Back when I was a kid in the 60s, Harrington and Richardson came out with their Topper model. It was basically a single barrel, break action shotgun with several available barrels in a number of rifle and shotgun calibers. Back when I was gunsmithing I did a modification of a .410 barrel for a topper. Cut it to 18 inches, bored it to .45, rifled it to .458 and chambered it for .45 long colt pistol ammo. The customer also had a 20 ga. barrel for it. Made a very useful combo. As far as I know he never had a problem with it. That was almost forty years ago.
I bought one of these for my son back when he was 13. His is a 22lr & a 410. It has become the best camping gun we have ever had. The thing is just handy as heck, & well made. I think it was the best gun for teaching him how to shoot. Being a single shot he learned real fast that every shot counts. They are great guns !
I have the same. I got it used from a buddy, but the 410 was never used. After a awhile the .22 started misfiring a lot. It look like the pin wasn't hitting the rim good enough. I still use the shit outta the 410 though.
I think most people missed the point. This is not a combat rifle or a gun fight rifle,this is a easy to pack kit that allows you to fight your way out of the city with your AR. Then when you get to the bush you can conserve your 556 ammo and get game to survive.I have been around guns all my life and a 22,20g or 410 will kill anything in north america if you know how to place your shot.I have owned all sorts of guns and still seem to favor the 22,20g and 410 because of the ease of use.If you want to survive in Alaska then i would get a bigger gun...My thoughts,learn to fish,make traps and hunt small game. if you end up in a SHTF we will need to band together in order to live long enough to use any survival rifle you may think is the BEST.
The thing is in SHFT scenarios everyone heads for the bush stripping every smaller city or town till hitting ranches/farms stripping that heading to the most isolated areas battle hardened willing and crazy enough to burn down whole forests to take anyone fighting back.
This is a fine and versatile weapon. Another good option for a bit less money is a single shot H&R 12 gauge ($150) with adapters ($70). The nine inch rifled adapters slide into the 12 gauge barrel giving you the versatility of shooting a wide range of calibers. Adapters come in .22 caliber, 9mm, .38 & .45 caliber, .410 and 20 gauge. I think they're going to start making adapters for .357 & .44 mag.
Every time I see a video like this I always read a response that refers to epic gun battles! The focus of this design is you can grab a hand full of different bullets and hit the bush and provide yourself food with a variety of different game. I sometimes hit the woods with my bow and my main form of protection (if you will) is a can of dog spray and a SOG tomahawk! I am a avid outdoors men and I have yet to have a epic gun battle, in most cases, I never even see footprints of any other people let alone invading North Koreans.
HELL YEA BRO! Gunfights EVERYWHERE! Thats what call of duty told me! No but seriously most of the people saying that shit will be crying in a corner with pants full of their own feces hoping that someone will come rescue them.
Most of these so called SHTF warriors (and I use that term very loosely) have never been in the Military let alone a fire fight. If they had been they would know that against a well trained squad that has worked together they would not stand a chance. They will be the ones either dead or cowering in a corner someplace. IF and I say IF SHTF those that know how to provide themselves with food, water, shelter etc will be the ones to survive.
It's what I call the Walter Mitty syndrome. In my opinion (and I freely admit that I could be wrong), if your SHTF involves daily combat, then you have utterly failed at choosing a BOL. Better hope it's not TEOTWAWKI, because if it is and you're "surviving" like a soldier in battle, you ain't gonna survive long.
I'm in my sixties, and this reminds me of my old Cooey single shot 410 gauge that i use for a deer rifle with 44-40 shells with a 18 in barrel. I also have a 16 gauge with a 32 in barrel that I use for upland birding. Guarantee both of my American made Winchester Cooey cost one hell of a lot less than them, and they are wooden stock with a browned steel receiver and barrels.
I have one that was gifted to me ages ago by a cousin who purchased it as a home defense gun and in reality only shot it maybe once or twice when he first bought it. The thing was mint for it’s age and despite being a pretty bland gun and the single shot .22 secondary barrel being useless to me, it holds charm! I never used it except once myself maybe ten years ago and it just sat in storage all it’s life. These past few months, I set it up w/ a red dot and one of those shell strings in order to compensate for it’s biggest disadvantage which is if a 2nd shot is needed. I’m probably going to continue on carrying it around the farm as the “rugged, goes everywhere” gun, but just discovered those rifle adapters that are perfect for single shot .12 guages supposedly. In your experience from crafting them, do you feel this gun is powerful enough to handle a .45-70, .30-06, or .30-30 as a regular thing? Someone told me that in reality, single shots have a major advantage to all others due to getting to put “all it’s might and power”😂 into one shot at it’s own ease?
@@portugal5698 people who don't live on they're own land don't need guns for home defense they just need a mini pistol for rented home defense and homes that aren't on theyre own private land, it's a right to be able to protect livestock eitha gun from other animals and only to attack intruders if they enter your home, the right of passage law comes into place so if your land isn't 100 percent Lisenced as as private business or farm
I recently added the Rossi Trifecta to my arsenal. I have the .22 Lr, 20 gauge,and the .243 barrels. Very handy little weapon,and a very versatile addition to any prepper's/survivalist's arsenal.
To me a survival rifle should be a 22 or 22 magnum. If things were to get really bad either of those rimfires would allow someone to carry much larger numbers of ammo with which to harvest game.
These are great little guns; I had one with the .22 and the 20gage barrel. I had no complains; the 20 kicked like heck with buck shot or slugs and the slugs went out in to space; no way to aim them; the .22 was not threaded; I traded it off. If they made one with a .22 threaded barrel and open sights on the shot gun barrel I would buy one. However, you guys who think you are going to live off the land when the SHTF are dreaming. What you are going to need then is something to defend your self from the predators that are hunting you, eh?
Getting the 12 gauge barrel will allow you to use all the sub caliber adapters from either chiappa or short lane , then you could get a few other barrels for rifle rounds like 5.56mm & any others would make this the most versatile platform for SHTF . Alot nicer than my 12 gauge hatfeild, but I went the inexpensive route. Good video & thank you for sharing .
Back again! My local pawn shop had a two barrel set for this breakdown rifle/ shotgun…22LR and .410 barrels, only slightly used so I bought it. Glad to look over this video again as I did not remember that the stock and forearm are hollow. Will pack them full of goodies! Spare knife, ferro rod, rope cleaning kit, etc.! Thanks for this video!
@@how8981 finding the set was a fluke. I have 3 pawn shops I check every 3 months and that is how I came across it. Price I think was around $120 for the set, with the original carry case. I painted the barrels and stock in a grass camouflage pattern. I do not like black as it sticks out in the woods!
Now with it set up, and in its camo painted carry case, it resides in the back of my SUV, just in case I have to bailout some time, this gun and my .380 Taurus semi-auto will go with me! The butt has fire starter kit, cleaner kit, bank line, etc. in it. With my waterproof camo poncho and a couple of candy bars, I can go far by foot if need be. Even room for a Mylar blanket or wrap!
