The process of chambering a round, the harmonious movement of its mechanical parts, and the gratifying feeling as the bolt locks into place combine kinetics and aesthetics in a way that fulfills a shooter’s desires. Rossi has consistently met these expectations with its range of pistol-caliber rifles. Now, they expand their lineup with a 45-70 Government chambering, suitable for a variety of uses typical of this powerful cartridge. The rifle features a threaded barrel (5/8x24) to accommodate muzzle devices.
