I finally was able to do some shooting today and decided to take out my Rossi Braztech 44mag rifle today. I was very impressed with the accuracy of this rifle. Anyone on the fence about buying one will not be disappointed.
The fit and finish on these Brazilian rifles is not perfect. The wood type is a mystery and the action was not very smooth, but the rifle did function properly. I decided to tear it down and do some research on its construction. The first think I did was order Kiowa Nate's Rossi 92 video, lighter springs, rear peep sight, and metal magazine follower to replace the plastic one installed in the rifle. The video shows how to disassemble, reassemble and how to slick up the action. I refinished the stock and glassbedded both top and lower tang to the buttstock. All work can be done by any novice and makes a HUGE difference in the function of these little lever action rifles.