I carry a Hatfield 410 in my 4X4 truck for a survival tool. I have a 10 inch long barrel insert in 9mm for shooting game. I drilled out the wood stock to carry the 9 mm insert barrel in it and used only 1 butt plate screw for access.. Also drilled out my but stock to carry spare ammo in 410 and 9mm. Plus a side stock shell holder. Wish Hatfield would produce a plastic stock like this Rossie so I could carry several barrel inserts to make it a truly versatile survival rifle. That weight in the stock looks like it could be replaced with a 22 barrel adapter insert for 410`s. That Rossie is nice but looks heavy with all 4 barrels along for the ride.
MIAMI - Rossi Firearms, the leading manufacturer of youth-sized long guns, introduces its newest version of the award-winning Trifecta. Offering three guns in one, the system originally included easily interchangeable .243 Winchester .22 Long Rifle, and 20-gauge barrels. Now Rossi offers more versatility and knock-down power with the option of choosing either a .243 or .44 Magnum barrel.
I love my Rossi trifecta. I store a multi tool, small flashlight and paracord in the butt stock. The old two piece cheap style scope mounts that use one Allen screw in the middle are perfect for mounting these cheap rechargeable flashlights on any barell from .22 -12 ga. They also don't cover the flood light part of the light. The strobe mode is blinding and it's a better light than the one I bought at Rural King with the laser made in it. I also removed the loop and slightly drilled out the studs for the sling mount so I can use a comfortable sling with a thumb loop like I prefer. The sling that detaches from the cary bag works fine for short distances but is not wide or padded. The youth models are a great first gun for children and you get many choices of barells.
Crazy. My .50 cal cva wolf muzzle loader looks almost like an identical clone to this one. I've actually considered using it as my shtf gun because it breaks down so easily and how versatile it is.
I have the blued version with 20g, .243, and .22LR...you'll want to use powdered graphite, like they use for locks, as dry lubrication...for rust prevention I use tallow, renewable in the "woods"...the metal rod in the butstock is barrel counter-weight...unless you use high rings, you won't be using the cheek piece... the "iron sites" don't have enough windage adjustment so you will want to consider optics...unless you remove the optics from the barrels they won't all fit into the carrying case...this is a great option, other than sight in I haven't used the .22, as my savage mark II has a WAY better trigger, I got a doe last year with the .243 but with the heavy trigger I mostly use the 20g as it's a point and mash...I may see if a gunsmith could work the trigger to break at a lighter pull weight since it's a real pleasure to carry all day, and I'm not sorry in the least that I bought it...hope this helps some...
Good little utility gun, decent trigger & soaks up the recoil well(at least on my .243/12g combo). Barrels available from .22lr to 45-70 govt rifle & .410 to 12g 3in mod(as far as I know). My only knock is on the plastic open sights, the rear adjustments leave a little to be desired & it didn't take me long to bust the fronts(one TIMBER & it was meatball surgery with some Gorilla glue). I don't have the 4 barrel case, but the it breaks down well with the 2 barrel case. If you know how to hunt it'll score you some mall ninja jerky, let their steaming remains lead you on which way not to go...
I long ago saw the advantages of one receiver and multiple barrels, but that is limited by the one shot restriction. Yes I own a TC Contender and a Pro Hunter. I have kicked myself for not buying an H&R back in the 1970's when they were available at reasonable prices. A quick check on-line shows these are hard to find anywhere.
This was interesting and educational. I did not know that Rossi made such a thing. The case would interest me IF it would take barrels with scopes on them, so they would not have to be rezeroed each time the scope was put back. I have a H&R Handi Rifle and the major differences are it has a wood stock (NOT plastic) and barrels were not sold separately. The action had to be returned to the factory to be fitted. I liked that. I have a pair of bull barrels in .223 & .308, a pair of standard barrels in .22 Hornet & .30-30 and a separate standard barrel in .44 Magnum. I am so pleased that I got them while they were still available. So my only problem now is figuring out what to do about a case.
H&R 12ga single shot with a black powder "muzzleloader" adapter. Throw in a survival stock/forend combo holding the adapter, wads and some shot, a firestarter, a small multi tool, a compass, a micro map, and a mylar blanket. You're set for a tough adaptable gun. Everything I listed, plus the gun, cost less than $200 total.
I believe that in an economic crisis or some other type of major event to where ammunition becomes an issue that having a multi-chambered weapon would be advantageous solely for the purpose of being able to scavenge ammo of different caliber and gauge and it still be useful. especially in a situation where ones home or primary location and supplies are seized or compromised.
I have a 1915 STEVENS FAVORITE TAKEDOWN 22 RIFLE which I have used for years. I think the concept is very similar, except for the shotgun barrel being exchangeable. I believe my Stevens was also interchangeable with the 25 rimfire back in the day. If course a 25 rimfire cartridge would be difficult and expensive to find today.
Thomas Knight wish I still had my savage not sure if it was the 24d but was 223/20g. I reckon it would have been better if it was 6mm Rem or 6.5mm mauser. Rossi is overpriced for a pack rifle. too much hassle having 3 barrels.
Craig neuman I wanted a .22 or over .410 , but my now ex-wife screwed up and bought the .22 mag over 20 ga for Christmas. Best screwup of our marriage!
If I could only have one Gun it would be a Ruger 10-22. You can hunt with it, Defend yourself with it and carry hundreds of rounds of ammo in your pocket.
Why? They are really not that accurate, and the trigger pull is stiff. Thompson Contender makes a version of the 10/22 ,and it way more accurate, and the trigger pull is great! Gun weighs 5lbs super lighter than the Marlin, or the Ruger.
I've been looking for a survival gun just like this one. I will be looking up their web site hear shortly to see if they have what I need, THANK YOU for this video it helped a lot.
My Rossi came with a 20 gauge shotgun barrel, and a 30-06 rifle barrel with a scope. Both are a blast to shoot. My version has a solid wood stock, and no storage space. I might want to look at one of these close up.
If you need a 22 to eliminate pests in a suburban environment, a Rossi 22 paired with Aguila primer only 22 LR cartridge will do the job. Neighbors won't recognize it as a gunshot, quieter than a handclap. Rats, starlings, house sparrows inside 25 feet are no problem. Thats what I got the gun for and is all I use it for. Although I do love single shot rifles, this doesn't begin to compare with the 22/410 Savage Over/Under I had as a boy. This gun would be better than throwing rocks for other purposes I suppose, or if this was all you could afford. The plastic sights are junk at any distance, they won't stay in adjustment and the plastic deforms. Put a red dot or a scope on it. Since the Aguila Super Colibri won't cycle in any sort of automatic, a single shot is the perfect rifle to shoot it from. I think the 22 barrel is probably accurate enough out to 100 yards but only if you don't have anything better.
Get the TNW Aero swap out butt stock and grip for better quality and it is a beast. I have it from 22 to 9mm, 357, 45acp and 10mm. I think they have more but I run a Vortex spitfire and it is flawless, crazy accurate, and is an easy light low recoil simple breakdown gun. I have all of these breakdown types as I put them in all cars boats houses etc. the 10mm Aero Survival rifle is my favorite.
Mine has a 22lr, 20 gauge,amd a .243 barrels. I'm impressed with the little weapon. I have 300 bucks invested in it,and I doubt I could do any better choosing a "survival rifle". I have numerous other weapons for potential combat situations...But the versatility and weight of this weapon makes it an ideal choice for a prepper.
