Rossi was founded in 1889 by Amadeo Rossi in São Leopoldo, Brazil, and has spent well over a century building affordable, dependable firearms. Now part of the same group as Taurus, Rossi is best known in the U.S. for accessible rifles and revolvers that deliver classic styling and reliable function at a budget-friendly price.
The lineup leans on rimfire and lever guns: the Rio Bravo lever-action and RS22 semi-auto are popular first .22s, the Gallery pump revives a plinking classic, and the centerfire lever actions echo the cowboy guns of the Old West. The break-action single-shot rifles and the Tuffy and Circuit Judge — the latter a revolving carbine that fires .45 Colt and .410 — show Rossi's knack for affordable, characterful designs, alongside a line of double-action revolvers.
For shooters who want a fun, reliable rifle or revolver without spending much, Rossi has been a trusted value for generations.
