I bought one for my son for christmas in 22/410. These are great little guns though I don't neccessarily agree with them being better than the NEF(I have an NEF 20ga also). Opening and closing the action on the Rossi is nowhere near as smooth as on my NEF. VERY rough. Overall though it is a great gun. Give the NEF a look. IMHO they are a little better fitted than the Rossi. They have the exact same gun that you are looking for plus a ton of other calibers that can be had just by ordering the additional barrel from the factory. They are much more versatile.The web address is www.hr1871.com. I doubt you will be disappointed with either one.
