I have heard that the rossi lever guns were good. But yesterday I saw several posts that were bad about rossi handguns. Does somebody else build the rifles for them? Thanks.

    Have both a .357 and .44 Rossi Puma lever action carbine. Bought them used from an estate of an avid cowboy shooter three years ago and have put hundreds of rounds (factory & reloads) through them with no problems at all - no idea how many rounds went through before I bought them, but know it had to be quite a few. Mine are very accurate up to 100 yards and show no sign of wearing out. They are not of a finer fit and finish quality of a Marlin or Winchester but they are good little rifles. I will have to say that the newer ones with the "safety" are a piece of junk in my opinion. I would buy another used or NIB older Puma if I had the need but would first try to find a good use Winchester or Marlin at the same price range.
    Pack slow, fall stable, pull high, hit dead center.
