Rossi Rifleman

Just got a 92 in 357 stainless 16 inch. This one a factory refurb but really nice. Plan was to cut the loading tube by one inch and thread for a suppressor. Problem is this gun is so nice I cannot bring myself to do so. This is added to a 20 inch blue in 357 and a 20 inch stainless in 454. Did I say that stainless 454 is my favorite of all my rifles including Weatherbys and high end stuff. The 454 will send a 300 grain bullet the same speed as my Marlin Guide Gun 45-70. The darn Rossi 92s are addictive. I am watching several on line sites and there are no Marlins or Rossis to be had. Toole gun supply is showing a Winchester 92 in 357 for about $900. Rossi could really sell some guns if they would tool up on 92s. People have all the ARs they need and frankly the AR fad is getting a little booring in my view.

I'm a member of a Lever Gun group on Facebook, and some guy mentioned a couple days ago that he just found a new Rossi 92 .454 in a local gun shop, been sitting in the back for a few years, still in the box. Got it cheap too, I think it was $475 or so.

I just saw three at Dunhams this week. A .45c and two 38/357's. $600 plus. All blue.

Right proud of those, aren't they?

Did you by chance ask if those were new arrivals, or old stock? Rifles or carbines? Pricey, yes - but be interesting to know if they're new arrivals or not.

A store in the next town over has two new style blue 44s, one 16" one 20" but they are not NIB, just consignment I think. One is $499 and one is $450.
$600 is an outer space price.

There are only 21 Rossi 92s listed on GunBroker, that is an all-time low from my observations. Most are in the $400 to $500 range. Three of those are 357 Mags, and all three are listed in the $600 to $700 range. One is an Amadeo Rossi 67, closing tomorrow at, it has a receiver sight. Given that the sight is probably a $150 addition including the drill and tap, it would be a good choice.

I watch the Rossi's available on GB, just to follow a trend, and for the last six months; every month there the available rifles are halved. We are about five weeks out from a catalog to view what the plan is. At the same time, Rossi didn't produce what was in last years catalog, so it is tough to figure out what is happening.

I just bought a new in box Rossi.44 mag,24 inch octagon barrel for $625.00 out the door. It was at a pawn shop in Winfield ,Louisiana, There we’re also two more round barrel,one a .45 colt and the other a 357 at about .$525.00 each.

You should hurry back and get the other two, or at least the .357. Hey, it's only money!

There's a .45C 16" for $450 locally and the two under-$500 .44s mentioned above. None are new but are way less than $600. That's just insane to me. I don't see Rossis much but they are never over $525 locally.....see one sell about once per six weeks.
