The Rossi R95 357 Magnum delivers reliable lever-action performance with modern tactical enhancements for versatility across multiple shooting disciplines. This rifle bridges traditional lever-action reliability with contemporary features that expand its utility beyond conventional hunting applications.
What Makes This Different
The R95 combines the proven lever-action mechanism with a factory-installed Picatinny rail system, eliminating the need for aftermarket modifications. The 13.25-inch barrel length provides an optimal balance between maneuverability and velocity retention for 357 Magnum cartridges. Black Cerakote finish on both barrel and frame offers superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing, extending service life in harsh conditions.

Field performance demonstrates the R95's versatility across hunting, ranch work, and defensive applications. The 357 Magnum cartridge delivers effective terminal ballistics on medium game within 150 yards while maintaining manageable recoil characteristics. Weather-sealed action components resist moisture infiltration during extended outdoor use. The shorter barrel configuration reduces weight while maintaining sufficient velocity for hunting applications.
