 :D :D :D well what can i say, back from the range - can't get this stupid grin off my face, these two rifles are tack drivers , did real good on buying these two rifles , didn't matter what i shot at, it was a hit or real close , these were the cheapest rifle i ever bought price wise, and they shot like more expensive rifles  right  out the box, i like these ROSSI and will look for more in the future ---  ;D ;D ;good luck

Happy Monday,

I just picked up a 357 Puma yesterday, the same dealer had a 24" 45LC Puma with a case colored reciever for $400.00 (NIB). Not sure what the prices are around the map, but he was the lowest at the gun show here in Virginia.

If your interested, I could get you the contact info.

Taking the .357 out today to make sure it makes noise - I'll let you know how it does.

L8r,
Bob S.

Mine is the 20" round barrel - not the 24", but it shoots great! Here are a couple of pics of a 25yd - 9 shot group. That's as good as my almost 50 year old eyes can do with open sights...





This is with factory 357 mag. ammo, the .38 handloads I had available that shoot fine in my pistol, are a not as good in this rifle. (but I'm working on that!)

So far, I'm happy with the Rossi - the only thing I want to change is the magazine follower to a steel one.

Take care,
Bob S.
