The Gallery model features a smooth pump-action with an external hammer and an under-barrel tubular magazine capped by a brass-colored follower. Capacity is 15+1 rounds of .22 LR, making it well-suited for extended range sessions without frequent reloading.
Sighting is straightforward and traditional: a hooded brass-bead front sight pairs with a buckhorn-style rear sight adjustable via a step elevator. The receiver top includes 3/8-inch dovetail grooves for rimfire rings, offering flexibility for ring-mounted rimfire optics if desired.
The hardwood stock presents a straight-comb profile with a rear sling-swivel stud, while the corncob-style hardwood forend provides a classic look and positive purchase. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches. The metalwork shows a blued and black finish with a matte black receiver for a purposeful, glare-reducing appearance.
Manufactured in Brazil by CBC for Rossi/Braztech, this recent-release model (MPN RP22181WD) carries clear import markings: “Made in Brazil by CBC” and “Braztech International, Bainbridge, GA.” It was introduced at SHOT Show 2020 as a contemporary take on Rossi’s Model 62-style gallery guns.
Component originality is supported by matching serial numbers on the barrel shank, tang/receiver extension, and underside of the receiver. The forward-mounted slide-release lever located ahead of the trigger is a practical control that complements the rifle’s gallery-gun heritage.
