What’s Included
- Rossi Model 59 .22 WMR pump-action rifle
The Model 59 uses a steel, open-top receiver patterned after the Winchester Model 62, paired with a 23 in. blued steel barrel. The action is pump-operated with an exposed hammer, delivering the familiar feel and timing of classic gallery rifles.
It employs a takedown design via an action screw, allowing quick two-piece separation for transport and maintenance. Feeding is through an under-barrel tubular magazine with a nominal 10-round capacity for a total of 10+1.
Sighting equipment is traditional and practical: a fixed front blade and an adjustable rear leaf with a stepped elevator. The sight picture is straightforward and in keeping with the rifle’s classic rimfire layout.
The hardwood stock features a straight grip and a checkered metal buttplate with a circular monogram. Up front, a grooved corncob-style wooden forend provides secure purchase during cycling. Length of pull measures 13.0 in., and published weight is about 5.5 lb, giving the rifle an easy, well-balanced carry.
Manufactured in Brazil, the rifle bears clear factory markings: AMADEO ROSSI S.A. - MADE IN BRAZIL. This example is noted as a reproduction, capturing the lines and handling of the traditional pump-action rimfire pattern in .22 WMR.
