Rossi Rio Grande .30-30 Win Lever-Action Rifle (Cosmetic Blemishes)

If you have been hunting for a hard-working lever gun that doesn’t break the bank, the Rossi Rio Grande .30-30 Win lever-action rifle (cosmetic blemishes) might be exactly what your safe needs. This is the same rugged, time-tested Rio Grande action that Rossi has been building for years, but with a few cosmetic blemishes that knock the price down to a point where you can actually afford to use it as a truck gun or a brush-country beater. We have handled a few of these ourselves, and the blemishes are typically minor scuffs or light handling marks on the metal or wood—nothing that affects function, accuracy, or reliability. For the money, this is one of the best values in a .30-30 lever action currently available.

Overview

The Rossi Rio Grande is a traditional lever-action rifle chambered in .30-30 Winchester, a caliber that has put venison in the freezer for over a century. This particular batch consists of rifles with cosmetic imperfections from the factory or shipping process. Mechanically, they are 100% functional and carry the same fit and finish as a standard production model. The action is smooth, the trigger is clean, and the tubular magazine holds up to five rounds of .30-30. If you are looking for a reliable woods rifle that you won’t cry over if it gets scratched, the Rossi Rio Grande .30-30 Win lever-action rifle (cosmetic blemishes) is a no-nonsense choice.

Features & Specs

• Caliber: .30-30 Winchester — a proven deer and hog cartridge with plenty of energy inside 200 yards.
• Action: Lever-action with a side ejection port and a blued steel barrel. The action cycles factory soft-point and flat-nose ammunition reliably.
• Stock: Hardwood stock with a satin finish and a straight-grip wrist. The forend is slim and easy to wrap a hand around for offhand shooting.

• Barrel length: 20 inches with a 1:12 twist rate. This keeps the rifle compact and easy to swing through thick cover.
• Magazine capacity: 5 rounds (tubular magazine under the barrel).
• Overall length: 39.5 inches. Weight is approximately 6.5 pounds, making it light enough to carry all day.
• Sights: Open adjustable rear sight and a brass bead front sight. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts if you prefer optics.

• Safety features: A hammer-block safety and a half-cock notch on the hammer. The trigger pull on the examples we have tested breaks at around 5 pounds with minimal creep.
• Cosmetic condition: These rifles have blemishes such as small dings, scratches, or minor finish irregularities. No functional defects. Expect a working gun, not a safe queen.