@@royjohnson7211 the one I got for my son was great cheap and safe. and well built . his is older model . has a very short stock . but I can still shot fine with it. we have a farm up north and many ppl bring kids over for me to teach . most are family .and that's the gun I use.
@@royjohnson7211 it is a good survivor set . one thing is variety .small not to heavy . kicks like a mule. but very accurate. my reason for buy was so my son and friends could all shot. just about all my rifles are semi automatic. and the 22 jamb all the time .wanted a single shot
got one for my son years ago. most of my guns where semi auto. and when let young adults shot the semi auto jam. 22 .theses are single shot very accurate . .and it is very compact. but being small it does kick hard with shotgun. his was a 20 gauge. it is a good gun . very safe training gun. worth every penny to get semi auto out of there hands
Just get a double barrel 12 gauge with the savage four-tenner barrel adapters as well as a handful of barrel adaptors on eBay for multi calibers. That way you can always have 1 shell of 00 buck or a slug in there but also run any other caliber you can imagine. Problem with single barrel break opens is the fact they are single barrel. Would rather have a backup shot if a brown bear was charging my way.
I prefer H&R or N.E.F due to their transfer bar safety. ANY single shot 12 ga. or 20 ga. can be equipped with rifled chamber adapters to fire .22, .38/357M & .44 Mag. respectively.
I understand the purpose of having various caliber barrels, and this set up should be reasonably accurate. But I prefer my single shot 12 gauge with caliber inserts....a lot smaller and more compact package..I can scavange 20 gauge, .410, .45, and .22lr.
I love this gun, it is ideal for many a situation that you may find yourself in when in survival. The idea of multiple ammunitions is great. Personally I am able to make ammunition, whether it be homemade paper 12 gauge rounds or rifle rounds, It wouldn't matter, so this gun intrests me. A super versatile all around hunting companion. I think if I had to choose I would choose this gun over any other multi purpose shooter
A lot of the cowboy preppers commenting here have visions of big gunfights, which is actually unlikely in most situations -- certainly where I'll be fortressing up. I have only one semi-auto rifle, an SKS with a few thousand rounds & the conversion to accept AK magazines. I doubt it will get much use except for deer, and I chose that since the AKs & similar platforms have such tight tolerances that I suspect they won't be reliable enough after a few years, especially with no gunsmiths or spare parts available, and possibly using old or scrounged ammo. Actually, I also have a couple of M-1 carbines (.30 cal), but again they are designed "loose and sloppy" for rough WW2 conditions, and with a few spare firing pins & springs should be user-fixable for decades (if their expensive ammo holds out). I stick to bolt-action rifles, revolvers (mostly with long barrels) and pump shotguns, which eliminates all the problems the guys with their expensive AR platforms are going to have, unless they have serious gunsmithing skills & a supply of spare parts. My primary "defend the farm" weapon is a target Anschutz (bolt action), scoped, in .22 magnum. I was able to gradually stock thousands of rounds (before the ammo drought happened) without breaking the budget. The .22 magnum will take most game easily -- even deer with a good head shot -- and in hollowpoint should stop any human. After 20+ years in the Army and almost that long as a gun dealer & instructor, my weapon choices were deliberately selected for longevity and toughness.
i have a h&r 410 or 45 long colt used as my boat rifle rowe down the rivers when i was young now i have a soft spot for it in the safe good gun for wat it was used for
I was reading most of the comments here and have to laugh a little. I`m in my sixties and have used fire arms since I was old enough to pick one up and hold it correctly. I have a savage over/under 22 mag/410 ga. break open, single shot rifle with a 3x9 power scope on it that I can light wooden matches with @ 100 yards. Any thing close would get a 410 slug or a 45cal. colt. I also have a couple of hand guns that shoot the same ammo, 22mag., 410ga., or 45cal. Colt.... I have never needed more than one shot..... Very cool video though, I`m thinking about getting a break down survival rifle that can be easily carried in a backpack also.
I'm 64 and I also have a .22/410ga rifle. I have heard about .45 cal being able to shoot out of a 410 ga barrel. I only have .45 ACP and I am a reloader. From your post I gather that it is 45 long Colt that fits a 410 ga, My .45 ACP does not fit into the chamer so I can't use it. Any insights you (or anyone else) could provide would be appreciated regarding 410ga. and 45 cal.
PeterDad60 I am a machinist and have been since 1970, But I am NOT a gun smith, so I can not do better than just give general advice! Yes, the 45 long Colt is what I can shoot from my Savage, over/under .410/22 mag. I have been thinking about taking my Rifle to a VERY experienced Gun smith to see if it would be worth while to put Rifling in the 410 barrel. My advice is to talk to several Gun Smiths before you make any decisions.
I have heard that smooth bores are accurate. I do not know how accurate they are past 50 feet, but I might buy some Long Colt 45 Cal. and have a go even with the smooth bore.
I like to keep in practice a bit and if you reload your own ammo then I think you should get some 45 Colt, just make sure you don`t get the new NON-reloadable cartridges that are (I think) an Aluminum alloy. The only reason I was thinking about looking into Rifling my 410 barrel is that I usually target practice at about 100 yards, up close like 50 to 100 feet probly would be fine.
silver togn I love target practice. I do a little almost everyday of my life. I'd like to be good enough to make the senior Olympic's one day. It's tough and the improvements come very slowly. I do indeed enjoy shooting so it's ok that I get better only a little at a time. I don't even keep score anymore. Rather I only count a dead center bulls eye. If on any bull I can't hit it dead center within 5 shoots I move on to the next bull. I'm pleased when I get 3 perfect bulls eyes in a row. I hope to be able to "clean" my targets one day.
man I have no idea. I can't see why not, they all go together the same way and mine fires 20g, .243, and .22lr on the same firing pin. I can't see why you wouldnt be able to. Rossi has good customer service too, so they should be able to answer you straight forward and get you set up with an order if you are able to.
Yep i got one it is only in 12 gauge and It kicks like a scared mule. I let a bud shoot it once and he said if he missed the first shot he figured the second one would hurt him more than what he was aiming at.
The H&R Topper took shotgun barrels only. The H&R Handi Rifle took both, probably because of a stronger action. The .22 rimfire and .58 muzzle loader that I have from them are on entirely different actions. Apparently Rossi believes that one action fits all.
@@donalddoty5768 - One reason a gun appears to kick too hard is if the buttstock is too short for you. An inexpensive slip on recoil pad will lengthen the stock, as well as soften the recoil.
all the haters just because it is afordable. best dang gun I own. brizilian made high quality. and it is acurate. with the hunting friends I have. most are into the more it cost the better it is. Not true when rossi rifles.
