Rossi Rio Grande 410 - Any Good?
Hello, all. Just curious: does anyone own one of these? Are they as troublesome to load as I've been told? Is it smooth bore?
Thanks, Bill |

As a repeater, it's slower than anything but a bolt action or single shot. |

So far, reviews of this gun seem all negative. But, I just may be able to get one for below cost in a .01 auction on Gunbroker.com. And, it'll only function reliably with 2.5" shells.

Range Report
I was finally able to locate one of these in Stainless Steel for $380 off Gunbroker.com. So far, I've run about 120 rounds through, 80% of which has been 000 buckshot. The only problem I had was an occasional Failure to Extract fired rounds and this only happened with some old Italian made ammo ( probably distorted rims). Federal 000 ran 100% so did Remington #8. Recoil was manageable, but it did knock the rear buckhorn sight out of adjustment. Anyways, made a lot of 40 cal holes in targets and spray cans!
