Greetings, just thought I would finish up the story posted in May of this year. The barrel was sent back to Rossi and a new barrel was delivered Thursday, this then was shot and it shoots well now. Groups about 1.5 @100, not stellar but still plenty deer worthy. Just thought if anyone was having issues perhaps they may also want to send it back in. This board is one othe best I am on and I say Thank you to all the great posters. Good shooting to all.
