    Ross 22 cal pump with nickeled receiver any value ?

    Purchased a Rossi 22 cal pump that has a nickeled receiver for my Mother back in the late 1970's she wanted a gun in the house. She may have fired a have a box of shells thru it when I took her to the range. It has been setting in the closet since that day. So it looks like new. any idea as to its worth? Mothers gone now and I am not a big fan of pump action rifles.

    There's one over on GB right now for $269 and no reserve. Goes off auction tomorrow and there's no bids on it so far. The $180 was probably in jest (else lowball) but $200 ~ 225 seems to be in the right place.

    Took a look at it, that one one is very rough compared to this one.

    I'm not sure if there are more than one model?
    But anyway, about 4 years ago, I bought one at a auction.
    At this Auction, there were two Rossi Pump 22lr rifles, NIB, consecutive serial numbers, the boxes looked like they were from the 1970s, so I assume they were. They sold as a pair for $800.

    Right after that sale they pulled out a third rifle, it had been fired, but the wood and metal were 100%, and the wood had a better grain figure than the two that were NIB, this used one also had the original box and papers, the rear site had been installed or maybe re-installed backwards? anyway, I bid it up to $325 and won it.
    When I had my gun auction 2.5 years ago, it sold for $275.

    Here it would go for about $250 over the counter maybe as high as 280 if someone really wanted it.

    Those were nice little rifles for the money, in fact I believe it was the first rifle I ever bought new after turning 18, back in 1980. Paid $80 for it and on the way home I used it to shoot a huge badger that i sold for $40. It was the 16 in. carbine model, handiest trapline gun you could ever want.

    Thing is, it's a copy of the Winchester 1890/1906/62, and pricing will always suffer from the "For $ XX more, I can have the real thing" phenomenon.

    For all the Rossis can likely bring, they're worth more kept than sold. The Winchesters could rightly make a claim to be All-Time King of the Plinkers. It's got a brilliant feed system that does not care about the length of the round, and since they have no disconnector, you can hold the trigger back and pump them as a "manual full auto". The finish is not what the Winchesters had, but it's still an all-steel and wood .22 in this age of plastic and roll pins, and it's a takedown rifle, if you need to make it small.

    It's a fantastic design, that transcends all makers, materials and conditions. Whoever made them and whatever condition they are in, if the parts are all there, the little gun just loads and loads and shoots and shoots.

    I have an 06 beater with a scabby bore that is fed a strict diet of range pickups. I call it my "catharsis gun," and use it for dump blasting. If it doesn't fire those dinged-up, rim-indented, crud-encrusted shells, then they will not fire, for sure. Mostly, though, they feed in and go off just as well as new stuff.

    Second the motion to keep it. Money is getting more worthless all the time.

    Don't shoot me anyone- I prefer the Remington model 12 for a pump .22. But the Winchester is cool as is the Rossi.
