Rossi R92 357 Magnum Lever-Action Rifle with Octagonal Barrel

The Rossi R92 357 Magnum Lever-Action Rifle with Octagonal Barrel represents a faithful modern rendition of the classic Winchester 1892 platform, engineered for shooters who demand reliability in a compact, fast-handling package. Chambered in .357 Magnum (and accepting .38 Special), this rifle bridges the gap between nostalgic Western styling and practical contemporary use. Each unit is constructed at Rossi’s facility with a focus on tight tolerances and smooth cycling, making it a durable choice for range work, field carry, and home defense roles.

Overview

Built on a forged steel receiver with a blued finish, the Rossi R92 357 Magnum Lever-Action Rifle with Octagonal Barrel features a 20-inch octagonal barrel that provides additional weight forward for reduced muzzle rise during rapid fire. The lever-action mechanism cycles both .357 Magnum and .38 Special cartridges reliably, with a 10-round tubular magazine capacity (dependent on local regulations). The full-length magazine tube is contained within the forend, preserving the classic lines of the design. A buckhorn rear sight and gold bead front sight come standard, offering a clear sight picture for fast target acquisition. The stock and forend are crafted from hardwood with a satin finish, providing a secure grip in varied conditions.

Features & Specs

• Caliber and Magazine: Chambered in .357 Magnum / .38 Special P+; tubular magazine holds 10 rounds of .357 Magnum or 10 rounds of .38 Special. Loading gate on the right side of the receiver allows single-round insertion without removing the magazine.
• Barrel and Action: 20-inch octagonal barrel with a 1:30-inch twist rate; forged steel receiver with blued finish; positive extraction via a rotating bolt and dual extractors. The lever throw has been engineered for a short, smooth stroke.
• Sights and Safety: Adjustable buckhorn rear sight (elevation only) with a brass bead front post; a manual cross-bolt safety is located at the rear of the receiver. The hammer has a half-cock notch for additional carry security.

Overall length measures 36.5 inches, with an unloaded weight of approximately 5.6 pounds. The stock has a length of pull of 13.5 inches and a drop at comb of 0.75 inches. All metal surfaces are blued carbon steel; the action is designed to handle continuous use without degradation.

Who It’s For

The Rossi R92 357 Magnum Lever-Action Rifle with Octagonal Barrel is suited for three primary user groups. First, shooters seeking a reliable lever-action for recreational target shooting and plinking will appreciate the dual-caliber versatility and the smooth cycling that allows for rapid follow-up shots. Second, hunters in states with straight-wall cartridge restrictions will find the .357 Magnum adequate for deer and hogs at typical brush-country ranges under 100 yards, with the octagonal barrel offering improved stability in field positions. Third, those building a practical home-defense rifle will benefit from the compact overall length, light weight, and the ability to use lower-recoil .38 Special ammunition for training. This rifle is not intended for precision long-range applications or for shooters requiring optics mounting without a gunsmith, as the receiver is not drilled and tapped for a scope base from the factory.
