Default RE: .22 Caliber Rifle

ORIGINAL: SifuSkyler

Anyone heard anything about the Rossi Matched pair? It's a .22LR that quick-changes to a 12 ga. Talk about versatility. And it's only like $150. I've been thinking about picking one up.
[:@][:@] DO NOT!!! I REPEAT DO NOT buy a Rossi Matched Pair. I picked one up and regreted it greatly. I found the .22 sights are a bit wide (though a scope would fix that) and the shotgun barrel is completely unpadded on a very light brush-size shotgun. I bought the 20 ga barrel with my .22 and I was only able to shoot it less than a dozen times before I put it to bed until I could sell it. The day after I shot my shotgun, I had a bruise the size of a grapefruit on my shoulder and I don't bruise easily.

Don't make this mistake. I'd strongly recommend going with either a marlin with their micro grooves (I use a model 780 bolt) or a savage with their accu-trigger (which I hear is the best thing since smokeless powder).