Just take one barrel and the same weight of rounds that the extra barrels weigh and you will be much better off. I'd love to see a guy with 5 different barrels and only able to find one caliber of ammo, and none of the barrels shoot it! I took the rear weight out of mine and replaced it with 20 subsonic rounds stuffed in there with some cloth to prevent the rounds from making noise so even if I loose all my ammo, the stock still holds 20 rounds.
hi and thanx for the vid. do you know if the rossi set is sold with caliber narrel inserts? i would think that as a survival option carring only two barrels would be best for the versatility .maybe a12 G with a 10G insert. aswell as a 9 mm with a .22 insert . any coments?
due to poor fit. the rifle will spray bullets all over. the one I got ahold of sprayed the .243 bulles around in a 2 foot circle at 200 yards. it looked like a shotgun pattern after a box of 20 fired. I lapped the action in with auto valve grinding compound and got it to shoot a 6 inch spread at 200 yards. sold it. I call this thing the "Defecta"
So you are telling me that a single shot rifle cant be a survival rifle? if thats the case, the circuit judge isnt a survival rifle. .45LC will easily drop a small black bear. Nothing more without them getting pissed and attacking you. The single shot rifle has been a staple in the survival community. This rifle has the ability to be anything you want pretty much, take small game like rabbit and birds, up to elk. The circuit judge won't knab you any big game without having to track it for miles
I know it's been a few years since you posted this video. But I was wondering if you knew the different caliber barrels you can get with this set? Also can I just order this from the factory? Awesome video thanks for sharing.
redneckmini14 my understanding is that you can buy any of the rossi/brazztech barrels and they should fit it. For a better answer i would contact rossi. thanks for watching
I think this is a cool gun since you have a variety of choices of ammo to use, but being single shot is a major turnoff for me and thus I wouldn't consider this. The most versatile gun, perhaps, but it's a far cry from being the best survival rifle. If I did purchase this, it would be an absolutely last resort weapon because if you are hunting and need a quick followup shot, you would go home hungry. If you would even consider this for self defense you'd better hope that you can make the shot count and get away quickly without needing another shot quickly. Great video though, I really enjoyed it!
PostmasterPrepper Was reading your comments. A) Most old school hunters I know (myself included) started with a single shot before they graduated to multi-round weapons. It DOES teach you to be sure of your shot and to not take "iffy" shots, counting on quantity rather than quality shooting. B) There are "chambering kits" for single shot firearms which allow you to use a variety of ammo with one firearm (and not need several barrels which is why I don't care for this particular weapon) which saves weight and trying to carry multiple weapons. This gives you the opportunity to hunt a variety of game with one weapon. Quite handy if hiking/camping/wilderness survival instances. C) If you need a self/home defense weapon, that's another bunch of apples all together. D) the reliability and ease of field maintenance/cleaning of a single shot vs. many weapons is ideal for those otherwise untrained in weapons systems such as a semi-auto or even bolt fed, muliti-round firearms. Just my opinion but I hope it gives you a moments pause to think about the versatility of single shots. Have a good day.
Interesting concept but I don't like the chamberings. I would go for a 12 gauge over 20 for availability, versatility and power. And why .243 instead of the more powerful .308 or the weaker but ubiquitous .223/5.56? Seems to compare w the Chiappa M6 X-caliber survival rifle which I would prefer except for the foam stock, short insert barrels (only 7") and high price tag ($700+?). Cool concept but not sure I go for either.
I got one a while back for my 7th birthday. mine was a 20 ga/.22 cal set. mine doesnt have the buttstock storage I dont believe, and definately not a rail on the top.
I really want to get a second barrel for my Rossi Tuffy in something like .20 Ga or .270 but I'm not 100% on if the tuffy is in the same line as this. It looks like the same reciever, barrel, and foward grip. It looks like the only difference is the stock
@@pedrorodriguez2914 my Tuffi I bought used as a snake gun since I live in the Mojave. It only came with a .410 barrel but I can readily get a .22 LR for it. My problem is I don't want to risk slapping a high power hunting cartridge onto it and risk destroying the reciever because Rossi decided that .410 and .22 are light enough rounds that they don't need super durable receivers.
@@Courier-Six I just finished doing some research at Rossi Arms,under barrels you'll find info.My model is not 'W' so it's dangerous to use rifle caliber barrel.👍🇺🇸🇵🇷🌴
Back when I was a kid in the 60s, Harrington and Richardson came out with their Topper model. It was basically a single barrel, break action shotgun with several available barrels in a number of rifle and shotgun calibers. Back when I was gunsmithing I did a modification of a .410 barrel for a topper. Cut it to 18 inches, bored it to .45, rifled it to .458 and chambered it for .45 long colt pistol ammo. The customer also had a 20 ga. barrel for it. Made a very useful combo. As far as I know he never had a problem with it. That was almost forty years ago.
Still the best review of a single shot take down. Clearly explained, no loud music, user friendly.
I bought one of these for my son back when he was 13. His is a 22lr & a 410. It has become the best camping gun we have ever had. The thing is just handy as heck, & well made. I think it was the best gun for teaching him how to shoot. Being a single shot he learned real fast that every shot counts. They are great guns !
I have the same. I got it used from a buddy, but the 410 was never used. After a awhile the .22 started misfiring a lot. It look like the pin wasn't hitting the rim good enough. I still use the shit outta the 410 though.
Like your attitude about learned the boy, but didn't care for the video. Too much bladder about nothing. What caliber are the barrels??
Respectfully

I think most people missed the point. This is not a combat rifle or a gun fight rifle,this is a easy to pack kit that allows you to fight your way out of the city with your AR. Then when you get to the bush you can conserve your 556 ammo and get game to survive.I have been around guns all my life and a 22,20g or 410 will kill anything in north america if you know how to place your shot.I have owned all sorts of guns and still seem to favor the 22,20g and 410 because of the ease of use.If you want to survive in Alaska then i would get a bigger gun...My thoughts,learn to fish,make traps and hunt small game. if you end up in a SHTF we will need to band together in order to live long enough to use any survival rifle you may think is the BEST.
The thing is in SHFT scenarios everyone heads for the bush stripping every smaller city or town till hitting ranches/farms stripping that heading to the most isolated areas battle hardened willing and crazy enough to burn down whole forests to take anyone fighting back.
This is a fine and versatile weapon. Another good option for a bit less money is a single shot H&R 12 gauge ($150) with adapters ($70). The nine inch rifled adapters slide into the 12 gauge barrel giving you the versatility of shooting a wide range of calibers. Adapters come in .22 caliber, 9mm, .38 & .45 caliber, .410 and 20 gauge. I think they're going to start making adapters for .357 & .44 mag.
Grandpa the Grey hell yea man, that is a great option as well. thanks for watching!
Every time I see a video like this I always read a response that refers to epic gun battles! The focus of this design is you can grab a hand full of different bullets and hit the bush and provide yourself food with a variety of different game. I sometimes hit the woods with my bow and my main form of protection (if you will) is a can of dog spray and a SOG tomahawk! I am a avid outdoors men and I have yet to have a epic gun battle, in most cases, I never even see footprints of any other people let alone invading North Koreans.
HELL YEA BRO! Gunfights EVERYWHERE! Thats what call of duty told me!
No but seriously most of the people saying that shit will be crying in a corner with pants full of their own feces hoping that someone will come rescue them.
Most of these so called SHTF warriors (and I use that term very loosely) have never been in the Military let alone a fire fight. If they had been they would know that against a well trained squad that has worked together they would not stand a chance. They will be the ones either dead or cowering in a corner someplace. IF and I say IF SHTF those that know how to provide themselves with food, water, shelter etc will be the ones to survive.
Mickey Authement Exactly. People make it seem like there will be huge gunbattles and they will live like its hollywood. people are funny
It's what I call the Walter Mitty syndrome. In my opinion (and I freely admit that I could be wrong), if your SHTF involves daily combat, then you have utterly failed at choosing a BOL. Better hope it's not TEOTWAWKI, because if it is and you're "surviving" like a soldier in battle, you ain't gonna survive long.

