Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) My LGS has one and I checked it out today. Wow what a slick action. It’s got the cerakote finish. They’ve got a great price on it, far less than retail which is 518.99 I just may have to get this! They have other Rio Bravo models also. https://rossiusa.com/firearms/rifles/lever-action/ Scroll all the way down the page for .22’s Edited January 12 by Rye Miles #13621 3 Quote

Wild Willi Posted January 17 Posted January 17 I got one when they first came out. I have never shot it. It levers strange. I sent it back to Rossi. They kept it 3-4 weeks sent it back levered the same way I called them and they said that’s the way it is supposed to work. Not anything near my 9422 Quote

watab kid Posted January 18 Posted January 18 my take on these is same as the other brands a buckaroo-ette might start with , if it works reliably go for it , they move out of that class quickly and are shooting the adult versions if interested in staying in this 1 Quote

I also shoot .22’s ar an indoor cowboy shoot during the winter months. 1 Quote
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted January 18 Posted January 18 grandson has a Henery H001 and a Rio Brovo , seems to shoot the Rio Brovo more often 1 Quote
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted January 18 Posted January 18 (edited) At least it is an aluminum receiver, not the zinc alloy with a steel wrapper like the Henry 22s. Will respond better to tuning and give better lifetimes, I would guess. good luck, GJ Edited January 18 by Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 1 Quote

Should be a lot tougher (and glossier) than Cerakote or electroplating, and probably close to what anodized aluminum would be. good luck, GJ Edited January 18 by Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 1 Quote

Rooster Ron Wayne Posted January 19 Posted January 19 I believe I will stick with The American Made Henry Repeating Arms .22 Works like a champ and made in The USA ! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 Just Sayin 😁 Rooster 2 Quote
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted January 19 Posted January 19 I've never checked out the Rossi .22 Wonder if it can be "Soft Stroked" like the Henry .22? ..........Widder 2 Quote
Nimble Fingers SASS# 25439 Posted January 19 Posted January 19 I like the Winchester 9422XTR I got my son at Bass Pro about 22 years ago FOR $299 on sale! Wish I had picked up one in .22mag too but money was tight back then. I have been looking at the Brownings recently as I believe they are very similar and cheaper than the Winchesters with “plain” wood instead of checkered. I saw that Winchester came out with a new .22 but have yet to see one in person, believe they are imported from Turkey but not sure. As anyone ever handled one of those?? Sorry forgot the name of them. Quote

I have confidence you can,🤠 1 Quote
watab kid Posted January 20 Posted January 20 (edited) my choices in what i have include everything mentioned but my preferences would be the 9422, marlin 39 or uberti 1866 these days , i have a couple great henrys bit would not be first choices Edited January 22 by watab kid Quote
Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 20 Author Posted January 20 I talked myself out of buying the Rossi, my Henry .22 is just fine plus it was my brother in law’s who’s not with us anymore. That said if anyone is looking for a .22 rifle the Rossi is definitely worth looking at! Thanks for all the responses! 🤠 2 Quote

He'll never know its missing from his inventory, just like the S&W 629 Performance Center 'Comp Hunter' i got from him. He still don't know its missing..... ..........Widder 2 Quote

watab kid Posted January 21 Posted January 21 as much as i did not endorse the choice ill concur in you choice , these are fine triflers and will serve you well , i often forget that some of us have a lot more choices than others depending on you aras of interest - id be deprived in the long range as i only have one choice , enjoy your experience in this - its what we are here for 2 Quote

Sorry forgot the name of them. I too love my Winchester 9422LR I used to have the Winchester 9422M also . But I never shot it just because of cost difference in the ammo . The new Winchester is the Ranger . It looks nice but its made in Turkey. Nothing wrong with Made in Turkey. But we have very well built Made In America or Not Made at all Henry rifles right here . I bought all my Grandsons a Life Membership for the NRA & A Henry Repeating Arms rifle gor the day the was born . Then I bought them Ruger Wranglers to keep them out of my Single Six guns .

The large loop has the regular lever held on with screws, LOP 12.5", 16" barrel, Widder short stroke, Rifleman trigger. Really lots of fun shooting this .22 rifle. When take regular lever off and screw out of trigger you can spin the rifle very easy. It's my play toy and yeeha! 1 Quote

Yes, I learned how to twirl it. How could you not? Haha! I love the Rifleman trigger on yours. I recently started watching the series again. One of the best Westerns on TV. 1 Quote
