My next rifle. Rossi in 45 colt.

Better be quick! Lol
Thats a nice rifle.

Had one of those in .357, would like to have another in .44 or .45/454.

Still looking for one of those for under $700 like they used to be….

When they were less dollars I could never find the Trapper Stainless like I wanted.

Nice looking rifle!

Had a 16" SS 44mag, gave me excellent service as a deer rifle in thick woods.

Picked up a 20" blued 357mag to use as a plinker.

I love my 16" blued 357 Rossi. Would like a 20" in 45 Colt, but it's a little ways down the list.

My brass 45 colt is a keeper. Yes 45 colt ,not that other word

Sold my R 92 24 inch .357.too heavy. The R92 brass receiver 45 colt is lighter. Bigger hole in the middle

You wont regret it!

My Rossi 45 puts a big smile on my face when I shoot it. Just pure unadulterated fun.
Along side is a Vaquero 45.
Congratulations Coalcraker. I like that stainless.

I have 20" round barrel Rossi's in .357 Magnum and 45 Colt and I'm on the lookout for a 44 Magnum Rossi or possibly a Marlin cowboy.

That tapered hex barrel is cool

My wife and I each have one. How she grew up not watching how John Wayne used a lever action ..........

I have a Stainless Rossi with a 20 inch barrel. Its been a good shooter. Removed the bolt safety and matted the finish. Add Ghost ring sights. It doesn't extract as well when it's below zero. Otherwise reliable as the day is long.

Grab it! I have a 20” round barrel .357. It’s just right.

The hex 24 inch I had when you shot 38's you didn't need hearing protection. It was too heavy for for what it was. My hex 45 colt is lighter. Don't see the brass frame much.

I've got the blued version that has quickly become my go-to farm gun. Its quick handling and with cowboy loads it isn't punishing to the ears if I have to pop a varmint without ear protection. I'm about to order a saddle ring for it and try using a single point sling with it.

I would love to find a 38/357 version of one around here. And I need to find a companion 45 colt revolver to go with my carbine.

Dandy little guns.

Mine was a little rough, so I stoned the action. Great little truck gun.

Nice gun, I enjoy my 20” blued model in .357.

If you find the ejection spring is throwing your empties too far, which is common, a switch to a hardware store or EBay Century C530 spring is an inexpensive fix. It also lightens the action.

Good luck with your new gun!

Would love to have 16" .357

Congrats on the find. You are going to have lots of fun.

Congratulations on your purchase. Waiting for the weather is hard this time of year. I shot mine last winter at negative 9.

Sometimes, when I carry my Rossi when hiking the forest service roads I stoke it with heavy hitters using 250 gr XTP and H-110. That is not a round I like to shoot at the range more than a few times. It can put a hurt on your shoulder.
The only mod I did was put a peep sight on it.

Again, congratulations!

Enjoy! I've had a 357 Rossi for a number of years and it's a fun rifle. Mine was a little rough, but as others have said above I took a stone to the action and now it's very smooth. If you decide to try and do the work yourself there are a couple of very good videos on YouTube that will show you how to take apart the rifle and what parts to smooth out. I'd recommend getting the Steve Guns Home Action Job kit as it has everything you'll need to slick up your rifle.
