[@hughmcnicholl1912]

Im a big fan of .22 pumps and I recently bought the wood version Rossi. Took it to the range and it functioned perfectly. No need to press the slide lock with every shot. When I picked it up at my local gun store the action was pretty stiff but quickly loosened up and works great now. I also have a Henry pump that I’ve owned for a few years now. The Henry is beautifully made USA quality but honestly I prefer the Rossi for the target/plinking that I like to do. The Henry weighs significantly more and its slide action is a little stiffer. The full buckhorn sights on the wood version Rossi are robust metal and very nice. The Rossi trigger, trigger guard, butt plate, barrel band, and knob on the magazine tube are poly but the rest is all metal and wood.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Nice to hear! Henry makes some good lever action rifles, I've never tried their pump action. My Rossi has loosened up as well and is much more pleasant to shoot. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!

[@caseysmith544]

I had to adjust the sight in the back to my liking, but the rest was just fine. Shorts is all I see as the other to fit this gun, since the 22 Long not Long Rifle is not really made anymore. I needed the gun since I am left eye dominate so either this or a lever action was what I would have to get, the 22 rifles were all bolt made for right eye dominate in my area from 2020 to almost end of 2021 in December when I was able to get the wood "classic" looking model

[@dennisbrown1875]

I bought one of these. I've had no trouble with it . The action lever on mine doesn't have to be pressed between rounds. How ever I have been looking for a video to lighten the trigger. Mine is horrible I don't have a trigger gauge but I would bet it's between 25 and 30 pounds of pull maybe more. It shoots great and pumps great and it will shoot anything you put in it shots longs and long rifle. But that trigger is terrible. Any suggestions. Thanks

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Mine has gotten better with some use, it just needed a little "break-in". My trigger feels like just about every other .22 rifle out there, nothing special but not horrible. I haven't looked into the trigger setup to see what could be done but usually a little polishing of the mating surfaces will do wonders but, care must be taken not to make it dangerous.

Remmington Thunderbolt in the 500 round box tends to be a bit dirty in all 22 guns. Maybe some other 22 LR Remmington 22 ammo is better as I have seen with my dads gun using some 100 round box but I have some of the Remmington Thunderbolt knowing I will after 100--200 rounds lube & clean my gun.

I got one of the Remmington 500 Thunderbolt for just under $30 before tax in either late 2021 or early 2022. Yes they did double but before the panic buying, they were $18 to $20 in my area so not too different now. The Armscor was the big jump from right at about $2.00 to $3.00--$4.00 depending on where you buy them in town.

I picked my new Rossi Gallery gun up today, I cleaned all the factory lube off and out of it. Then lubed it up with Ballistoll, Then I spent 20 minutes just working the action, I do this with all my new guns, really helps to loosen and break in the action and helps to get familiar with the gun, After all that I shot 150 rounds, no malfunctions of any kind, the gun operated great with 4 different types of ammo brands, standard LR to high velocity. 36 grain HP to 40 Round nose, I'm all out of shorts but hopefully I can find some more sooner than later and try shooting them in it. At the end of the day I would recommend buying this gun this or the wooden version. It's not a Henry pump action or my Remington Model 12. But for the smaller sticker price I'd say it's worth it. It's fun none the less and accurate. it will be great for plinking or small game hunting, or a knock around truck gun, that's just my opinion Great video...

[@terrygwilson9628]

Thank you for the great video . I purchased the wooden furniture Gallery 01/11/2022. What a fun little rifle 😊. Problems? Yes. When I load 15 rds in the tube, it will misfire the 2nd or 3rd shot, every time. After that it fires as should. I never have to pull the action release. So, I decided to load just 12 into the tube. I’ve fired three 12 rd tubes without a hiccup. Then I tried 15 again, and it misfired on the 2nd shot, then all the rest fine . I called Rossi & talked with a technician. She said I could send it in, I said I don’t like that idea. Another technician got involved & said to exercise the spring. He said most likely the spring is too tight. Which I have been doing. I’ve also cleaned the dirty gun. And have been working the action. Hopefully all will work itself out soon. However, let me say this: I like this little gun so much, that if i am destined to live with a 12 rd load, I will still be happy. Also, knowing I am not a great shooter, 75 with bad eyes, I found this rifle very accurate from 30 yards out. While standing up, my worst grouping was 5.5” by 7”. At my age, with a new gun, I’ll take that. Richard, thanks again for your wonderful video . I like all of your videos.

If they would have had the wood furniture version in the store when I bought mine, I would have picked it up instead. Mine has loosened up a bit, the last couple times I shot it, I didn't have to use the action release.

My brother has the wood stock and corn cob pump version and it does not lock where you have to press the release button for every shot.

No failures no matter the ammo weakness in fps so it shoots whatever you feed it. The front sight and the rear sight are the same exact sights you have here ...

My Gallery 22 has "loosened up" a bit since making the video and no longer needs to have the action lock pressed to function properly. I guess it just needed a little "breaking in". Rossi makes some good stuff, I haven't had any real issues with them. Thanks for watching!

You didn't go wrong with the Henry, they are more expensive, but they're very well made. I believe the Rossi will also shoot shorts and longs, as well as the long rifles, its just not marked on the barrel. There are some legal/import reasons from what I've heard.

My local pawn shop has the new Rossi lever action, which I thought about purchasing. They said that they are getting a couple of the new rossi gallery guns at the end of the week. I'm thinking of purchasing the gallery gun simply because I dont own any pump 22lr's. But after watching this video and seeing how you have to push the slide release before loading a round kind of makes me unsure about purchasing one... Of course it's not advised, but I wonder if the slide release can be removed in order for it to work without using it? Also, since I enjoy working with wood, Im wanting to make a walnut stock and forend for the gallery gun. Im not sure how the forend comes off as of yet. Does it have screws holding it in place or does the magazine have to be dismantled in order to remove the forend? Thanks

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

At the end of the video, the last few rounds I used were Remington Thunderbolts and I didn't have any issues with them. The action seemed to loosen up a bit as well. I plan on doing another video soon and trying more thunderbolt ammo and possibly putting a cheap scope on it to see how the longer range accuracy is. Rossi offers the Gallery 22 with a wooden stock on it already, unless you just enjoy woodworking. Thanks for watching and make sure you subscribe so you'll know when I release a new video.

Our local shop had both the wood, and synthetic stock version. The wood stock version cycled every time without having to push the release lever. However, the synthetic stock I had to push in the release lever every time. I don’t think the stocks have anything to do with it, but maybe build quality control? Idk. I really want one, but don’t want to have to push in that release button every time to cycle a round.

@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I think I found the reason why it's only written 22LR. European legislation forbids more than 10 rounds in the tube (in C category which is easy to buy, you can big with more ammo but then it's category B) and the 10 limit would be based on 22 short if they write that it can takes them, so writing only 22LR allow to put more ammo in EU and it's a big selling point (all the Pumps are modified in EU so that ammo is limited to 10 - the same model in the US will often take more ammo)

Got one of these about a month ago, but my action was seized up. I pulled and pushed while holding the receiver release and it pumped but I heard a crack and a piece of the receiver (right by the feed ramp) cracked off... not the best for quality control I must say. I've been waiting 3 weeks for the repair so far. The good thing is that Rossi repair people seem to be very nice.

They make different levels of firearms, very affordable to sort of an upper mid level quality. I have no issues with them.
