This is a honest, hardworking rifle from Rossi, a brand known for delivering dependable firearms at a price that keeps the sport accessible. The cosmetic blemishes on these rifles are exactly that – surface-level scuffs or finish imperfections that do not affect function or accuracy.

Features & Specs

Built around the time-tested .30-30 Winchester cartridge, the Rossi Rio Grande is a solid, no-nonsense lever action. It feeds reliably, cycles smooth after a short break-in, and carries that classic look that lever-gun fans appreciate. The stock and forend are hardwood, and the action is a traditional side-eject design, making it easy to mount a low-profile scope if you prefer optics over open sights.

• Caliber: .30-30 Winchester – a proven deer and medium-game cartridge with a flat trajectory inside 200 yards.
• Barrel length: 20 inches with a blued finish; the action is a sturdy forged steel receiver.
• Tube magazine holds 5 rounds (4 in the tube, 1 in the chamber) – plenty for a quick follow-up shot.

These rifles are manufactured by Rossi in Brazil and imported to the U.S. market. They are built on a design that borrows from the classic Marlin 336 action, so aftermarket parts and accessories are widely available. The trigger breaks clean at around 5-6 pounds, and the hammer has a half-cock safety position.

• Overall length: 38.5 inches, weight: about 6.5 pounds – easy to carry all day in the field.
• Sights: adjustable semi-buckhorn rear, brass bead front. They are adequate for iron sight shooting out to 100 yards.
• Stock: checkered hardwood with a rubber buttpad to tame recoil.
