Rossi small frame rifles
« on: May 08, 2010, 05:52:53 AM »
I understand that Rossi used to make 357 and 44 mags on a small (410 shotgun) frame.  These guns used to weigh in at about 4.5 lbs.  Does anybody know if any center fire calibers are made on said small frame today?

Also, I just looked at a 410 "Tuffy".  Can a normal stock that attaches with a through bolt fit this frame?

Thanks for any info.

It isn't a Rossi, but I believe that Thompson Center still makes Contender Carbines that fit your description.

Maybe the Rossi youth would suit your needs? I bought one for my son and I carry it some , in 7mm-08 .Its short ,light ,loud and kicks pretty good.
Still dreaming of that Boone and Crocket Pistol Kill!!!
