The Rossi R95 454 Casull delivers serious stopping power in a compact lever-action platform that excels where traditional rifles fall short. This rifle chambers the formidable 454 Casull cartridge, providing hunters and shooters with magnum revolver performance in a shoulder-fired configuration. The 18-inch barrel length creates an ideal balance between velocity retention and maneuverability in dense cover.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard lever-action rifles chambered in traditional cartridges, the R95 handles the high-pressure 454 Casull round that generates over 1,800 foot-pounds of energy. The black oxide finish on both barrel and receiver provides superior corrosion resistance compared to basic blued steel. The alloy steel construction withstands the intense pressures generated by magnum cartridges while maintaining accuracy shot after shot.
Key Features
- 454 Casull chambering delivers exceptional stopping power for large game hunting
- 18-inch black oxide alloy steel barrel optimizes velocity while maintaining portability
- 9+1 capacity provides multiple follow-up shots without reloading

Field performance centers on the rifle's ability to deliver magnum power in situations where handguns lack sufficient range and bolt-actions prove too slow. The lever-action design allows hunters to maintain target acquisition while cycling the action, crucial for dangerous game encounters or follow-up shots on wounded animals. The 454 Casull cartridge maintains lethal energy well beyond typical handgun ranges, making this rifle effective to 150 yards on large game.
