Rossi R92 357 Magnum Lever-Action Rifle With Octagonal Barrel

The Rossi R92 357 Magnum Lever-Action Rifle with Octagonal Barrel delivers classic lever-gun performance with modern reliability. Chambered in the versatile .357 Magnum, this rifle accepts .38 Special rounds for economical practice and .357 Magnum for serious hunting or defense. The octagonal barrel provides enhanced heat dissipation and a traditional aesthetic that distinguishes this model from standard round-barrel variants. Built on Rossi’s proven action, the R92 cycles smoothly and feeds reliably with both cartridge types.

Overview

Rossi has manufactured lever-action rifles for decades, and the R92 represents the culmination of that experience. The rossi r92 357 magnum lever-action rifle with octagonal barrel combines a compact 20-inch octagonal barrel with a full-length magazine tube, holding 10 rounds of .357 Magnum or .38 Special. The action features a rebounding hammer and a transfer bar safety system, allowing safe carry with a round in the chamber. Sights consist of a brass bead front post and an adjustable rear sight, providing a clear sight picture for quick target acquisition. The straight-grip stock and forend are crafted from Brazilian hardwood, finished with a satin lacquer that withstands field use.

The octagonal barrel on this rossi r92 357 magnum lever-action rifle with octagonal barrel adds approximately 0.3 pounds compared to the round-barrel variant, contributing to reduced felt recoil and improved balance.

First, hunters who need a lightweight, fast-handling carbine for deer or hog hunting in thick cover will appreciate the 357 Magnum’s stopping power at typical engagement distances under 100 yards.
