The Rossi R95 44 Magnum delivers the stopping power of a revolver cartridge in a fast-handling lever action platform. This rifle bridges the gap between traditional hunting rifles and modern tactical applications with its threaded barrel and robust stainless steel construction.
What Makes This Different
The R95 combines classic lever action mechanics with contemporary features like a factory-threaded muzzle for suppressor compatibility. The matte stainless steel barrel resists corrosion while maintaining accuracy, and the polished stainless receiver provides smooth cycling under adverse conditions. Most lever actions in this caliber lack threaded barrels, making this rifle unique for hunters seeking noise reduction options.
Key Features
- 44 Magnum chambering provides 1,200+ ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle
- 18-inch matte stainless steel barrel with 1/2x28 threading
- 8+1 capacity with side loading gate for quick reloads
- Polished stainless steel receiver with smooth lever action
- Fixed laminate stock resists warping in temperature extremes
- Adjustable rear sight and brass bead front sight
- Cross-bolt safety located behind the trigger guard
The 44 Magnum cartridge excels in brush hunting scenarios where heavy bullets maintain trajectory through vegetation. Effective range extends to 150 yards for deer-sized game, while the lever action provides rapid follow-up shots. The threaded barrel accommodates suppressors for reduced noise signature during pest control or hunting in noise-sensitive areas. Stainless construction handles wet weather conditions without maintenance concerns.
