Rossi R92 357 Magnum Lever-Action Rifle With Octagonal Barrel

Overview

The Rossi R92 357 Magnum lever-action rifle with octagonal barrel is a modern interpretation of a classic American design, engineered for reliability and precision. Chambered in .357 Magnum, this rifle also accepts .38 Special rounds, offering versatility for target shooting, hunting, and ranch work. The octagonal barrel provides additional weight forward for reduced muzzle rise and improved accuracy during rapid follow-up shots. Built on Rossi’s proven 92 action, this model cycles smoothly and feeds reliably with both round-nose and flat-point ammunition. The traditional lever-action mechanism is paired with a crescent buttplate and buckhorn sights, maintaining the heritage look while delivering modern performance.
