Ted,
I have one in .223 also it has a heavy barrel on it,not standared of the Rossi/Braztec.Mine is very accurate I can put 10 shots in 2 inch circle at 100 yds,the only prob I have herd of is the front swivle screw is what holds the barrel to the forarm so if play with that it will afect accuracy greatly.
Other than that I'am happy about mine,it has a 6-24x40 mm Trashco scope and shoots great.
