Rossi Lever Guns

Rossi USA is introducing two new additions to its R95 series of lever-action rifles, the Triple Black and the Laminate models. These new variants offer distinct finishes to cater to individual preferences, while still sharing the features of the R95 that enhance the shooting experience.

Key Features:

  • Black Cerakote Finish (Triple Black) / Laminated Wood Finish (Laminate): Choose between the sleek black Cerakote finish for all-weather conditions on the Triple Black model or the distinctive laminated wood finish on the Laminate model.
  • Threaded Barrel (Triple Black): Customize your shooting experience with the threaded barrel on the Triple Black model, ready for suppressors or muzzle brakes.
  • Medium Loop Lever, Paracord Wrapped (Triple Black): The medium loop lever, paracord wrapped for enhanced grip, adds a unique touch of comfort to the Triple Black model.
  • Soft Touch Recoil Pad (Laminate): Enhance comfort while shooting and reduce recoil with the soft touch recoil pad on the Laminate model.
  • Tube Magazine with 5 Rounds Capacity: Both models have magazine that holds 5 rounds of .30-30 Win. for peace of mind when you’re out in the field.
  • Sling Mounts / Sling Stud Mounts: Conveniently carry your firearm with integrated sling mounts on the Triple Black model or built-in sling stud mounts or the Laminate version.
