ROSSI RIFLES

[diver dan]

Hi guys, Looking at buying a ROSSI LEVER GUN. Do any of you shoot a ROSSI LEVER ? Looking in particular at a 44mag rifle. I have read some reviews , but I would like to hear from people I trust. THANKS

I like mine in 44 mag octagon 24" barrel

I have a Rossi m92 in .454 Casull.
Fantastic rifle. Very light weight and slim profile.
Shoots to point of aim and hits like a ton of bricks.
I also like that I can use hot .45Colt too.

Mine is the older pre-safety model. It smoothed up nicely and is a fun shooter! Good little deer gun too!

The only drawback to the Rossi is, IIRC, they eject out the top, so they can't be scoped. If you're comfortable with irons only, then that won't be an issue.

I have a stainless .44, 20" barrel. Full house loads, or black powder loads will occasionally weld themselves to your neck when you eject them. Other than the scar tissue I really enjoy mine.

Be glad you're not of the opposite persuasion.

I have a .357, and love it, seems to run everything I've loaded in it...Shot it at close range, but just plinking at cans, it hit where I aimed...

Gave my son a stainless, pre safety 357 mag. He's took quite a few deer with it.

As a CAS shooter, I have seen quite a few ladies take a piece of hot brass down the cleavage. Lol. Being the gentleman that I am, I naturally offer my assistance!

I really enjoy mine. I've never had any problems. I will warn you the .44 in a lever rifle is stouter than you think.

So is the .454 Casull

I bet. I'd like one of those, just because.

That's precisely why I have it!

Noe Bullet Molds makes a scope mount that replaces the rear sight. I got one and use a scout scope on my .454.

IMHO Rossi makes a pretty good lever gun. I had one in .44 mag, and liked it a lot.
I sold it, but only to get a take-down version Rossi doesn't make.
I still have a Rossi in .357.
At the ranges you'll shoot a .44 mag or .357 mag, a magnified scope is probably not needed, so I went with a red dot.
It's much faster anyway for that quick snap shot, or if you need to use it as a defensive weapon.


My old Rossi.
It was a 24" rifle I had AllenM cut down to 17".
I wanted a short carbine, but with the heavy octagon barrel.
