies??
Mountain man
Magnifiers!! Look at magnifiers!!
Looks good
❤️🩹❤️🩹Thank you!! ❤️🩹❤️🩹
Only one way to find out if it's the same as the balloon stuff. Put some on a straw and give it a try, if it makes a balloon you should make a video shooting it with the new Red dot 👉🏼💨🎈God bless
At the price they charge... Nope Ill just speculate!! BUT if I could find the "toy" stuff...
Which swamp fox did you buy and can you tell me which mount from Rucker matches up to the site
This is a Justice. So RMR foot print. It fits and works well. If I was buying (cause I had Justice) Id look for a Green Dot. Green is easier for most folks ta see and has advantages for astigmatism.
I thought the same thing. I wanted to get a straw. Lol just thinking of it my cheeks hurt.
😛😛👍🏼👍🏼😛😛
what base is it ? I have a stainless R92 in 44 magnum, and would like to do this to mine.
It is a dedicated reflex base. Very good quality.
👍👍
Hope ya feelin better Don!!
Where did you get the mount for the red dot and what brand was it?
It's made by Ruker machine, I got it online.
Ruckermachine (dot) com
@@cw2a just ordered one. Nice work. I've been looking for something like that for mine as well. Thanks!! Merry christmas
@@mikedaley2882 Awesome Mike!! Merry Christmas Brother!!
Where did you get the mount? Sweet man like to do the same to mine
Its made by Rucker Machine.
@@cw2a thank you sir
What was the model # for that mount?
IIRC they only have two. One for Doctor/Vortex and one for RMR.
Can you post where you ordered it from cant seem to find it.

I wouldn't be able to get past the Blank spot in the Barrel.
Hahaha. I can see that. I just dont look. 🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸😛🇺🇸💪🏼
