Rossi Rio Bravo.. Will It Cycle 22 Shorts?.....

[@2greeksandacamera]

We appreciate your excellent presentations. No worry on the cold weather slow loading - tapping the slider works lol

[@uralbob1]

Great vid! Thank you! I've always loved the .22 shorts. Even since childhood, I thought they were fun. They were 50 cents a box way back then!

[@TheHide]

Oh I know, Ill be honest I've never shot 22 short until I made the video. They are fun! Thanks for wathcing!

[@PetuniaIii-pd1ww]

We've shot hundreds of shorts the past couple months to conserve the long rifle...we find they go bang reliably and are surprisingly accurate...

[@TheHide]

@JohnHFreeman Shoot yes.. Cycle reliably not so much..

[@TheHide]

@JohnHFreeman Seen a couple over the years..

[@TheHide]

@JohnHFreeman The video highlights a lever gun, was not considering a bolt gun in the conversation.

[@strokedmule3838]

Interesting to know! Thank you. I’ve shot a lot of shorts in my lifetime as well as longs and I was just looking at this rifle.

[@TheHide]

Thanks for watching!

[@tonynewman777]

I do believe that's one extra round of shorts then what Henry takes.

[@Pauliej56]

I got 22 in my Henry

[@OdeeOz]

Picked this rifle up last weekend. Shoots like a charm straight out the box, with iron sights out to 100 yards for my ancient self.

[@TheHide]

They are a heck of a fun little rifle for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@dethtour]

I just bought one of these from academy a week ago and took it to the range to zero in a reflex sight I bought. I got alot of compliments on it and 3 guys ended up going to academy to get one too. The grouping was insane for being right out of the box and speed shooting. My buddy got a new 9mm carbine sbr and my little 22lr got more compliments. Fun to shoot and you can put it to work vs having a golden boy just sitting because of it being pretty.

[@TheHide]

They're a lot of fun. Super smooth for no more than they cost. Thanks for watching!

[@lafountainscustompaint]

I just shot it out here at the hide. I have to have one now. Great shooting rifle. A ball to shoot.

[@jpb1231000]

Get you a Speed D Loader for Tube Fed Rifles!!!! You can get them for 6 Rounds of 22 LR up to 22 rounds I Believe!!! Loads in SECONDS!!!

[@dustinjohnson1954]

Just ordered one of these for 260.00. My dad wanted a Henry golden boy but I haven't been able to find one that is reasonably priced. Hope he enjoys this and it cycles well as yours does.

[@michaelbodie5914]

Ya just got this one too couldn't get the wooden stock even when it was on sale but a lever aciton is a lever action so im good but I'll get a golden boy one day .

[@straynoodle5057]

You know, I’ve been searching the Internet about this gun but there are so few videos out there. I suspect that people would really appreciate any video you can make on this gun. Maybe even a range or accuracy test? Or even just a nice walk around video of the gun from all angles because, like I said, there’s next to nothing out there on this. Thanks!

[@TheHide]

Ill keep that in mind and see what I can do. Thanks for watching!

[@Brett235]

I keep shorts in mine for raccoons and opossum that get in my chicken coop. This is an awesome little squirrel gun also.

[@Nutty.357]

I got a wood version & love it! have put about 750 rds through it and have NOT tried the shorts, now i have to lol! I have only ran a bore snake through it a couple times and keep it wiped down clean and some light oil, been awesome! added a cheap scope and hitting cans at 100 yards pretty easy! have a good one!

[@TheHide]

It really is a heck of a little rifle, the shorts just add to the fun factor! Thanks for watching!

[@saintsfan7991]

Thanks for the great video! I have heard that the Rossi Gallery pump action is not designed for .22 short because the carrier isn't milled for it , or something to that effect. Has anyone else heard this? I have emailed Rossi, waiting on a reply. I imagine that the lever action and pump share many internals.

[@bobbychuckles8764]

Did you get a response from Rossi?

[@TRRS98]

Recently got mine and was only able to find 22 short and gun shops told me it does cycle 22 short and lr and today I shot 250 rounds with it no trouble shoring 22 short and 22 bird shot worked out really well 👍🏼👍🏼

[@DRAGONRIDER385]

The shot cycling is good to know.

[@tedhalko4266]

Out of curiosity what would you use 22 birdshot for?

[@TRRS98]

@@tedhalko4266 birds, snakes or just for fun to shoot upclose or plink at the range

[@williamcrane8236]

I've got a Winchester 1906 gallery gun it uses a similar design. No problems with hollow points as well as round nose. Get some Calibri loads next, uses just the primer. Quieter then a pellet gun.

[@tedh7543]

It's great to know the Rio Bravo cycles 22 short and awesome the tube will hold 22 rounds. Too bad 22 short is now $0.15 cents and up per round these days.

[@TheHide]

I agree. It just sucks what everything gun wise costs now. Its ridiculous.. Thanks for watching!

[@rodneykent8023]

They are about $0.20 a round here in southern Ohio.

