I bought a Circuit Judge about 1 year ago. I love it. I use a red dot sight and it shoots accurate enough for me. I usually buy American made firearms but since there is no American made gun like this I decided to give it a try. I'm not sorry. This firearm was well made.

Here in the UK with stringent gun laws buying any gun that may turn out a lemon is a nightmare,however took a gamble on a Rossi rio grande in 30-30 ,and it shoots great after a stripdown and polish of the action.groups well at a hundred yds.

I'm not one to take sides in a gun v gun brand loyalty battle. But it's a different animal when u put a guys grandkids aim in question, when the brand is well known to produce many lemons before it makes lemonade. And that doesn't only apply to Taurus. However, they definitely have the worst customer service. And offer no apology for ur lemon(s).

Most gunshops in anchorage won't carry Taurus, because 3 out of 5 fail. There is a saying in Alaska. ' why does Taurus have a lifetime warranty? The answer is because it takes them a lifetime to get a gun to fire correctly.

I am a bit disappointed that the firearm community is so quick to judge. I purchased a judge pistol a few years back, and accuracy was not an issue, as the gun didn't fire properly, until it's fifth visit to brazil. Yet I know people who swear by their Taurus. I'm considering a Rossi 44 mag in the future. But 2/5 Taurus fail miserably. Not because of the operator.

Bought a .243 youth wizard for my sons first deer gun back in Oct. recieved with a broken stock sent back to his disappointment to recieve another with a broken stock. Have been promised getting a new stock shipped twice now with still no stock and its Jan. finally got to talk to a manager supposebly by the name of Clifton who promised he would send me a stock that was a month ago still no stock. Everytime i try and call im on hold for atleast 20 minutes. Plus the gun is lucky to hit a piece of paper at 50 yards never have i been so disapointed in a firearm and unfortunetly is was my sons first. Never again will i buy a rossi product which is unfortunate because they have some really neat looking stuff to bad its not built as good as it looks and they have no customer support. If anyone knows of a corporate email or contact i would really appreciate thanks in advance.

Bought a Rossi Wizard .243 cal. and a 20 ga.slug barrel. The barrel fits the reciever but the forearm will not. Not help from customer service.

Funny, I have 5 different barrels for my Rossi matched set(I'm sure ROSSI would not approve of me mixing and matching different barrels and recievers, but I check them all for correct headspace)and all are very accurate. In fact I have rechambered a 7.62x39 barrel to .30-40 KRAG and it will shoot 1 hole 3 shot groups. Just a side note, sometimes a simple recrowning does the trick. Cost,about 7 bucks.

I recently bought the Circuit Judge and love it. It hasn't been shot for accuracy yet, but it has helped get rid of a few varmints around here. The firing is smooth.

I just bought a rossi 243 shooting both winchester and Hornaday round and the grouping is horible. I have a 137.00 savage 22 that will out shoot this gun. I will never buy another. I also am having trouble getting service and money back.

I purchased a 92 stainless trapper a couple years back and have enjoyed working with it. I intend to get a ranch hand, but am waiting for a stainless version of it also. What a pair of fun guns this will make.

I purchased my ranch hand yesterday chambered for the 45 cal. I coldnt be happier and with a little adjustment with the sights I was dead on at 25 yards, and held within 1.5" at 50 yards. No complaints here.

Blaming a gun for poor accuracy can be akin to blaming a car manufacturer when you have performance problems (but you fail to mention you use cheap gas). Ammunition plays a LARGE role in firearm accuracy. One of my favorite firearms is my .357 lever action Rossi and it is very accurate. (and I have had several Taurus handguns and love them). I run commercial loads and custom reloads. Ammo choice has been a major factor in the accuracy of all of my firearms.

i purchased a rossi youth model triflecta 243/20ga/22 in dec 09 hoping my grandkids would have a gun to hunt deer with this season but due to poor accracy of this rifle it has been picked up twice from my home by braztech and returned to me with new barrel and still wont hold agood shot group after calling braztech again they told me to return to dicks sporting goods for a refund but dicks would not refund my money so they offered to return it again this is 3rd time.so far i havnt heard from its been several weeks now and our deer season is already in i still have no gun for kids.Braztech told me the gun only shoots a 4 to5 inch group at 50yds any deer hunter knows this is not good and may not even hit paper at 100yds.after 3 times back to the factory i dont think i will ever trust a rossi and would bad mouth their products for poor quality.can anyone tell me how i can get my money back for this pc of junk so i can buy my grandkids a rifle to kill a deer with.i dont understand how the nra or american rifleman could put these products in their magazine.i am a very unhappy customer.thanks to anyone who may listen or better yet help me get my money back and by the way i may not buy anything from dicks sportig goods again thanks leon hutto lex.s.c.
