I have heard stories of them being cheaply made, but my Rossi has never failed to go boom. You just have to be careful how you place that sharp buttstock on your shoulder. This would be deadly as hell to buttstroke someone with. It runs as well as my 336. Mine had a 24" barrel that AllenM shortened to 18" so I could have a short carbine, and still have the heavy Octagon barrel.
