Rossi Blackpowder Rifle - The Firearms Forum

gunslinger586 · 09-30-2003, 06:24 AM

I'm new to this forum so if this has been addressed please be patient with me. Was wandering thru a gunshop and spotted a very compact wood stocked Rossi ML. Don't recall the model# but was wondering if anyone had any experience with Rossi's bp line. Next to it was a similar model but made by H+R. Both were in line ign. and I think set up for 209 primers. Looked like a good hunting rig and were reasonably priced. Any input? I think I'll jump to Rossi's website (if they have one) and see what's on it. Thanks.

Zig is that pic of a Rossi or a H&R? Looks like a NEF to me.

What made me ask was 1. I had never seen a Rossi BP and didnt even know that they made them and 2. was the ramrod, I was looking at a NEF last week and it/they have the same rod.
