I finally got a .22 pump rifle

Post by wolfstein »

Since I was a teenager I have wanted a pump action .22 rifle. I couldn't justify the cost of a Winchester. So, I had never bought one. Last week I was at my friends pawn shop. He had a Browning 1911-22 that I purchased. That was my limit for a while. However. I stopped by this past Monday and he had this Rossi 62 SA. I just couldn't pass it up at $200 out the door. I know it is not a Winchester, but I am very happy with it. Thanks for looking.

Sweet.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Nice looking rifle! My next .22 will be a Henry lever.

You don't see too many of the Winchester pumps like that one, millman! I grew up shooting a Remington 572; I have the 552 auto, but I would like t get the 572 sometime.

One thing I always remember about the pump .22 rifles is that they were always used at the shooting galleys on the board walk.
