Hi guys, I've just bought one of these in 12g and I love it. I bought it for when my family and I go for outings in the bush. I wanted something light and handy and I wanted external hammers for safety. The Rossi seemed to fit the bill and it was only $300! I re-did the stock finish, shortened the butt by an inch and added a recoil pad and shortened the barrels to 16" (legal in my area) for a total length of just 30". It is now light, super fast to use, super handy and super lethal! At fifteen meters it will put all 9 pellets of Federal load of SG 00 into about 6" - and right where the bead says it will. That is awesome defensive-range performance for anything from goats, pigs to feral dogs. Heck, I'd even use it on deer at that range.. If anyone see's one of these Rossi's for sale, and they're looking for a coach gun - snap it up! They are rugged and reliable and with the shortened barrels they look fantastic! GB Russ. |

Also can't speak more highly of the Federal Powershok 2 3/4 00
Buckshot. You get a full 1325fps velocity and really tight patterns - at least I did, heaps tighter than the Super X buckshot. It's pretty cheap too... |
