*LIVE* Rossi / Taurus R243 .243 Win Blue 22" *HEAD TURNING SINGLE-SHOT RIFLE*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis

Rossi Single Shot Rifles combine simplicity, accuracy, and practicality in a rifle built for generations of shooting enjoyment. Each of these rifles is equipped with a scope rail that accommodates all popular optics. The heavy barrel models are button-rifled for extreme accuracy. Rossi varmint rifles and their standard profile counterparts all feature a black synthetic stock with removable cheek piece and are equipped with Rossi’s soft recoil pad and distinctive white line spacer, button rifled barrels, adjustable fiber optic sights and sling swivels.

Centerfire models have an extra wide positive action extractor to ensure easy removal of the spent case when you open the breech, while the rimfire models carry a powerful ejector that reliably kicks the spent or unfired shell clear. These rifles combine four safety systems to make them as safe and enjoyable as possible. The Rossi single-shot rifle incorporates a transfer bar mechanism that stops the hammer from striking the firing pin unless the hammer has been cocked and the trigger has been pulled completely rearward.

This helps prevent accidental firing from drops or impact. All Rossi rifles incorporate their breech lock system, which prevents the action from being opened or closed when the hammer is cocked, along with their manual hammer block safety and Taurus Security System. Over 100 years of firearms design has taught them that safety comes first and foremost.
