    Question Rossi Lever Gun Rimfire?

    Is it just me or do they look cheaply made?
    Wouldn't mind having one, but the front sight looks flimsy and there's what appears to be two
    drywall screws holding the receiver together.
    Plus, the foregrip is choppy on the nose.
    I might just say the heck with it and buy one anyways.

    I have to agree. They look more like a BB or POP gun than an actual firearm.
    I will add this. I have never seen one at a metallic silhouette match.

    Mine is probably 20 years old. At the time you could call Henry and get a metal front site replacement sent for free.
    It has shot thousands of rounds with no trouble at all, and is very accurate and a pleasure to carry.

    Edit: wow, for some reason I was thinking you were asking about Henry, not Rossi. Sorry.

    The Rossi is a loose copy of the Henry. It seems to work well enough but I don't think it is a good value. Pay just a bit more and get the original.
