Rossi R92 357 Magnum Lever-Action Rifle With Octagonal Barrel

The Rossi R92 357 Magnum Lever-Action Rifle with Octagonal Barrel delivers a classic side-gate loading system combined with modern metallurgy and a 20-inch octagonal barrel. Chambered in 357 Magnum, this rifle accepts both 357 Mag and 38 Special ammunition, offering shooters a versatile platform for target work, ranch use, or trail carry. The blued finish and Brazilian hardwood stock maintain a traditional appearance while the action cycles smoothly out of the box. This model features a buckhorn rear sight and brass bead front sight for quick acquisition in variable light conditions.

Overview

Rossi built the R92 series around a scaled-down version of the Winchester 1892 action, known for its strength and reliability. The octagonal barrel variant adds weight forward, reducing felt recoil during extended shooting sessions. With an overall length of 37 inches and an unloaded weight of approximately 5.8 pounds, this rifle balances handiness with stability. The 357 Magnum chambering allows shooters to practice affordably with 38 Special loads while retaining full-power defensive or hunting capability with 357 Magnum rounds. The tubular magazine holds 10 rounds of 357 Magnum or 12 rounds of 38 Special, providing ample capacity for range or field use.