I'm in my sixties, and this reminds me of my old Cooey single shot 410 gauge that i use for a deer rifle with 44-40 shells with a 18 in barrel. I also have a 16 gauge with a 32 in barrel that I use for upland birding. Guarantee both of my American made Winchester Cooey cost one hell of a lot less than them, and they are wooden stock with a browned steel receiver and barrels.
... I made many of these in 2005 at Amadeu Rossi Brasil, winchester 270
I enjoy a youth .22lr of this rifle with my kids. Thank you for your work. I also miss the model 462 revolver I had. Great products.
I have one that was gifted to me ages ago by a cousin who purchased it as a home defense gun and in reality only shot it maybe once or twice when he first bought it. The thing was mint for it’s age and despite being a pretty bland gun and the single shot .22 secondary barrel being useless to me, it holds charm! I never used it except once myself maybe ten years ago and it just sat in storage all it’s life. These past few months, I set it up w/ a red dot and one of those shell strings in order to compensate for it’s biggest disadvantage which is if a 2nd shot is needed. I’m probably going to continue on carrying it around the farm as the “rugged, goes everywhere” gun, but just discovered those rifle adapters that are perfect for single shot .12 guages supposedly. In your experience from crafting them, do you feel this gun is powerful enough to handle a .45-70, .30-06, or .30-30 as a regular thing? Someone told me that in reality, single shots have a major advantage to all others due to getting to put “all it’s might and power”😂 into one shot at it’s own ease?
These are a copy and you can buy over under ones or with 3 seperat barrels and a 4th ammo holding barrell compartment which is spring powered
This isn't a exact 270 it's a survival copy
@@portugal5698 people who don't live on they're own land don't need guns for home defense they just need a mini pistol for rented home defense and homes that aren't on theyre own private land, it's a right to be able to protect livestock eitha gun from other animals and only to attack intruders if they enter your home, the right of passage law comes into place so if your land isn't 100 percent Lisenced as as private business or farm
I recently added the Rossi Trifecta to my arsenal. I have the .22 Lr, 20 gauge,and the .243 barrels. Very handy little weapon,and a very versatile addition to any prepper's/survivalist's arsenal.
Why can’t I find this gun did they stop making it
@@colton72395 same here, at one time my local Walmart had them.. seen one at a pawn shop last year and kicking myself in the ass for passing it up
To me a survival rifle should be a 22 or 22 magnum. If things were to get really bad either of those rimfires would allow someone to carry much larger numbers of ammo with which to harvest game.
A rimfire caliber would be better so you can reload it. 223.
Maybe a .22 PPC.
I own a set. .22LR, .243 REM and 20 gauge. The Rossi rifles are well made and are durable.
243 Remington ???
@@jozefhorvat3625 I think they meant .243 win
What is the .243 REM? I have never heard of it. Varminting and birdshot for the other two? I am very curious.
These are great little guns; I had one with the .22 and the 20gage barrel. I had no complains; the 20 kicked like heck with buck shot or slugs and the slugs went out in to space; no way to aim them; the .22 was not threaded; I traded it off. If they made one with a .22 threaded barrel and open sights on the shot gun barrel I would buy one. However, you guys who think you are going to live off the land when the SHTF are dreaming. What you are going to need then is something to defend your self from the predators that are hunting you, eh?
+PawneeStrider74a the 20 one does kick really hard, I wish the stock was just a little heavier to help with that.
Getting the 12 gauge barrel will allow you to use all the sub caliber adapters from either chiappa or short lane , then you could get a few other barrels for rifle rounds like 5.56mm & any others would make this the most versatile platform for SHTF . Alot nicer than my 12 gauge hatfeild, but I went the inexpensive route. Good video & thank you for sharing .
Back again! My local pawn shop had a two barrel set for this breakdown rifle/ shotgun…22LR and .410 barrels, only slightly used so I bought it. Glad to look over this video again as I did not remember that the stock and forearm are hollow. Will pack them full of goodies! Spare knife, ferro rod, rope cleaning kit, etc.! Thanks for this video!
man i can’t seem to find any
what was the price
@@how8981 finding the set was a fluke. I have 3 pawn shops I check every 3 months and that is how I came across it. Price I think was around $120 for the set, with the original carry case. I painted the barrels and stock in a grass camouflage pattern. I do not like black as it sticks out in the woods!
Now with it set up, and in its camo painted carry case, it resides in the back of my SUV, just in case I have to bailout some time, this gun and my .380 Taurus semi-auto will go with me! The butt has fire starter kit, cleaner kit, bank line, etc. in it. With my waterproof camo poncho and a couple of candy bars, I can go far by foot if need be. Even room for a Mylar blanket or wrap!
I carry a Hatfield 410 in my 4X4 truck for a survival tool. I have a 10 inch long barrel insert in 9mm for shooting game. I drilled out the wood stock to carry the 9 mm insert barrel in it and used only 1 butt plate screw for access.. Also drilled out my but stock to carry spare ammo in 410 and 9mm. Plus a side stock shell holder.
Wish Hatfield would produce a plastic stock like this Rossie so I could carry several barrel inserts to make it a truly versatile survival rifle.
That weight in the stock looks like it could be replaced with a 22 barrel adapter insert for 410`s.
That Rossie is nice but looks heavy with all 4 barrels along for the ride.
MIAMI - Rossi Firearms, the leading manufacturer of youth-sized long guns, introduces its newest version of the award-winning Trifecta. Offering three guns in one, the system originally included easily interchangeable .243 Winchester .22 Long Rifle, and 20-gauge barrels. Now Rossi offers more versatility and knock-down power with the option of choosing either a .243 or .44 Magnum barrel.
Keep the .22 I use a pellet for rats.
EMERALD451 by u
I love my Rossi trifecta. I store a multi tool, small flashlight and paracord in the butt stock. The old two piece cheap style scope mounts that use one Allen screw in the middle are perfect for mounting these cheap rechargeable flashlights on any barell from .22 -12 ga. They also don't cover the flood light part of the light. The strobe mode is blinding and it's a better light than the one I bought at Rural King with the laser made in it. I also removed the loop and slightly drilled out the studs for the sling mount so I can use a comfortable sling with a thumb loop like I prefer. The sling that detaches from the cary bag works fine for short distances but is not wide or padded. The youth models are a great first gun for children and you get many choices of barells.
Crazy. My .50 cal cva wolf muzzle loader looks almost like an identical clone to this one. I've actually considered using it as my shtf gun because it breaks down so easily and how versatile it is.
I have the blued version with 20g, .243, and .22LR...you'll want to use powdered graphite, like they use for locks, as dry lubrication...for rust prevention I use tallow, renewable in the "woods"...the metal rod in the butstock is barrel counter-weight...unless you use high rings, you won't be using the cheek piece... the "iron sites" don't have enough windage adjustment so you will want to consider optics...unless you remove the optics from the barrels they won't all fit into the carrying case...this is a great option, other than sight in I haven't used the .22, as my savage mark II has a WAY better trigger, I got a doe last year with the .243 but with the heavy trigger I mostly use the 20g as it's a point and mash...I may see if a gunsmith could work the trigger to break at a lighter pull weight since it's a real pleasure to carry all day, and I'm not sorry in the least that I bought it...hope this helps some...
