Rossi 454 heads up

[Dogg]

There are currently several stainless 20" barrel rossi 454s on Gun Broker if anyone is interested. I bought one and have been looking for a long time. Get it while you can.

I wanted one but not in stainless and they don't make the case hardened/blued version like my Rossi in 45 colt. Now if they ever make them in the finish I want I will sure buy one.

they ain't made any 454's/480's in about 5-6 years.

Dogg,
Congrats on a great find. I have a 16.5" and let me tell ya it is a sweet little shooter. Have fun with it!

How come that is?

They stopped

that's about when taurus took over rossi.
they finished off the parts they had and called it good.

the puma's have changed since taurus took over.
i have a pretty good pile of the rossi guns [imported/built by various company's.
and the only one i would consider even looking at now is the 30-30 [and maybe/possibly the 45-70]
i would take a micrometer with me to look at one before i bought it though.
i don't trust the new bbl's they make to be correctly sized.
