Re: Look at what I found today
Photo upload is terrible
But it is a 2010 45 Colt large loop 16” Blued Rossi 92 in perfect condition. The seller had not even cleaned the packing grease off of it. And I got it for considerably less than the last MSRP for these guns.
I cleaned and broke it in this afternoon by running about 150 rounds through it.

Re: Look at what I found today
I shot at 50 yards and a little over 120 yards. The 50 yard target had a nice 1.75 inch spread for three rounds the fourth shot I pulled and that opened the group to 3.45”.
At 120 it placed all shots within a paper plate and the five shots measures “4.20”!
This was with Winchester soft points. I think they are 255 grain if I remember correctly. The boxes were thrown out several years ago while the ammo has been in an ammo can.
Anyhow, the picture just barely pics up on it but the color of the receiver is a beautiful almost chocolate color!
Now I have seen the near purple color ones, and I have seen some with a red hue in the blues guns but this is the first chocolate color blued gun I have ever seen. And that is why I bought it. Well that and the fact that it was such a great price.

Re: Look at what I found today
There is a great contrast between the blue barrel and lever and the chocolate color receiver that is striking and dare I say pretty. I am quite pleased with my good luck today.

Re: Look at what I found today
Nice score. I'd have a hard time passing on a .45C right now.

Re: Look at what I found today
According to the Rossi serial number look up the gun is a 2014 model. Which is a bit of a surprise to me. The box looks like one from the days before Braztec took over. Anyway I’m enjoying it quite well and it feeds everything that I have fed it so far. And is quite a bit more accurate than the two I have owned before. Not to mention the fact that it is smoother and better finished than the others.
But the wood is not finished at all really. It looks as if it was hit with a light coat of stain and then boxed up. But I will use some Danish oil to remedy that issue.
Gotta load up some 300grain solids to try out next.
