I've had three Rossi's, a 357 and two 45 Colts. The 357 took a lot of work to get it feeding well . All of them were very accurate . They can be great rifles but quality control is all over the place and you do not want to deal with Taurus or Rossi customer service. I am told QC has improved a bit since CBC took over. I'll probably roll the dice on a 44 mag this summer and if so, I'll post a review.
Replacing the sights can be tricky because they're dovetail dimensions are all over the place too. I wouldn't say don't buy a Rossi but it sure helps if you can do a lot of your own Gunsmithing.
Yep, after you slick up the action/trigger, replace the ejector spring, drill and tap the receiver, put on some good sights and put a decent finish on the stock they generally aren't bad.
