What do you guys know about Rossi quality?

I was at the range today and shot a Rossi a friend of mine got on sale at Wal-mart back around Christmas. It's the rifle that's (I believe) based on the Taurus Judge action. We ran both .410 and some 45 Colt handloads I had through it, and it was a lot of fun to shoot.

I wouldn't mind having one but outside of a few rounds today I have no knowledge of Rossi.

LOL!!  You used "Rossie" and "Quality" in the same sentence.
Rossie is reallllly hit and miss...sometimes you get one that is just fine......and sometimes.....WOW.





I am still trying to find the time to fix my Rossie 62 Pump.





Barrel flops around in the receiver and the cartridge carrier tunnel is too tight for most rim fire rims.





NOT one of my more brilliant moves.

Bought a Rossi .223/20ga combo several years ago. Broke the first firing pin at about 200 rounds. Ordered a new one. Broke within 100 rounds. Ordered another, replaced it again and sold it. Never again.

they make russian quality control look good. As others said, there are good examples out there.

I have no problems with my Rossi 92 357/38. Built nice and runs good.

My Rossi/ Navy Arms model 92 has been perfect with weak .38 specials right up to the hottest possible .357 Magnum handloads known to man.       Its one of the few guns I own that will never be sold.

I bought my Father inlaw a Rossi snubnose 38 years ago, it wasn't a bad little gun.

Like wise. Once the furniture comes back from being refinished, i'll put a suppressor on it.

I got into Rossi guns in a hap-hazard way. I'd always wanted a companion carbine to compliment my Ruger .44's .
My 1st attempt w/ a Winchester was less than successful as it was the worst firearm I had ever purchased.
The Braztech/ Rossi .44 Mag. was better, and w/ some enjoyable work was an absolute joy.
 I don't know if I've had just good luck,  but both the the Rossi guns that I've acquired have responded very well to some minor
enjoyable modifications on my part. They are a very viable option as far as lever-guns are concerned.

The 92 lever guns are great.  Other stuff is hit or miss.
