I doubt Rossi does. If anyone does they're a member here.

I'm not sure if exact number but I believe that caliber to be one of the rarest of any made by Rossi.

A few years back, Rossi did confirm that only 100 rifles were chambered in 480 Ruger.

I called Legacy, the importer of the 480, and yes, the guy confirmed that only 100 where made.

I did not know of this. A while back I found one "as new in box" at an Albuquerque gun show. Examined it and action seemed quite smooth and rifle as advertised. I pondered it for about 1/2 hour after I handled it. Asking price was around $475. I let it pass - too bad.

I want to say that the last one on GunBroker, last year, went for about a grand.
