Have to admit its purty slick...accurate too...45 Colt

20" oct/case hardened...he removed safety...slicked up...

added saddle ring.....after shipping added two ways...

I was $300 in to it....not one of my best rifle investments

Live & learn.......my last Rossi.....

Like you, I try to do all I can myself.

But, everyone isn't so inclined.

I don't have a Rossi, not looking for one.

I cleaned up the action in both a 44 mag and .357 Rossi.They were the earlier ones. Not big job. Can't see buying one and paying some one to do it. A fellow ought to just find an earlier Marlin 94 and pay the extra money that way

I have a 20" round barrel stainless. Won't shoot some of my .357 ammo but that might be the bullet type, not the gun. Won mine in a big buck contest a few years ago. She's a keeper.

Joebob is right about the rossi being dead simple to slick up.
It took me about an hour including learning the action/ take down.
How many of you change something about each and every rifle you get.
No different here.

A great rifle. Lots of fun.

They smooth out a lot over the first few hundred rounds, but I never found the action objectionable, even out of the box.
