I recently purchased a Rossi new single 410. adult size , so when I first saw it in-the store it looked like the youth size, so I asked the dealer to measure it and he said nope full adult size , then I went to the field and shot a few rounds , kicked for a small bore, but OK everything was working good , so the next run to the gun store I noticed all the long guns and their sticks look kids size at least 75% of them , so is it they are actually making them so light and smaller they just don't feel like grand dads old Mossberge bolt heavy and like a real mans long gun? hhmmmmm? any body notice this?:smiley_depressive:

Can't make money and keep them profitable at full size..... My sons 870 reminds me of a youth model as well....

LOP has been shortened for a while. I have to shim all my rifles. I like a LOP of about 14.5" on most of my long guns.

Moral of the story buy old guns when you spot them at flea markets, garage sales, and if its a good price, gun shows.

I am no fan of rossi's.
