Rossi question.

[starmac]

What do used rossi m92's typically sell for? This one happens to be stainless and 44 mag.

[RPRNY]

I just bought a blued 16" 45 Colt for $429. Stainless seems to add $50 and 44 Mag seem a little more available than 45 Colt.

Used? What your willing to pay for it. $300 - $375 seems a reasonable range.

[starmac]

Ok, That is in line with what I was thinking. A guy is asking 350 obo for one, I was thinking of offering him 300, but am not real interested in it, and so far have not done it.

[GoodOlBoy]

Honestly if it is one of the "new" rossi's with the safety on the top of the bolt yeah I would stick around my $300 mark maybe a wee bit more since you are not super interested in it. If it is one of the "old" rossi's that doesn't have the safety on top of the bolt I would put a little more out and hang onto it just in case you ever wanted to resell it down the road. Be aware some of the newer ones have a mod that removes the safety and makes it LOOK like a screw on top of the bolt. The old ones are just a nice clean bolt on top.

If they are in the neighborhood of 429 new, I am not very interested in it at 300. I would not mind picking up a 357 for the wife, but not interested in another 44.

[Bullshop Junior]

I'd be willing for go $375 on something of that nature.

[historicfirearms]

I just looked at a brand new Rossi 92 stainless carbine in 44 mag. They had a $560 price tag on it. That was in central Michigan at a large sporting goods store. They typically have prices competitive with everyone else.

[Edster]

Blued 44mags are going to be just shy of the $500.00 mark. A SS model is going to creep up to the $550.00 mark. This is for new. Prices will vary a little based on barrel length and round or octagon barrel.

[searcher4851]

$350.00 in a small local gun shop would not be unreasonable, in good condition. A private sale should be able to be acquired for little less. The 44 magnums seem to be more common in the marketplace, and therefore seem to draw a little less interest. At least that's been my experience in my area. The .357's seem to command a little higher price due to lack of availability.

[Lonegun1894]

I paid $300 for a used 20" SS .45 Colt 2-3 years ago, and $450 for a new 20" SS .357 about 6 months before that. I haven't seen a used one for at least a year now, and new SS ones seem to go for just over $500 here.

[Geezer in NH]

When I was a dealer I would pay 150-190 for any Rossi more no money to make especially with any problem with them.

[mac266]

Hey pard, I have to play devil's advocate. I'm not a fan of those Rossi's in terms of quality. One of my friends bought one and the magazine tube blew off *using factory ammo*. If you get one, use .44 Special or magnum "cowboy action" loads only.

On the other hand, just buy a Marlin

[starmac]

But I already have a winchester, now I have to buy a marlin?

[RPRNY]

But I already have a winchester, now I have to buy a marlin?

You've got to own a Marlin. Very important. Then you can have viable, if inconclusive, opinions in the Marlin vs Winchester debates while exercising absolute moral superiority in any Rossi debate.

[starmac]

Well I have a marlin too, but it is 45 colt, can I count that, or should I really just get off the bucks and get another marlin? lol

I wasn't really looking for, or wanting a 44 mag when I ran across the win. I seriously debated giving it away for a christmas presant, but I just picked up a beautiful accurate mold for it, that I have to use. lol
If I happenned to run across an octagon barrelled marlin, well that would be a different story. lol

[RJH]

I just got a blued 20" for $375 out the door new. I think I nearly stole it, though.

[starmac]

375 is what I paid for my winchester, with a williams peep, used of course. At least that is how I figured it as he also had a 30/30 and dropped 50 bucks of the price for a package deal. I gave the 30/30 away after swapping the sights, so I guess I really have 650 in the 44. lol

[TXGunNut]

I don't have (or want) a 43 caliber mould but if it was a 45 or a 357 I'd be interested in a blue one in the $300-350 range. I don't much care for stainless rifles but I could live with it in a Rossi.

[starmac]

Well I have a nice mold for the 44, but also have a rifle. I would have been more interested in it, had it been a 357, which I don't have, but would like one for the wife.

[jmort]

New Rossi 92s go for $550 here in So Cal.
