If you can get it for a good price, go for it!

I've got a couple of them, as well as the real Winchesters...both are indestructible and shoot just great. One note- the late ones are set up to shoot .22LR only and have no provision to feed shorts and longs- sometimes the ones that were marked to feed shorts and longs didn't feed them quite right (both the Winchester and the Rossi versions). Stick with .22LR's if you can. Just keep the inside of the action clean and lubed and it will last indefinitely.

I've had several Rossi and Taurus pump .22's throughout the years, great rifles. Bought one for my then 12 year old nephew around 1992, we shot thousands of rounds through that rifle together, he still has it today and shoots it weekly at an indoor range near his home.

I bought my son one back in 1991 when he was five years old, paid $119.00 + tax on sale. His is the carbine version, and does chamber Short, Long, or Long Rifle ammo. The Rossi is a blast, and can be slam fired like a Ithaca #37 or Winchester #12. He has to handle it everytime the safe is opened.

By my math he's about 25 years old.Ain't it his?
Why does he have to handle it everytime the safe is opened?

I love my '62A Winchester.I'd like to have a Rossi and a few more variations.Too much fun and I can hit anything I see.Follow up shots are very quick with a pump.Totally one of the most natural guns I've ever owned.

If it works good and the price is right,BUY IT.

You wont be sorry.

I'd sell it and buy a shift key and a space bar for your computer.

BTW if you want to "slam fire" don't loose count of your shots.I don't think dry fire is such a good idea on these.JMHO

A nice Rossi is for sale at our local gun shop, $325.

I have a few of them. They are so exact to the Winny that I have too and well made. I think you'll be very happy with it.

After decades of wanting one, I picked up this Interarms/Rossi .22 two weeks ago for $200. I shot it on the way home from the gunshop and it's a kick to shoot! Fast. A positive CLUNK-DA-CLUNK action and I couldn't miss anything off hand at 35 yards. It's the funnest gun I've shot in I don't know how long. You must get it!

thanks guys.i am going to get it for my daughter.
sorry for my poor keyboard skills.
i was in a armed robbery at work 14 years ago.one guy grabbed me and beat the back of neck 16 times,with a ruger pistol.all of this is on video. 4 of my 7 neck vertebra were in 12 pieces.i have had 5 cervicle neck fusions,through the years,as the vertabra and fusion material wear out ,after wearing against all the metal in my neck.i have 4 titanium rods,2 plates,16 screws,.and not much sensation in my left arm or fingers.so typing,looking down, is one of the hardest things for me to do.but i should proofread better in the future and i will.
i am going to get that rossi,it sure feels good,and tight,and i appreciate your kind advice

[DeathGrip]

twomoons,When you have some time go on utube and search winchester '62 and cruise around.Also check Gallery guns.
Some good stuff when you find it.

Have a good one too,

If it shoots shorts,longs and long rifles grab it. They are nice guns if the price is right.

The one in my family cache was always stiff and jammed up. Maybe a better cleaning and some use to loosen it up will work. Just that after shooting my Win 9422 for so many years, nothing else seems smooth and solid.

 

[Viss]

Grab it up, they are a blast to shoot.

I have a Taurus rifle in .22 lr and a carbine in .22 mag, both are fun to shoot.
