Rossi R92 Lever-Action Carbine
Rossi, a Brazilian manufacturer of pistols, rifles, and shotguns with a history dating back 133 years to its founder Amedo Rossi in 1889 offers a unique line of lever-action carbines chambered in heavy pistol calibers. The R92 is offered in a wide variety of cartridges including .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .45 Long Colt, and .454 Casull.
Some may wonder why a rifle would be chambered for a smaller, less powerful pistol cartridge rather than a traditional high-energy rifle cartridge, but there are benefits. The first is recoil. If you enjoy shooting a lever action carbine, but don’t want the heavy recoil of a larger caliber, a pistol cartridge is a great solution. It has less power and range than a rifle cartridge, but it still retains enough energy for sport shooting or hunting small game and varmints.
The second reason for a pistol cartridge is the action within the rifle. Rossi has developed their lever-action models with shorter pistol cartridges creating a very smooth, very fast action that rarely experiences jams or other problems sometimes associated with lever-action rifles.
If you’re after a fun, easy to shoot, accurate, low-recoil lever-action rifle in a huge variety of styles, the Ross R92 might be the gun for you.