Good little utility gun, decent trigger & soaks up the recoil well(at least on my .243/12g combo). Barrels available from .22lr to 45-70 govt rifle & .410 to 12g 3in mod(as far as I know). My only knock is on the plastic open sights, the rear adjustments leave a little to be desired & it didn't take me long to bust the fronts(one TIMBER & it was meatball surgery with some Gorilla glue). I don't have the 4 barrel case, but the it breaks down well with the 2 barrel case. If you know how to hunt it'll score you some mall ninja jerky, let their steaming remains lead you on which way not to go...
I long ago saw the advantages of one receiver and multiple barrels, but that is limited by the one shot restriction. Yes I own a TC Contender and a Pro Hunter. I have kicked myself for not buying an H&R back in the 1970's when they were available at reasonable prices.
A quick check on-line shows these are hard to find anywhere.
Had one of these as my first gun when I was 8, I still have it. Sorta mad because the sights on my 22lr barrel broke off.
This was interesting and educational. I did not know that Rossi made such a thing. The case would interest me IF it would take barrels with scopes on them, so they would not have to be rezeroed each time the scope was put back. I have a H&R Handi Rifle and the major differences are it has a wood stock (NOT plastic) and barrels were not sold separately. The action had to be returned to the factory to be fitted. I liked that. I have a pair of bull barrels in .223 & .308, a pair of standard barrels in .22 Hornet & .30-30 and a separate standard barrel in .44 Magnum. I am so pleased that I got them while they were still available. So my only problem now is figuring out what to do about a case.
H&R 12ga single shot with a black powder "muzzleloader" adapter. Throw in a survival stock/forend combo holding the adapter, wads and some shot, a firestarter, a small multi tool, a compass, a micro map, and a mylar blanket. You're set for a tough adaptable gun. Everything I listed, plus the gun, cost less than $200 total.
After surgery tomorrow I might be able to go pick one up if I can stay awake and walk😂😄😂
Bought one of these for my kids. Regardless of the neglect bs on here..... my kids watched the video. Very informative for them. Thanks.
I believe that in an economic crisis or some other type of major event to where ammunition becomes an issue that having a multi-chambered weapon would be advantageous solely for the purpose of being able to scavenge ammo of different caliber and gauge and it still be useful. especially in a situation where ones home or primary location and supplies are seized or compromised.
I have a 1915 STEVENS FAVORITE TAKEDOWN 22 RIFLE which I have used for years. I think the concept is very similar, except for the shotgun barrel being exchangeable. I believe my Stevens was also interchangeable with the 25 rimfire back in the day. If course a 25 rimfire cartridge would be difficult and expensive to find today.
it's not only pretty but it's INCREDIBLY useful!
Still like my Savage 24D,.22 WRM ON TOP, 20GA ON BOTTOM. I’ve carried that since 1976. Love it!
Thomas Knight wish I still had my savage not sure if it was the 24d but was 223/20g. I reckon it would have been better if it was 6mm Rem or 6.5mm mauser. Rossi is overpriced for a pack rifle. too much hassle having 3 barrels.
i have a 24c .22 over 20 gauge, i love it would never sell it. the new ones savage came out with are cheap. still want the m6. hard to find though.
Craig neuman I wanted a .22 or over .410 , but my now ex-wife screwed up and bought the .22 mag over 20 ga for Christmas. Best screwup of our marriage!
@@thomasknight9896 Great combo. Good for anything from rabbit to deer.
If I could only have one Gun it would be a Ruger 10-22. You can hunt with it, Defend yourself with it and carry hundreds of rounds of ammo in your pocket.
Why? They are really not that accurate, and the trigger pull is stiff. Thompson Contender makes a version of the 10/22 ,and it way more accurate, and the trigger pull is great! Gun weighs 5lbs super lighter than the Marlin, or the Ruger.
@@minuteman5369 his comments was 6 years ago technology has finally advanced the ruger does have A Lot of accessories I do want a tc tho
I prefer my older Model Marlin 60s. The accuracy is tops due to microgrooved barrel, sumpthin Ruger 10-22 can only wish for!
Good!
И все таки американцы молодцы!
Первый раз вижу такой арсенал на случаи на медведя на белку на спорт. Привет из Киргизии.
I would like the .22 barrel, .45, 410 and 30.06
I've been looking for a survival gun just like this one. I will be looking up their web site hear shortly to see if they have what I need, THANK YOU for this video it helped a lot.
That's a great video im from Newyork living in Texas now so this is a plus
rossi did not give everyone a chance to purchase this gun before they quit making it . damn !
My Rossi came with a 20 gauge shotgun barrel, and a 30-06 rifle barrel with a scope. Both are a blast to shoot. My version has a solid wood stock, and no storage space. I might want to look at one of these close up.
I'll keep my 12ga double barrel coach gun and the set of 10 Chiappa inserts. 7" long rifled for lots of calibers. That is a survival weapon...
If you need a 22 to eliminate pests in a suburban environment, a Rossi 22 paired with Aguila primer only 22 LR cartridge will do the job. Neighbors won't recognize it as a gunshot, quieter than a handclap. Rats, starlings, house sparrows inside 25 feet are no problem. Thats what I got the gun for and is all I use it for. Although I do love single shot rifles, this doesn't begin to compare with the 22/410 Savage Over/Under I had as a boy. This gun would be better than throwing rocks for other purposes I suppose, or if this was all you could afford. The plastic sights are junk at any distance, they won't stay in adjustment and the plastic deforms. Put a red dot or a scope on it. Since the Aguila Super Colibri won't cycle in any sort of automatic, a single shot is the perfect rifle to shoot it from. I think the 22 barrel is probably accurate enough out to 100 yards but only if you don't have anything better.
inside 25 fet ,,,, at 25 feet , throw stones , you dont need a 22
Get the TNW Aero swap out butt stock and grip for better quality and it is a beast. I have it from 22 to 9mm, 357, 45acp and 10mm. I think they have more but I run a Vortex spitfire and it is flawless, crazy accurate, and is an easy light low recoil simple breakdown gun. I have all of these breakdown types as I put them in all cars boats houses etc. the 10mm Aero Survival rifle is my favorite.
That's a neat little rifle/shotgun combo. Excellent survival type firearm.
my question is...... what calibers do the barrels come in, or what cal's are available?
Mine has a 22lr, 20 gauge,amd a .243 barrels. I'm impressed with the little weapon. I have 300 bucks invested in it,and I doubt I could do any better choosing a "survival rifle". I have numerous other weapons for potential combat situations...But the versatility and weight of this weapon makes it an ideal choice for a prepper.
@@royjohnson7211 thought when I got my son's years ago 223 for rifle but I could be wrong .perfect first gun for training also .
@@danieltown348 ,purely a personal decision. I'm partial to my little Rossi Trifecta,because it's light and very versatile.
@@royjohnson7211 the one I got for my son was great cheap and safe. and well built . his is older model . has a very short stock . but I can still shot fine with it. we have a farm up north and many ppl bring kids over for me to teach . most are family .and that's the gun I use.
