I have an older one with the 24" octagon barrel, very accurate all way out to 100 yds. probably farther but I really haven't tried.
Took a nice buck with it the first year, and I run some 180 gr Missouri bullets through it and it will definitely ring the steel at a 100.
The only thing I did to mine was to shorten the mag tube spring, once I cut it in half and reinstalled it, I have had no feeding issues.

You have one of the good old ones.
 
Mine is an original Amedeo Rossi (pre-braztec pre-Taurus pre-CBC) and it feeds short 38s all the way up to my 183-ish grain .357 at about 1.615". It was made with ZERO plastic parts, no safety, no medallions, nice wood that looks real and not painted. The only downside to one of these is the band mounted sight. Not that I care but someone industrious could cut off the sight blade and add a standard dovetail if so desired. I would never scope a lever and I would never buy stainless so my SRC92 is perfect for me.
