I have a Rossi 59 and a deluxe Winchester 275. I prefer to shoot with a scope, so the 275 works better for me. The entire series of lever, pump, and semi-auto rifles that include the 275 have crappy triggers and alloy receivers, but are otherwise pretty decent rifles. The 255 lever action and the 275 pump action were the only common non-bolt action .22 MAGk repeating rifles during their production run and their popularity, or lack there of, was probably tied to the cartridge that they were chambered for as much as for the rifles themselves.
