The Rossi Gallery .22LR Pump Action Rifle
While attending the Gathering at the Sawmill event in South Carolina, I came across the Rossi booth and to my surprise, there were a couple of firearms there I had never seen before. A while back on The Rimfire Report, I covered a few pump-action style .22LR rifles that were already on the market. I had somehow missed the Rossi Gallery release during SHOT Show 2020 and was glad to finally get to experience it hands-on at The Gathering at the Sawmill.
The Rossi Gallery .22LR Pump Action Rifle
The Rossi Gallery is a near-exact clone of the Winchester Model 61/62 pump action rifle. Gallery guns of that type were fairly popular for recreational shooters and even children learning to shoot. Even today, pump-action rimfire rifles like the Rossi Gallery can often be found in the hands of landowners out hunting squirrels or groundhogs for pest control.

Styled after the original gallery guns of the late 1890s, the Rossi Gallery is a sliding-action pump rifle chambered for .22 LR. Featuring a polished black 18-inch barrel and 15-round capacity tube magazine, the Gallery reintroduces one of the most endearing and fun target, plinking, and small game hunting rifles in American history.
I ran a couple of tubes through the Rossi Gallery at the event and it was as fun as you could expect. There is just something about manually operated firearms that make them a joy to shoot over semi-auto rifles or pistols. The firearm I shot at the booth had an extremely smooth action and light but a safe trigger.

Loading the Gallery was a breeze and with a 15-round tube, it seemed like the fun would never end. If I had any requests that I could give directly to Rossi as far as future iterations of pump-action .22LR guns go, it would be to produce a model with a threaded barrel and perhaps even a side loading or bottom loading version.

what about a 357 version, would be a great companion and still could put food on the table or keep predators away. i prefer the pump action to the bolt or lever action in
pistol caliber carbines.
Good for Texas. Maine has had this for a few years. Vermont has had it forever though.with the influx of liberals, I don't know for how much longer. Permits needed to purchase and carry firearms is an infringement. Too bad our elected officials choose to ignore the Constitution they swear to uphold. Any and all firearms laws were based on racism and bigotry. Almost all were introduced by democrats.
