RE: .223 Rossi
I have a couple of Rossi/Braztech matched pair setups. One is in the 243/20 gauge, and the other is 223/12 gauge variety. Both combos are reasonably well built and shoot pretty well with a descent scope on it. That one with the heavy barrel should do even better, especially if the scope is of descent quality. If it doesnt have it already and you purchase the rifle, make sure to get the thumb trigger extension so that you can reach it more comforatably.
