Rossi R92 357 Magnum Lever-Action Rifle With Octagonal Barrel

The Rossi R92 357 Magnum Lever-Action Rifle with Octagonal Barrel is a modern interpretation of a classic American design, built for reliability and handling. Chambered in .357 Magnum, this rifle also accepts .38 Special rounds, offering versatility for target shooting, hunting, and range practice. The octagonal barrel provides additional barrel rigidity and a distinct traditional profile, while the lever-action mechanism delivers smooth, positive cycling. Each rifle is assembled by Rossi in their Brazil facility and imported to the United States, meeting standard quality benchmarks for production lever guns.

Overview

This lever-action rifle traces its lineage to the 1892 design by John Browning, a proven action known for strength and smooth operation. The Rossi R92 357 Magnum Lever-Action Rifle with Octagonal Barrel retains the short-throw lever and side ejection that made the original a favorite among shooters. The receiver is machined from steel and the action is designed to handle the pressures of .357 Magnum loads while maintaining the ability to cycle .38 Special ammunition without adjustment. The 20-inch octagonal barrel contributes to a balanced weight and improved heat dissipation during extended shooting sessions. The rifle comes equipped with a tubular magazine holding up to 10 rounds of .38 Special or 9 rounds of .357 Magnum.