[@tedh7543]

@@rodneykent8023 ouch! Before all this madness Wolf Steel 223 ammo was around $0.20 a round.

[@PetuniaIii-pd1ww]

That is $15.00 for a 100 rds...compare that to a 100 rds of anything else...our past purchases of bulk .22lr allow us frequent range visits...those 4.5 - 6.5 cent rds way more happy shooting than feeling angry blowing up 40+ cents a round 9mm...

[@shanegibb997]

That's a neat little rifle too ! I'm in the market for a little knock around .22lr , great video.

Yea this rifle is just a ton of fun to shoot. Thanks for watching!

nice... NOW JUST TO MAKE SURE CAN YOU TRY THE QUIET ONE !!! WE NEVER KNOW...

[@scottgraham1153]

I just got the Rossi .22 Gallery gun, it also cycles shorts. Fun little gun.

[@dj3114]

Do you have to pull the trigger guard back each shot, or just the pump (forearm)?

[@scottgraham1153]

@@dj3114 Just pump the forearm, like any other gallery gun. Did you watch small caliber arms review?.

[@dj3114]

@@scottgraham1153 I watched a video on them and the man said he had to pull the trigger guard to pump it each time and commented that he did't like it. Someone else pointed out that at the end of that video, he figured it out, but for awhile, he tried to "pump" it as normal and it seemed "locked". I didn't watch it to it's conclusion as I'd see enough. Doesn't matter though, I like the lever and have a Rossi 62 pump and a Remington Model 12. Glad to know it works as normal.

How is the accuracy out 50yds and 100yds. Looks like a fun plinking gun and at a good price

[@TheHide]

Check out the original review of the rifle as it has some accuracy testing with 22lr ammo. Im not sure on accuracy of the shorts, but I know I have no trouble hitting 6" steel plates at 50yrds with the shorts. Thanks for watching!

[@littleteethkeith]

I love 22.

[@Shootsmith]

No threaded barrel? Also I wish someone made a lever or a pump .22LR/L/S that had some kind of loading gate (not just magazine tube + plunger).

[@TheHide]

My only knock on the rifle is no threaded barrel. But with it being an import Im sure that's why. Thanks for watching!

[@dj3114]

Seems that if you use shorts, it's plenty quiet. While I never understood the need for suppressors, I know that some want them.

[@regsparkes6507]

@@TheHide Do you have any thoughts on the R92 in 357 caliber. This is one that I've been thinking about buying, it's just that here in Canada, their prices are right up there with some Henry's and even Winchester! Update Oct. 15/21: I found and bought one, Rossi calls the model I bought the 'Triple Black'. It's a dream shooter. Right on the bean for accuracy. Smooth as the proverbial silk. HOWEVER my rifle stumbles sometime when trying to load up 38 Special cartridges. ( So, I just single load each one. ) besides more fun ( and yes, more money too ) to shoot with the .357's. You gotta buy one when you find oe. You won't regret this.

[@TheHide]

Ive tried for a while to get my hands on one of these. No one around me can get one or has one. Hopefully Ill be able to try one out so I can get some thoughts on it as well.

[@travistoor6360]

Looks like a fun rabbit or squirrel gun

[@TheHide]

It would defiantly take care of that job for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@joeytyo]

Is their an explanation to why all .22 lever action rifles are loaded strangley? I orefer the side gate but does not seem to exist on .22 and im curious the reason? I love loading lever actions through side gate and imo the way all these load from the barrel makes it seems flimsy and more like a BB gun kind of loses that awesomeness that i love so much. Is the bullet too small?

[@mkshffr4936]

The loading gate puts a fair amount of torque on the bullet. My guess is that the tiny heal base bullet might not hold up to it.

[@joeytyo]

@@mkshffr4936 makes sense thank you. I have learned alot since i made this comment and lever action rifles has become one of my special interest🤠

[@nwchamp321]

Great review! How does this rate to a henry as far as reliability? Looking to pick one up. Oh yeah... Happy New Year!

[@TheHide]

Ill be honest I've never shot a Henry so I cant speak to how it would stack up. What I can say is that I have about a 1k rds of various ammo through this rifle and have only ad a failure to fire and I think that was due to a bad cartridge. So for the dollar spent I'm not sure what the Henry will give you that this wont other than maybe collector value. If your just wanting a cheap plinker this Rossi fits the bill nicely! Thanks for watching and Happy New Year to you as well!

[@Threewolfs-]

How do you borrow ammo, do you return it when you’re finished ? 😜🤪😛🤡. Nice lill rifle, thinking of adding it to the collection, have the Henry up and lever 22’s love them, like the “Black” style. 👍🏼❤️🇺🇸🤠

You haven't bought a Ruger or S&W lately...an Ithaca or Colt...? every manufacturer, every one of them, has let lemons sneak out the loading dock...if the gun has moving parts (pretty much all of them) it is subject to failure, that is the simple nature of the beast...I'll grant that 79 cent parts should last longer than 49 cent parts, but even then that cannot be gaurenteed...
