Rossi Rifle Review

[@Johnat709]

I have had Winchester Models 62A, 1890, 1906, and 61 over the years and always marveled at the way they worked, how tight the action was, and how well they shot. Before I could afford the Winchesters I just mentioned, I bought a Rossi ( 62A style ) and shot it thousands of times, and that wold include a butt load of rabbits and squirrels. It never failed me. Take it out of the safe every once in a while, and still enjoy the feel. Thanks....infact I just went to the safe and enjoyed it again.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Hi John - Such a fine rifle - glad you have one. Mine was sleeping in the safe for too long. Hope you get out to shoot it. All the work and other things we all do - and then shooting one of these rifles happens and one wonders "What was I thinking."

[@allenhughes12]

My dad picked one up on a trade 40 some years ago and growing up I sent many a squirrel and groundhog to their final reward with it. I wish be would have kept it but he was an old horse trader so easy come easy go. Fine little rifles.

[@asimseth1927]

Cant think of another utube channel where one can improves one knowledge base so conveniently. In this world of auto loaders extremely glad to know someone still believes in the firearms of the 20th century

[@subpilot1000]

You might enjoy my 3rd model 1890 .22LR's quick release-lever mounted Ziess scope sight and factory deluxe stock. It's a real beauty and I had the joy and privilege of growing up shooting it quite a bit. The original bluing, sharp bore, scope and stock make it a very rare collectible. The action never jammed on this gun in all of my shooting. Sadly, I'm in a situation now when I may need to sell it!

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Hope you can keep it - a gem!

[@uncleremus5046]

These were pretty cheap years ago but still very well built. Their value has drastically went up the last few years. I have one also.They have a great tight strong action & are nice replicas of the Winchester’s.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

I'm not sure there is a more fun .22 to shoot.

[@bobgarr6246]

This is the Rossi 22lr m62 rifle there is also a m62sac carbine. Rossi recently ruined the gun by changing the look and using plastic on the furniture. When the gun was out of production by the original manufacturer, Winchester, it was sold off to Rossi in Brazil. This is why these guns are such great shooters. Rossi aquired all the jigs, tooling, and production machinery plus the technical specs to produce this great gun. I would assume time has taken it's toll on this rifles production life which is why Rossi has changed the way it's made and looks. Sadly

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Fantastic post - no wonder I love these rifles (and the short carbine as well) - everything about them is quality....until the "improvements" of modern manufacturing. Thanks for taking the time.

[@paulsimmons5726]

LOL, I remember shooting a real Winchester 1890 at our little county Fair when I was a teenager. That was in the late 70's. Real guns with real bullets and a guy behind the counter who's job was to reload after each competition. The target was a nickel-sized dot that you tried to hit with your five 22 shorts, the distance to the target was about 6'. Aim small, miss small really meant something at the fair in those days. I can't imagine anyone allowing that event to take place these days. Ahh, those days were the golden age...

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Hi Paul - That would have been great fun and practice for kids! By my time the galleries had air fed guns with tube fed ball bearings or some such thing. The projectiles flew all over and as I recall I was supposed to make a red star on the paper target disappear. I thought I did but the fellow running the gallery showed me a teeny red edge that remained on the ragged edge of the hole - so no stuffed pink rat for me. Oh well...

[@paulsimmons5726]

@@UnitedStatesOfGuns Those red stars are tricky little devils! I've shot at those also, same result... No pink rat here either!

[@Me2Lancer]

Thanks again for the memories. Pump action .22s are among the earliest rimfire rifles I can recall. Those are fond memories.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Hi Rich - this one is so fun - it's addictive. The action is so slick to operate. Awesome! As people like to say.

[@Me2Lancer]

@@UnitedStatesOfGuns Indeed. I'm impressed with how robust that action is but hey, it's a John Moses Browning design.

[@RobertBrown-pb2uj]

I bought a Rossi M59 22 mag at a LGS a few years back ( same gun as M62 except the chamber ) Really like the gun. Then I was in same store a few weeks ago and they had another but this one had a 60s Weaver K4 scope on it. Someone did a decent job on drill & tap on the barrel so I bought it. The rear sight is still there but they flipped it around in the dovetail so it faces the other way to make room for the scope rings. I wanted to post a photograph but I don't see where it will allow me to do that here. Anyway this gun IMO looks pretty sharp.

[@stefanfful]

Been out shooting mine with a buddy past couple days. Just a great rifle. Hits all day at 50 yards probly farther if my eyes were younger.

[@earlyamericanarms7303]

It’s great to see someone with actual fire arms history and design knowledge do a review. I really enjoyed it. The Rossi is a fine copy of an excellent John Browning design.

[@dobypilgrim6160]

I have a Model 1906 that was made in 1911. It came out of a ranch here in New Mexico. Apparently it spent about 80 years in a barn. There are stick repairs made with old roofing nails and screws in the wrist. The finish is basically brown rust. The bore is indeed a proverbial sewer pipe. I rescued it at my local dealer who was planning to sent it to Numrich to be scrapped for parts. Guess what? It shoots fine. In fact it is one of my favorite .22s. I paid ten bucks for it in 2011. I wouldn't sell it for $500.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Awesome! I love those types of guns. Character and history - and I find the same : barrels and bores may LOOK bad - but they often shoot well. And anyway, at .22 distances slingshots are accurate. Most rats - of all types - are a few feet away. Great buy and I wouldn't sell either.

