Affordable, Light, Convenient – The New Rossi Poly Tuffy Survival Rifle
Luke Cuenco 12.20.23
The new Rossi Poly Tuffy survival rifle is a neat take on the survival rifle concept. While a lot of survival rifles are chambered in a combination of calibers, or the relatively anemic but versatile 22lr rimfire cartridge, the Rossi Poly Tuffy uses a carbon steel 410 bore with a 3″ chamber that can also accept 45 Colt ammunition to further extend the range of this useful and lightweight rifle. The rifle also comes standard with a top mounted Picatinny rail, which means that the whole package can still be quite compact and require minimal setup when combined with its breakdown features.

Affordable, Light, Convenient – The New Rossi Poly Tuffy Survival Rifle
Essentials only. When the only thing that matters is getting it done, you can count on the Rossi Survival Rifle. Designed to be lightweight, accurate, and tough as nails, the only thing more durable than the Survival Rifle is a rock. Chambered for 3-inch 410 bore and the potent 45 Colt, the Survival Rifle will take care of small game, fill a pot with meat, or take down dangerous predators with full power 45 Colt. It also completes takes down, fitting inside a backpack or rucksack for easy transportation.
The Poly Tuffy Survival Rifle can be quickly and easily broken down for easy transportation, fitting into smaller spaces for more convenient transportation or stowage. The rifle weighs in at 51.20 Oz unloaded, meaning it weighs about as much as a fully loaded handgun. With an MSRP of $371 the rifle will likely find a lower street price as Rossi products often do. For more information, you can check out the full spec sheet at HERE.
Built on the same tough-as-nails action as the Rossi Brawler pistol, the Survival Rifle is a 16-inch carbine with a hammer-forged barrel that accepts either 45 Colt or up to 3-inch 410 bore shotshells. The single-action trigger is crisp and breaks to the rear with minimal stacking, allowing shooters to place that all-important single shot exactly where they want it.
Additionally, the Survival Rifle features a polymer stock that holds additional ammunition, allowing outdoors enthusiasts to have plenty of extra ammo within reach. The automatic ejectors kick spent hulls and shells free of the gun with authority so that if you do need to reload, you can do it efficiently.
