New Rossi R95 Lever Action Rifles

When Rossi USA first launched its lever-action carbine and rifle R95 series, the first models were offered in the classic lever gun chamberings of .30-30 Win. and .45-70 Gov’t.

Now Rossi USA is introducing additional straight-wall, rimmed-cartridge options for the R95 family including .44 Mag, .357 Mag, .444 Marlin and .360 Buckhammer. Every lever-action Rossi R95 carbine or rifle that shoots any of these four additional cartridge choices is still built to the same high standards and specifications as the rest of the Rossi R95 family, including the .30-30 Win. and 45/70 originals. Certain features and details, such as rifling twist rate and tubular magazine capacity, will depend on the specific cartridge, but each of the four new models comes standard with the same classically styled hardwood furniture set and 20-inch barrels.

The collection of these new rimmed straight wall cartridge options that include .44 Rem Mag, .357 Mag, .444 Marlin and .360 Buckhammer continue to be very popular rounds that are supported by the industry and loaded with modern hunting projectiles. Hunting with straight-wall cartridges is popular in certain mid-western states across the USA, and these new rifles cater to that market.
