Been looking to add another 22LR to the rotation. I currently have a Marlin 39AS, Ruger Mark II and a Ruger Super Six in stainless and always wanted a pump action 22 (plus it may be the only caliber I can afford to shoot when 22LR ammo actually gets in stock again). Anyway I know some got these new a few years ago for a little over $200. Thanks.
Fair price for Taurus or Rossi 62 Pump 22

I saw one for 300 a couple months ago locally. Best price I had seen in a while. I think they're all used at this point. I think they were dropped a couple years ago.
Came across another Rossi 62. Checked out gunbroker on guns selling and sold and appears prices are all over the place including nice stainless/nickel ones varying in prices.
Not sure what a fair price is...really don't need one but thought it would be fun shooting along side my marlin 39A levergun.

Are you looking at the Rossi because you want something newer than an old Winchester or Remington? About a year and a half ago I bought a Win Model 62 and Rem Gallery Special locally for $400 each. Really enjoy shooting the older rifles. Seems like I've seen model 62 shooters selling in $400-$500 range on internet.
Just looking for any pump 22LR ; thought it would be fun to shoot with my kids. I am guessing this pump 22LR are sought after, seeing some sell for 300 and less and some for 400 and over depending. Not looking to spend a lot of $.

Prices seem to be somewhat regional. But if it helps I got my Rossi 62 about two years ago for $240. It was in one of the LGS's as a consignment. It was in pristine shape and my wallet almost set my jeans on fire jumping out into my hands to pay for it before anyone else saw it.
If you do find one they ARE a superb shooting gun. Mine is silly accurate for me despite using the stock sights so far.
The old Winchesters seem to be highly collectable and carry prices in line with that demand. The Remington 12 must be more common or not as shiney in the collectors' eyes as they seem to be well down.
Of course that was then and this is now. With the current hoarding/panicing over guns in the US I'm sure prices are all over the place. But if you can score a decent Remington 12 you WILL have a great time with it. I've got one of those too that came to me with an old Tasco rimfire scope. I can easily shoot quarter size groups at 50 yards bench rested. And this is on a rifle which I only learned a few months ago had its Centennial in 2012.

Current pump Henrys are about $450, new.
A Taurus or Rossi M62 on Gunbroker will be about the same price range.
I have a Taurus M62 carbine that I love, as well as 3 Taurus M73s that I love even more. If I found an M62/M72 locally for under $500, I'd buy it ASAP. I'm talking me, and I already have a bunch Good luck finding one.

I believe the original feed design only allows a specific cartridge length. Unlike the Marlin 39 that has a seperate cartridge stop tripped by the cartridge carrier that allows S, L and LR, the Browning designed Winchester pump uses the cartridge carrier as the magazine stop. There were specific .22 short gallery models, .22 long rifle hunting models.
I have a Taurus pump in .22 WMR magnum and it will not feed the .22 WRF. I paid $204 for mine new, discount for shop wear, and find them listed at auction sites selling for $340 to $400.
It does have the "slam fire" feature: if you hold the trigger down as you pump the action, it will fire as soon as the bolt goes into locked position. Some folks are aware of this, a feature with early models of the Ithaca 37 pump shotgun (but not all variation of the Ithaca 37 or copies of the Ithaca). Most pump rifles and shotguns have a trigger disconnect and users need to be aware of the difference. I impersonated Lucas McCain once with mine for funsies at the farm: accuracy rapidly pumping slam-fire mode is poor.

In '82, my dad bought a little rossi pump for $75. First rifle I ever shot. Don't know what they go for today.
