I've been interested in getting a 45 colt Rifle for hunting in indiana. Would the Rossi circuit be a bad choice, or should i just stick with it in a leveraction? thanks!

I'd go with a regular rifle. A .45 round out of a .410 chamber will result in a less than 50 yard (likely a 25 yard effective range) gun

I wouldn't own a rossi personally; I've picked a few up in gun shops and all seem weak in the hinge when you break them down. I could've just run across a few abused ones though.

I agree with danf and dbd870. For deer use a "regular" rifle, not one with a .45-.410 chamber. A regular rifle should give you considerably more effective range to get clean one-shot kills.

I wouldn't own a rossi personally; Not to mention they are owned by Taurus, which is one of the last ones mentioned under the category of "good customer service". |

Several lever action cowboy type rifles available in that caliber. I've got a Uberti 1873 Winchester replica that is pretty sweet. Almost a little too pretty to take hunting.