@@royjohnson7211 it is a good survivor set . one thing is variety .small not to heavy . kicks like a mule. but very accurate. my reason for buy was so my son and friends could all shot. just about all my rifles are semi automatic. and the 22 jamb all the time .wanted a single shot
fihing line, hooks, band-aides, a tiny tube of antibiotic ointment. all of that would fit in those forend compartments.
I own this in .22 and .410 and it’s worked great for me I actually didn’t even know you could get more barrels for it Haha
got one for my son years ago. most of my guns where semi auto. and when let young adults shot the semi auto jam. 22 .theses are single shot very accurate . .and it is very compact. but being small it does kick hard with shotgun. his was a 20 gauge. it is a good gun . very safe training gun. worth every penny to get semi auto out of there hands
GunsAndAccessories , I have a single barrel 12 gauge and the for-end and the buttstock are chocked full of gear.I spray painted mine camo
It has a .50cal muzzle loader...that is freaking AWESOME.
Just get a double barrel 12 gauge with the savage four-tenner barrel adapters as well as a handful of barrel adaptors on eBay for multi calibers. That way you can always have 1 shell of 00 buck or a slug in there but also run any other caliber you can imagine. Problem with single barrel break opens is the fact they are single barrel. Would rather have a backup shot if a brown bear was charging my way.
I prefer H&R or N.E.F due to their transfer bar safety.
ANY single shot 12 ga. or 20 ga. can be equipped with rifled chamber adapters to fire .22, .38/357M & .44 Mag. respectively.
I'll put it on my "to do" list which is getting longer everyday :)
Did you get it done? ✔️?
@@jameyjacade28 No, old age got in my way :)
@@MyHollowpoint lol I hear ya brother, that pesky old age always getting the way. Anyways have a blessed day and thanks for the reply
@@MyHollowpoint bruh
I understand the purpose of having various caliber barrels, and this set up should be reasonably accurate. But I prefer my single shot 12 gauge with caliber inserts....a lot smaller and more compact package..I can scavange 20 gauge, .410, .45, and .22lr.
I love this gun, it is ideal for many a situation that you may find yourself in when in survival. The idea of multiple ammunitions is great.
Personally I am able to make ammunition, whether it be homemade paper 12 gauge rounds or rifle rounds, It wouldn't matter, so this gun intrests me.
A super versatile all around hunting companion.
I think if I had to choose I would choose this gun over any other multi purpose shooter
Empty butt stock good for storage of fire starters , fisk hooks & line ,plus ammo
A lot of the cowboy preppers commenting here have visions of big gunfights, which is actually unlikely in most situations -- certainly where I'll be fortressing up.
I have only one semi-auto rifle, an SKS with a few thousand rounds & the conversion to accept AK magazines. I doubt it will get much use except for deer, and I chose that since the AKs & similar platforms have such tight tolerances that I suspect they won't be reliable enough after a few years, especially with no gunsmiths or spare parts available, and possibly using old or scrounged ammo.
Actually, I also have a couple of M-1 carbines (.30 cal), but again they are designed "loose and sloppy" for rough WW2 conditions, and with a few spare firing pins & springs should be user-fixable for decades (if their expensive ammo holds out).
I stick to bolt-action rifles, revolvers (mostly with long barrels) and pump shotguns, which eliminates all the problems the guys with their expensive AR platforms are going to have, unless they have serious gunsmithing skills & a supply of spare parts. My primary "defend the farm" weapon is a target Anschutz (bolt action), scoped, in .22 magnum. I was able to gradually stock thousands of rounds (before the ammo drought happened) without breaking the budget. The .22 magnum will take most game easily -- even deer with a good head shot -- and in hollowpoint should stop any human.
After 20+ years in the Army and almost that long as a gun dealer & instructor, my weapon choices were deliberately selected for longevity and toughness.
That's excellent horse sense
If horse sense means bull sense then chizelhead's onto something,wtf are you talking about: One word, Nam.
J Bsharah you say an AK has tight tolerences ??
CMon Man, you obviously don't know squat about firearms

i have a h&r 410 or 45 long colt used as my boat rifle rowe down the rivers when i was young now i have a soft spot for it in the safe good gun for wat it was used for
I was reading most of the comments here and have to laugh a little. I`m in my sixties and have used fire arms since I was old enough to pick one up and hold it correctly. I have a savage over/under 22 mag/410 ga. break open, single shot rifle with a 3x9 power scope on it that I can light wooden matches with @ 100 yards. Any thing close would get a 410 slug or a 45cal. colt. I also have a couple of hand guns that shoot the same ammo, 22mag., 410ga., or 45cal. Colt.... I have never needed more than one shot.....
Very cool video though, I`m thinking about getting a break down survival rifle that can be easily carried in a backpack also.
I'm 64 and I also have a .22/410ga rifle. I have heard about .45 cal being able to shoot out of a 410 ga barrel. I only have .45 ACP and I am a reloader. From your post I gather that it is 45 long Colt that fits a 410 ga, My .45 ACP does not fit into the chamer so I can't use it. Any insights you (or anyone else) could provide would be appreciated regarding 410ga. and 45 cal.
PeterDad60
I am a machinist and have been since 1970, But I am NOT a gun smith, so I can not do better than just give general advice! Yes, the 45 long Colt is what I can shoot from my Savage, over/under .410/22 mag. I have been thinking about taking my Rifle to a VERY experienced Gun smith to see if it would be worth while to put Rifling in the 410 barrel. My advice is to talk to several Gun Smiths before you make any decisions.
I have heard that smooth bores are accurate. I do not know how accurate they are past 50 feet, but I might buy some Long Colt 45 Cal. and have a go even with the smooth bore.
I like to keep in practice a bit and if you reload your own ammo then I think you should get some 45 Colt, just make sure you don`t get the new NON-reloadable cartridges that are (I think) an Aluminum alloy.
The only reason I was thinking about looking into Rifling my 410 barrel is that I usually target practice at about 100 yards, up close like 50 to 100 feet probly would be fine.
silver togn I love target practice. I do a little almost everyday of my life. I'd like to be good enough to make the senior Olympic's one day. It's tough and the improvements come very slowly. I do indeed enjoy shooting so it's ok that I get better only a little at a time. I don't even keep score anymore. Rather I only count a dead center bulls eye. If on any bull I can't hit it dead center within 5 shoots I move on to the next bull. I'm pleased when I get 3 perfect bulls eyes in a row. I hope to be able to "clean" my targets one day.
man I have no idea. I can't see why not, they all go together the same way and mine fires 20g, .243, and .22lr on the same firing pin. I can't see why you wouldnt be able to. Rossi has good customer service too, so they should be able to answer you straight forward and get you set up with an order if you are able to.
Great gun. whats the cost?
wow ! this is by far the best survival rifle i have ever seen ! great video ! just subbed !
OMG ! This is a copy of the old H&R "Topper" series, which also offered rifle & shotgun barrels of different calibers / gauges !
I have one in great shape with the 280 barrel looking for other barrels
Yep i got one it is only in 12 gauge and It kicks like a scared mule. I let a bud shoot it once and he said if he missed the first shot he figured the second one would hurt him more than what he was aiming at.
The H&R Topper took shotgun barrels only. The H&R Handi Rifle took both, probably because of a stronger action. The .22 rimfire and .58 muzzle loader that I have from them are on entirely different actions. Apparently Rossi believes that one action fits all.
