I'm trying to decide between the huntsman and a rossi. I've tried the rossi but not the huntsman. My question is this how many screws hold the scope block on a huntsman? I'd really like to buy in USA but the rossi is a nice gun. I could use some opinions. Thanks

I have owned a rossi and a huntsman. for my money the huntsman beats the rossi hands down.  The screw for the forearm for the rossi is very weak. Tighten it  a1/4 turn too much and it strips. I had a 243/50 cal combo from rossi. One of the forearm screws was missing when I got it. It took me 3 months and several phone calls to get a screw and I had to threaten them with the better business bureau. Their excuse was shippng was way behind. When I asked her how much time it took to put a screw in an envelope and mail it to me. The answer was about 6 weeks. I gave the gun to my brother in law. Just my opinion and the hassles I had

There's an old saying to soon old and to late smart thats me. I think the huntsman is it. The rossi ramrod appears to be fairly strong would it work on a huntsman? The rossi BP wrench is a t-handle could a t-handle be incorporated into the huntsman BP wrench?
