My local gun store had one of them on the shelf this afternoon. Pretty little gun stainless with gray wood furniture.

They are neat looking guns. How do they compare to a Henry?

I will have to wait until I have shot one. I have several Henry rifles and a couple of JM Marlins. Just having my hands and eyes on it the fit and finish are great. The action is smooth and the peep rear sight makes picking up the front sight really easy. It is heavy as like it was built for work.

10mm is an interesting offering but , Ouch on that MSRP !
I do like the redesigned lever though.

I wish they would offer more guide type. Strait stocks in solid hardwoods.

.357 Magnum is so much more versatile for a levergun.

Ehh already have 2 of those, 2 in 41 magnum, 1 in 44 Magnum, 1 in 35 Remington and 1 in 17 HMR. So versatility isn’t really a consideration for me.

Getting one in 10mm is just for the “cool factor”

now if they come out with one in 38 super or say any of the following calibers 45 ACP, 458 SOCOM, and 500 S&W Magnum the possibilities could be endless.

.357 Magnum .30-30 is so much more versatile for a levergun.

I'll see your 30-30 and raise you a 45-70

Oh heck yes! except for the cost and the increased shoulder soreness. I love cowboy calibers.

I saw a new Rossi lever through the glass at a Walmart. Black on Black, carbine, tactical looking. I wanted to get my paws on one but didn't want to go to the trouble of finding the employee with keys.

The best thing you can do with a Rossi is leave it at the gun store.

About 20 years ago I bought my son a Rossi youth 410 single for his tenth birthday . It was a very solid piece with nice blue and hardwood. Kids grow quickly so we ended up trading it towards his first adult deer rifle.

I’ve got an older Rossi Puma in .44 mag. that is actually quite nice to shoot. I followed a couple of YouTube tutorials by Steve’s Gunz on how and where to slick up the internals and viola , it worked and actually functions like a lever gun should.
