would like to hear from anyone with the heavy (or standard) barrel rossis in either 223 or 243. How do they shoot? how is the trigger? how is accuracy?
thanks

My 223 bull barrel Rossi has a very good trigger and shoots less than MOA. I sold a Rossi 17 HMR because it had a very heavy trigger and wasn't very accurate. Relplaced it with a 17HMR Handy and it's a Dandy! :-D [/b]

I had one in .243 and it was a piece of junk. Wouldn't shoot straight and would open on shooting with certian loads. Sold it and bought a Handi Rifle, now life is good. Larry

I have the .243 std barrel and have had zero problems with it. I am no bench shooter but accuracy runs 1.5" at 100yds off bench with std rem 100gr.
