I have this with a 22lr, 243 & 20ga. I have not had any problems with mine. I have also heard of some people saying they had accuracy problems with them. I am perfectly happy with mine.

I have two Wizards. Both had the same issue as yours,would not fire out of the box.About 5 to 10 minutes with a fine file and stone fixed them both. I removed a few thou’ from the hammer face, Test firing as I went, I was careful not to remove too much,which would result in pierced primers. Both are now very reliable and good,accurate shooters as well. Takes 50 or more rounds to clean up the rifling and “break in” the barrel, about the same as it takes to break in a Handi barrel. I am NOT suggesting you do this to yours,just telling you what fixed my own.

My Rossi came with a manufacturers defect. The firing pin doesn’t hit the primer hard enough to fire every round. Rossi doesn’t sell repair parts. I searched the Internet and found many other Rossi owners with the same problem. I called Rossi USA. The only way I can get it fixed is to ship the rifle and pay Rossi almost as much as a new rifle costs. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ROSSI!!!!!
