Our History

The Rossi revolution of firearm design and manufacturing started with the founding of the company in 1889 by Amadeo Rossi. Over the last 131 years, the Rossi brand represents a piece of firearm history and a tradition of excellence.
Over the years, firearms bearing the Rossi name have led the way in design and engineering, all the while remaining an affordable product without any sacrifice to quality.
In December of 1997 BrazTech International L.C. was created as the exclusive importer of Rossi firearms in North America.
Previously, Rossi firearms were distributed by Interarms of Alexandria, Virginia. Rossi manufactures its classic rifles in a plant in Sao Leopoldo, Brazil and will continue operations there, selling many firearms outside the United States and North America.
Today’s Rossi is still run by the same family and they put the same dedication and innovation into every firearm. At Rossi, it is more than just building guns... it is a family’s history and tradition.
