Default Rossi 511 .22lr

Here is my Rossi 511 .22lr. I kinda stumbled upon this on fluke stop at a local stop while I was waiting to pick up my son.

I ended up taking it home for $200 out the door. I’ve been told this is a clone to the S&W Model 63.

I have had no issues and it’s a pretty decent shooter for what it is.

Anyone else have one?

Interarms era Rossi revolvers are some of the most overlooked underappreciated guns out there.

.22s are a lot of fun, at $200 I would have taken it home. Have fun.

I bought a Model 84 Rossi more than twenty years ago, but it looked exactly like the one in the photo in this thread. Kept it about ten years and sold it, only because I prefer Colt and S&W revolvers, not because the gun was lacking in any way. From a 25 yard benchrest, the Rossi was surprisingly accurate. The level of accuracy was probably the same as an S&W Model 63 that I've had quite a while.

I ordered a number of the Rossi revolvers right after Interarms stopped importing them and distributors were blowing them out. Some were a bit rough on the inside, but they all worked pretty much as they should.

I had one of those a number of years ago, and it was a decent little piece. Not as slick as a S&W, to be sure, but it went bang every time I pulled the trigger and had decent accuracy with the right ammo.

I have an Interarms era mod 90’s Rossi M68 that is the equal to any Smith model 36 I’ve ever seen.
