Old Ron is the front guy for them in the US, and several other importers including ATI (the little GSG-5, .410 AR-style shotgun) and just about every Turkish shotgun.
Yes, they are good rifles, but are very expensive.
Since Rossi just took around a $100 price decrease, there is nearly $300 difference between the Rossi and the Puma (US importer) of the Italian made guns.
Your dealer should sell you one of the Rossi rifles now for around $400.
The Italian ones are $600-800! Although I liked the look of the Italian gun better and looks much more authentic, I already have an older Rossi and had a track record of no problems with it. I couldn't justify the extra cash, and so picked up a stainless .357 Rossi for $436. plus tax through my local pusher.
My only question is...where is service going to come from if needed?
I can get parts for my Rossi.
