Shannow Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 A while back I posted that I'd bought a Rossi matched pair in .22/12Ga...It wasn't strictly what I wanted. H and R weren't coming into the country at that point, and for a combo, I'd prefer a .410, which was only available with .22Mag (thus my idea of using the 12ga bits to make 9mm).We have a single shot comp, for strict single shot open sights. The rossi has fibre optic front sight, and the break action is ideal for one round with 5 shots in 45 seconds, where fumbling around with feeding ramps in bolt actions, and cocking firing pinsIt went down a treat, everyone wanted a play.Pretty ammo tolerant, CCI bluebox, Lapua Club and Winchester sub hollow points all shooting to the same POI at 60 yards, and keeping me inside the 4 ring (our blacks are 4, 5, V)...even stingers were about 1.5 minute of coke can at 130(ish) yards with the 60 yard sight set-up.Had an absolute ball shooting the simplest, cheapest rifle in my collection.Great rifle for teaching children too...I will be in 4 years or so when my daughter reaches legal age.

Shannow Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Posted May 10, 2011 Will have to take some.Been struggling to get to the range for the last few years (to shoot, other than do admin).Moved on from turbines, and now seem to have a whole lot more free time to read, and enjoy my shooting again. Quote
