Customer Reviews for Rossi R98 Plinker 6" 22 Long Rifle Revolver

Very accurate firearm. Used as a teaching tool for new shooters in the family. Service from Bud's was excellent as was my local FFL, US Patriot Firearms.

Out of the box grouping quality factory LR in a pie plate at 50 yards. Squirrels at 25 all day long. This company has really come up to the big leagues. Price, quality, weight, balance, they check all the boxes. I've been firing this moderately for 5 or 6 years now. No issues. Tight cylinder. Handles all types of ammo. I prefer the coated lead because of the slightly easier cleaning but in a pinch it will fire anything you stick in it. It's definitely on par with my far more costly hand guns.

The first impressions of the gun were very good. It has a good single and double action trigger pull with good fit of grips etc. It is a decent shooter with good ammo but not the most accurate 22 revolver I have by any means. Overall it is worth the price but if you are looking for a target gun this is not it.

Buds was great as always. The finish is not blue as per rossi's web site. Other then that it looks and works great.

What a bargain, been waiting on a double action long barrel at a good price and 8 rounds is great too. This one is a keeper. Buds was great and the Rossi was brand new with a light coat of oil just as it should be. Lock up is tight and double action is normal. Grip is a little short but I have big hands. No complaints about the sights.

I picked this gun up yesterday from my FFL and although the gun appears to be fairly well made I was disappointed in the finish. All the pictures that I had seen of this gun shows a polished blue finish. The 2016 ROSSI catalog specs even state it has a polished blue finish. The finish on this gun appears to be a dull parkerized finish that is actually rough in places around the cylinder. I went ahead and accepted it for what it is but they should update the specs to reflect this. I wasn't sure about the grip in the pictures but it fells better in the hand that you would expect.

Highly impressed with the high quality of revolver! Was delivered four days after order placed, Buds has great service, and super prices! Will positively use them again!

Shot about 300 rds through it so far, nice looking gun many compare it to a Colt cobra "looks that is " Well balanced, accurate , nice trigger action both single and double, barely any noticeable recoil Its not my S&W model 15 Master piece target, but it didn't cost as much either. Well worth the price, And Buds service "Right on target" have bought two from them and getting ready for the third

Took it to the indoor range today and put 160 rounds thru with no problems. SA trigger was crisp with clean break and no noticeable creep. It ended up being lighter than I expected. DA was not bad and it staged well before breaking. Having shot only semi-auto pistols before I am pleased with my 1st revolver purchase. Sight picture was nice , the gun pointed well and seemed very accurate. Probably more accurate than the shooter. As I said before the DA trigger was not to heavy but I think some index finger strengthening exercise will be needed for this semi-auto only so far finger. All in all I am very please with the pistol given the price point and it being my 1st revolver. Now if they can get the 4" model in stock, I would seriously consider that one for my wife (or for me).

Hard to beat for the price point. The sights are great, accuracy is good, and no mechanical issues at all. It isn't a Smith or Ruger in finish or trigger (though single action isn't at all bad) but you can do a pile of shooting with the difference in cost. I have been pleased with other Rossi products, and this item is no different.
