The Rossi R95 454 Casull delivers exceptional stopping power in a compact lever-action platform, making it ideal for dangerous game hunting and close-quarters defense applications. This rifle combines the proven reliability of traditional lever-action mechanics with the bone-crushing performance of the 454 Casull cartridge. Built with precision-engineered components and robust construction, it handles the intense pressures of magnum cartridges while maintaining smooth cycling.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard lever-action rifles chambered in traditional cartridges, the R95 handles the 454 Casull's 65,000 PSI chamber pressure through reinforced steel construction and precise tolerances. The 16.5-inch barrel provides optimal velocity while maintaining maneuverability in dense cover. The black oxide finish offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing, extending service life in harsh hunting conditions.
Key Features
- 454 Casull chambering delivers 1,800+ ft-lbs of muzzle energy
- 16.5-inch black oxide alloy steel barrel with 1:20 twist rate
- 5+1 capacity tubular magazine system
- Fixed hardwood stock with traditional straight-grip design
- Black oxide alloy steel receiver rated for magnum pressures
- Adjustable buckhorn rear sight and brass bead front sight
- Cross-bolt safety located behind trigger guard
Field performance centers on the rifle's ability to cycle heavy 454 Casull loads reliably while maintaining accuracy at hunting ranges. The shorter barrel length makes it effective for brush hunting and close-range applications where quick target acquisition matters. Weather-resistant black oxide coating protects critical surfaces from moisture and field conditions. Lever-action mechanics provide faster follow-up shots compared to single-shot alternatives in the same power class.
