Just bought my Rossi. Out of the box the charging handle is loose. Real wobbly. Is this normal? I've read reviews where they say it is.

Just the design of the Rossi receiver with how the bolt & charging handle work in conjunction with one another. You get the "Wiggle" on the charging handle.

Joseph, I actually have this gun, and mine is the same. It's normal and nothing to worry about. I have a few thousand round through mine and the charging handle hasn't fallen off yet. Video here >>> youtube.com/watch?v=qXpnzWkmzQM .....Have a great day!

Joseph, this is normal as demonstrated here Sir : youtube.com/watch?v=qXpnzWkmzQM

Joseph, yes, 100% normal. All the charging handles on Rossi rs22 have alot of wiggle/play in them. It's just the way they're made. The charging handle isn't actually attached to the bolt, it just sits in-between the grooves on the bolt. Once you take it apart and clean it you'll realize why it wiggles. Absolutely nothing to worry about. My Marlin model 60 sb does the same thing. Hope this helps.

Is there a wood stock available ?

John, yes but unfortunately out of stock at this time Sir. https://www.budsgunshop.com/search.php?q=754908216604&type=&search_in=description -- Cheers and stay safe!

They do make a wood stock version but currently unavailable here ....

What kind of hunting scope does it take

This has a 3/8 dovetail Rail so this could take just about any type of scope. You can buy dovetail scope rings or buy a dovetail picatinny rail so you can use picatinny scope rings. Hope this helps.

The Mounts are 3/8" so any scope with 3/8" clamps will work. There are many types of scopes available. I guess it all comes down to purpose (Plinking or Hunting) & how much you'd like to spend?

Scope, it has a receiver grooved ⅜" dovetail. An excellent and ready to mount scope is here : https://www.amazon.com/Hammers-Riflescope-3-9x40-Plinker-Dovetail/dp/B003UNS9H0

It has ⅜" dovetail mount, so it'll take any scope rings that attach via ⅜ dovetail, or you can get a dovetail to picrail, or dovetail to weaver rail mount, and then you can mount any scope/optic that attaches to a pic/weaver rail. Buds has an assortment of ⅜ mounts here are rings and rail adapters, irons, whole scope kits etc. https://www.budsgunshop.com/search.php?q=3%2F8+dovetail&type= -------------- For 22LR I prefer a good entry level reddot on a pic rail. Pic rail here https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/723001577/ncstar+38+dovetail+to+picatinny+rail+adaptershort+ ---------------- Solid affordable sig romeo 5 here https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/6997/sig+sauer+electro-optics+sor52001+romeo5+1x+20mm+obj+unlimited+eye+relief+2+moa ----------------- That's pretty much the exact setup I have on my 22lr. But with the products in my 1st link you can set it up how you like.

Chris, yes Sir, this is NJ legal to purchase and own as configured. Details under Rifles here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_jersey_restrictions.pdf