@@donalddoty5768 - One reason a gun appears to kick too hard is if the buttstock is too short for you. An inexpensive slip on recoil pad will lengthen the stock, as well as soften the recoil.
How is it better and more versatile than the Thompson contender?
Very ecconomical, nice package , I hope to own, if my financial advisor OK's it , I'll just make it her birthday gift .....
What caliber barrels can u buy for the rifle
In the storage compartment, a good idea is to keep a pair of underpants. Just in case you come across an angry bear !
If you did strip the screw holes in the stock just fill the holes with epoxy and drill/tap them.
all the haters just because it is afordable. best dang gun I own. brizilian made high quality. and it is acurate. with the hunting friends I have. most are into the more it cost the better it is. Not true when rossi rifles.
Like most things in life. The simpler the better
Thanks I liked video and the idea of interchangeable barrels
I had a 17 HMR & 12 ga in AK good gun .
Nice, like it... Very versatile...
My Dad gave me one as a gift, it's a great plinker!
Very! Very! Cool man,love the .243
I used to carry one of these until I got caught in a pickle….a survival rifle needs to be a repeater in this day and age. No ways around it
Just take one barrel and the same weight of rounds that the extra barrels weigh and you will be much better off.
I'd love to see a guy with 5 different barrels and only able to find one caliber of ammo, and none of the barrels shoot it!
I took the rear weight out of mine and replaced it with 20 subsonic rounds stuffed in there with some cloth to prevent the rounds from making noise so even if I loose all my ammo, the stock still holds 20 rounds.
What gun is this and where do you buy it? Also what other multi barrel guns may be available and your rate for usefulness and ammo availability?
Very good option
Pretty cool rifle, make sure you have a spare firing pin tho trust me on this
.22 / 12g / 5.56 and 9mm para would be my choices.
2 butt plugs for the stock hole? No, wait! 2 stock plugs for the butt hole. What the...What are those things called again?
Dave hahaha
"Flimsy rubber" butt plugs. Or "flimsies", for short.
Google is your friend. I'm sure you'll figure it out. Or figure something out.
Dave it's actually called a butstock
hi and thanx for the vid. do you know if the rossi set is sold with caliber narrel inserts? i would think that as a survival option carring only two barrels would be best for the versatility .maybe a12 G with a 10G insert. aswell as a 9 mm with a .22 insert . any coments?
Looks like a great firearm what did it cost and what are the calibers came with it
What are the four barrels chambered all I herd was 12 gauge and 50 cal.?, I love the gun!. We have a rossi 22 lever action real nice rifle!.
due to poor fit. the rifle will spray bullets all over. the one I got ahold of sprayed the .243 bulles around in a 2 foot circle at 200 yards. it looked like a shotgun pattern after a box of 20 fired. I lapped the action in with auto valve grinding compound and got it to shoot a 6 inch spread at 200 yards. sold it. I call this thing the "Defecta"
So you are telling me that a single shot rifle cant be a survival rifle? if thats the case, the circuit judge isnt a survival rifle. .45LC will easily drop a small black bear. Nothing more without them getting pissed and attacking you.
The single shot rifle has been a staple in the survival community. This rifle has the ability to be anything you want pretty much, take small game like rabbit and birds, up to elk. The circuit judge won't knab you any big game without having to track it for miles
I know it's been a few years since you posted this video. But I was wondering if you knew the different caliber barrels you can get with this set? Also can I just order this from the factory? Awesome video thanks for sharing.
r all of the barrels interchangeable with this rifle/shotgun? or do u have to buy them in sets that will fit certain barrels?
redneckmini14 my understanding is that you can buy any of the rossi/brazztech barrels and they should fit it. For a better answer i would contact rossi. thanks for watching
Is this any better than the rossi wizard cos they are infamous for bullet extraction failure. I love the idea....
I have the tirfecter love it i have a 3x9 scope for the 243 and a 4 power sport view for the 22 the only thing i don't care for is the front site
Any idea on where to get a replacement rear sight for this rifle? My son busted his and I’m having the hardest time finding one.
Nice 👍👍👍
Have sav 24 22mag 20ga circuit judge 45lc 410 plus many others but those two would be good
I think this is a cool gun since you have a variety of choices of ammo to use, but being single shot is a major turnoff for me and thus I wouldn't consider this. The most versatile gun, perhaps, but it's a far cry from being the best survival rifle. If I did purchase this, it would be an absolutely last resort weapon because if you are hunting and need a quick followup shot, you would go home hungry. If you would even consider this for self defense you'd better hope that you can make the shot count and get away quickly without needing another shot quickly. Great video though, I really enjoyed it!

Was reading your comments. A) Most old school hunters I know (myself included) started with a single shot before they graduated to multi-round weapons. It DOES teach you to be sure of your shot and to not take "iffy" shots, counting on quantity rather than quality shooting. B) There are "chambering kits" for single shot firearms which allow you to use a variety of ammo with one firearm (and not need several barrels which is why I don't care for this particular weapon) which saves weight and trying to carry multiple weapons. This gives you the opportunity to hunt a variety of game with one weapon. Quite handy if hiking/camping/wilderness survival instances. C) If you need a self/home defense weapon, that's another bunch of apples all together. D) the reliability and ease of field maintenance/cleaning of a single shot vs. many weapons is ideal for those otherwise untrained in weapons systems such as a semi-auto or even bolt fed, muliti-round firearms. Just my opinion but I hope it gives you a moments pause to think about the versatility of single shots. Have a good day.
cool, thanks
why doesn't ROSSI make the nickle plated rifles anymore ?
Lovely gun
Interesting concept but I don't like the chamberings. I would go for a 12 gauge over 20 for availability, versatility and power. And why .243 instead of the more powerful .308 or the weaker but ubiquitous .223/5.56? Seems to compare w the Chiappa M6 X-caliber survival rifle which I would prefer except for the foam stock, short insert barrels (only 7") and high price tag ($700+?). Cool concept but not sure I go for either.
I got one a while back for my 7th birthday. mine was a 20 ga/.22 cal set. mine doesnt have the buttstock storage I dont believe, and definately not a rail on the top.
Ill stick with my AR-7 U.S. Henry Survival Rifle. I have 2 and i use one for target shooting. and one for my bug-out bag.
It’s a very accurate shooter
I really want to get a second barrel for my Rossi Tuffy in something like .20 Ga or .270 but I'm not 100% on if the tuffy is in the same line as this. It looks like the same reciever, barrel, and foward grip. It looks like the only difference is the stock
My set is .22 and 20ga. works fine.Polymer stock.
@@pedrorodriguez2914 my Tuffi I bought used as a snake gun since I live in the Mojave. It only came with a .410 barrel but I can readily get a .22 LR for it. My problem is I don't want to risk slapping a high power hunting cartridge onto it and risk destroying the reciever because Rossi decided that .410 and .22 are light enough rounds that they don't need super durable receivers.
@@Courier-Six I just finished doing some research at Rossi Arms,under barrels you'll find info.My model is not 'W' so it's dangerous to use rifle caliber barrel.👍🇺🇸🇵🇷🌴
@@pedrorodriguez2914 figured but it doesn't hurt to ask given how similar the two models are. Near carbon copies
