Our Assessment: This Rossi overland is a 12 gauge side by side shotgun that is chambered for 3” shells. Amadeo Rossi founded his namesake gun company in 1889, but Rossi only entered the U.S. market in the 1970s. The company’s products were originally distributed by a number of American importers before Rossi ultimately established its own subsidiary in the U.S. BrazTech. The shotgun was imported from the late 1970s until 1988. This particular shotgun is immensely popular among cowboy action shooting enthusiasts for its affordability and quality design. Good luck on your bid!
