Key markings include the Rossi logo followed by ROSSI RB17 and the serial number 7CB069036T on the left side of the receiver. The right side of the barrel is marked ROSSI MODEL RB17 .17HMR – MADE IN BRAZIL BY CBC BRAZTECH INTERNATIONAL, BAINBRIDGE, GA. This lot includes one detachable box magazine with a green follower.

Condition report:
The metal surfaces retain a strong blued finish with minor scattered handling marks and surface dust. The polymer stock is in good condition with no visible cracks, showing light scuffs and typical handling wear to the textured grip areas. The Bushnell Banner 2 optic has clear lenses and a functional reticle, though the mounting hardware exhibits significant residue from a previous adhesive application. The bore is bright with well-defined rifling. The bolt action appears to function smoothly, and the magazine seats correctly.
