Rossi Wizard
« on: December 31, 2009, 06:21:51 AM »
Anyone seen one of these to compare it to the H&R's?  Wonder if H&R will go the same way that the Wizard seems to be going with off the shelf barrels sold locally for different cal's that do not require fitting.  I find no stock on any of them, but the listings are there for both the rifle and the barrels.  Someone at H&R would probably have the inside track on these if they do really exist.  Here is a place selling a shotgun barrel, I have found others listing many other types, just none in stock.  Could be Tim could ask about the competition from H&R.  Larry

I looked at the ad, but I wouldn't do it.  For example a .22 barrel was 168.40.....I can buy a whole sportster for that, and have a lot better rifle.

I am wondering if these are going after the Contender type of rifles?
Here is another listing of barrels and rifles.  Larry

Just like the Hand-Mags have been found listed online but were never produced, the Rossi accessory barrels are probably a left over from when they were working on their accessory barrel program, they aren't listed on the Rossi website.

I had that thought also, but the prices are high for a standard Rossi and the name is specifically called a Wizard.  I emailed the shop and their line is busy, I will keep trying.  Larry

You found a real picture, that is a new gun, different frame and stock, does look like they are looking at the Thompson crowd with that one.  Larry

If Rossi can hold the cost down to $150-$170 for a completely interchangable barrel, they are going to put some hurt on H&R. If one sends in his receiver and has a new barrel fitted to it you are getting close to the low end of that and you do not have an interchangable barrel. Of course that is assuming the original gun is not outragous.  JamesIII

Too much $...over $300.
Ugly stocks (IMHO)
Fiber optic sights - ugh.
Taurus 'Security System'.
Unimaginative caliber choices.


I think they should go back to the drawing board.
NEF has got them beat before they've even started.
The designers should make sure their resumes are updated.
