not familiar with the Rossi, but I would think someone would make a weaver style base that would match up with the existing screw holes. If not, you could probably get one made at a machine shop. Try to google it.

I have a rossi with a Red Dot. Just buy a weaver style mount and you should be in business.

Just looked at one in a gun store and the owner told me that it was tapped for a Weaver mount.

The mount you need is a weaver mount for a thompson center. You can get them at most good sport shops. I just bought one for 13.50

What's everybody paying for their Rossi? In particular the Rossi with 3 barrels. (22, 410 and 243)

Weaver makes one piece bases that are not drilled yet. Just buy one of these bases, and drill your own holes to match it up to your receiver. After it's fitted, put the ring on the base and mark where your cross slot needs to be, and then drill that. I would also never go back to that gun shop again! Drilling a receiver that's already drilled and tapped just to acomodate a scope base is just dumb when you can make your own bases very easily.