[@hawkeyeinthehouse2995]

I recently purchased an older (no safety ) Rossi 62A in very good condition w/box. I like that it is a very close copy of the Winchester 62A except it has 22lr stamped on the barrel, doesn't bother me that it doesn't function with shorts or longs. I noticed the Stevens Favorite 1915 with the octagon barrel and the Martini, I have a 1915 Favorite but would like a Martini in 22lr. I LOVE older neat 22lr weapons from ALL TIME PERIODS. 😆😁😀😄

[@billiewright7532]

I have one with the nickel finish. I bought it new back in the 80's. I still have the box and paper work. Its the best .22 there is in my opinion.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

So hard to find - especially in nickel - good you bought one when you could and I can't argue with your choice of "best." Thanks Billie.

[@mikek8089]

Years ago I purchased the Rossi model 59 (.22 mag) and always wanted a model 62 as well. After a lot of years passed, I finally found a nice 62 and snapped it up. It's kinda nice having a matching set of these fine little shooters! Now I'd like to find another 62, but the "trapper" model with the 16 inch barrel. That would complete my set. John Browning was the master at his craft!👍

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Hi Mike - great pair! I'm looking for the trapper myself. I had one and of course...sold it. Yet another mistake for my mistake collection.

[@powerplay4real174]

A true classic , and collectiors piece you got there. 👑⚔️👑

[@jonnylivesinbr]

Rossi actually imported all the machinery from Winchester to Brazil, after the american company ceased production of this rifle in the US. It got quite the afterlife over here in Brazil and was really popular.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Thank you - I had no idea the tooling came from the States. Anyway the Brazil factory did an excellent job. I had this rifle for ages and didn't shoot it. Some viewers asked for a video on it so I dug it out - and what a great rifle it is. I was going to sell - that won't happen any time soon. I should study Brazil more - over 200 million people and every kind of industry and success all over - but a lot of people have no idea. I asked an associate what he knows about Brazil and he said it is a small country near Venezuela or something; that grows nuts and has a big beach. And jungle. And there is a movie about Brazil. That was his Brazil. : )

[@jonnylivesinbr]

@@UnitedStatesOfGuns hahaha can't believe he tought so little of Brazil! We have a lot of interesting gun related stories about gun companies and copies of war guns which were made here, like the Madsen submachine gun which was produced under license over here after a brazilian officer hid some danish gun projects from the nazis in Brazil, when the war ended the danish gave a submachine project as a thankful gift and the brazilian government built a whole plant to produce this Madsen M1946 copy called M953 which they also converted to .45 acp. But the biggest push came from Beretta when they started making their 950s and 92s over here and later sold the whole plant to Taurus. There are a lot of interesting stories like this, sadly our government makes it hard for us brazilians to collect our own historic firearms, almost like the british gun owners who can't even posses their own surpluses Webley revolvers.

[@martyjewell5683]

Man, whatta swell video. Learned a thing or two to boot. Always been fascinated by the Martini/Peabody action, nice samples you have. The Rossi pump is a classic as well as a clone. I got my Rossi 62 SAC in 1982. Mine is the carbine version with 16.5" barrel. I love the crisp 2 lb trigger pull, slick action and that it has no disconnector! Mine will digest shorts and LR interchangeably, just gobbles up rounds and spits out empties. It holds fifteen shorts or eleven LR rounds. Mine is very accurate and though not really scope-able, can be fitted with a tang peep sight for improved accuracy. It has an eleven inch sight radius and the old half-cock safety. NOT really a beginners gun as once cocked is tricky lowering the hammer on a loaded chamber. Gotta say that I'd never sell my Rossi carbine. Paid $120 for it at Karnival Sports in Brooklyn and took it home on the subway to my Bay Ridge digs. Still my favorite rimfire in my brace of .22 long guns, fuhgeddaboudit.

[@deniscleaver7544]

The ROSSI is a great rendition of the WINCHESTER Model 62, 62A. Not as well finished, but reliable and a ton of fun to shoot.

I wish the 1887 lever shotgun was more popular pre Terminator 2 for a larger market on lever shotgun designs.

[@dj3114]

With the possible except of the 1887 lever 12 gauge, I agree completely. I have a few that he designed and all are ultra reliable and durable. I think the Browning 22 SA is the most elegant gun he ever invented.

[@josephknaak9034]

In his defense, Winchester requested a lever action shotgun because levers were kind of their thing. Story is that Browning thought a pump was a better option, but they were writing the checks. Five years later they started making the 1893, which directly led to 1897 and the model 12 and the rest is history.

So true - I remember one .22 collector showing me the WInchester original - from a gallery - he said that particular rifle had fired probably 50 or 60 thousand rounds or more.

Hi Craig - I know what you mean - some of the earlier models used Brazilian hardwoods with more grain. Brazil has several excellent woods suitable for gun stocks; maybe they swith things around from time to time depending on supply.

I have a Winchester 62 as well as a Rossi 62 and a couple Winchester 1890s. I have to agree that most of them shoot a tad high. I have adjusted by aiming a tad below the target, which is fine for most targets but makes it difficult for smaller targets like gif balls or spent shotgun shells.

I just got the Henry 22 Mag Octogonal barrel version of this. Even before watching this video's content, I know Henry is higher quality than Rossi.

That's a very fine rifle; slick and accurate. Great buy!
