I've started noticing the new polymer stocked Rossi .22's and I'm interested in one. Does anyone have one and have any recommendations?
I like the lever more, but the pump might be fun too.
The price isn't too bad - around $300 or less.

I found one of the very old Rossi .22 pumps without the fugly safety on top of the bolt 40 years ago. Has a nice nickel finish with a sharp looking blond stock and pump handle. The blond ones are scarce. Just looked at the polymer Rossi on GB in question. Pretty homely. Don’t think so. Find yourself a tried and true Marlin or Ruger 10-22.

Just to follow up, I did get one of the Gallery pumps. Yeah, it's kinda ugly but it's fun to shoot! Comes with pretty good sights. I was bouncing spent shotgun shells at about 15 yards with no problem. Would be a great little gun to take camping or fishing without worrying about scratching up your nice 39a!
