I had a previous posting about these rifles but I really need this one question answered.

Are these rifles still offered New in 24" octagon barrel rifle configurations?

I have a dealer price for the carbine but no listing for rifle.   Does anyone know were a rifle version can be gotten?

Thanks

I called Rossi and the 24" barrel is currntly not in production. There is no definitive answer if they will return.

Deacon,

Okay, well I never thought about doing that... Thanks for the info.  Do they have a 'place' here in the USA?  I thought they were in Brazil and that maybe a dealer would have a flier or brochure as to the options.

Once again you have come through with need info.  Deeply appreciate that.

Yup, they are now out of Florida. Talked to a very nice southern belle who went and asked someone. At least with the 20" barrels you can load 10 rounds.

I have a 24 inch Octo Hartford Model I got from Nate Kiowa Jones.  Like how it works, the stock on the rifle is just a tiny bit too long to easily get the lever fully opened with the butt in the shoulder.  Size apparently matters when you are 5' 6".  My rossi carbine 12 3/4 LOP is easy the Rifle with 13 1/2 LOP requires a bit of Technique to fully open lever with butt in shoulder.  Love the rifle though will be dandy in the deer or hog woods.

I realize this thread is almost 4 years old from OP, but I just bought a brand new 24" blued .357 and they were also offering in other calibers, and in SS.

Yes. I have one in .44mag. With the 24" octagonal barrel. It has the fore end cap (my favourite).



I can't tell you where to pick one up (I'm in Canada).

Howdy Rossi Fans,

After a misspent childhood watching cowboy movie and TV shows I had to go for an older (no offensive safety) carbine in .45 Colt. It's nowhere as smooth and fast as my 66's. I don't use it much in CAS because I shoot CC, but I just love it and wouldn't part with it.

No the rossi is not as slick as a 66 or 73 but if slicked up maybe the top 10% of shooters will be able to out run it.  The remaining 90% will not be able to.  No question if one is going to hunt with his cowboy gun a 92 in 44 mag is the hands down proper choice.
