When did Rossi bring back their .22 pump?

[DeanMk]

It looks a little different than the old Winchester copy guns they made in the 70's and 80's, but those were the best rifles to come out of South America ever!
I sure hope these hold up the tradition.

Growing up with Winchester model 1890 nothing Rossi puts out ever peaked my interest.

While nothing beats the Winchester original, those earlier Rossi 22 pumps are great little rifles. I have one in nickle. They also have held their value well, selling for 350 - 450 on GunBroker.

Looks like they are following trends though.

Yep, those and the High Standard Mk. I and II revolvers.

After I made my opening post, I searched youtube for videos and have yet to find one.
Makes me believe this is a new reintroduction.

I agree, but in the 70's my uncle was tickled to death to be able to buy a new Rossi. He'd been looking for a "real one" and couldn't find anything he could afford.

I'd be all over that like white on rice. Well, except, Rossi.

The .22 is neat-o. I sold off my Rossi 62 not all that long ago. Was moving in a different direction, but it was a fine little carbine.

You want a Remington 572
