I run a revolver scope on my r92. You can really use any scope with a good eye relief

Crazy how they have all of a sudden come back. For years you couldn’t find them anywhere. I saw a stainless 20” NEW at our big shop near me.

Something like that

Thankfully the rifle isn’t religious nor does it care for your opinion. Thanks for the useless comment though 👍🏼

@@chriswoody7702 lol…… such backlash …. Traditionally you seldom see scopes on lever guns , since they usually use short range cartridges and generally benefit very little from the addition of optics….. it is like buying beautiful teak wood furniture then painting it white…..

@@donaldmartin4980 well by jumping in with a statement solely intended to challenge the configuration of a rifle for absolutely no reason warrants a response of the same caliber. If a scope on a lever action is definitively blasphemous explain the Angle Eject model 94 produced by a manufacturer who is arguably the expert on the platform. Maybe the scope isn’t for you, and that’s fine. I enjoy a good pair of iron sights most days. But this particular rifle was set up for youth/novice shooters to hunt whitetail. And while it is a shorter range cartridge, it is accurate and effective out to 100yds and the scope really helps keep the groups consistent at that yardage. Much the same reason we put optics on pistols and even shotguns. It isn’t blasphemous. It’s just not for everyone.

@@chriswoody7702 well stated, by the way I have a Rossi 92, sixteen inch barrel .357 magnum…., everything I ever pointed it at went to my freezer, except for the coyotes. It will take large boars and black bears too, enjoy your rifle then pass it to your grandkids. It is usually my first choice for anything smaller than elk…

@@donaldmartin4980 highly underrated cartridge for most of the game in N. America mostly because of its range. But I rarely take deer beyond 50yds anymore so if you can keep them this side of 75yds it’s a rifle every hunter should own. Ours are utility guns. Paired with a pump 12ga and a .357 revolver they pretty much live in the farm truck.

Damn that's high! I have a Winchester 92 on order, for whatever reason, its been months, only $800.00 from local gun dealer here in SC. Canada sucks!

I was never a great fan of the new single shot Rossi guns. Now my Rossi 92 has been a fantastic, trouble free companion for nearly a decade and has out preformed both Henry and Marlin (new marlin, not the old school ones. No hate for those).

@@chriswoody7702 Same here with the Rossi 92. I've got the blued version in .357Mag. The action started out kind of rough at first, but it slicked up real nice after a couple hundred rounds. It's a lot more trouble to get back together than my Winchester 73 though. My Rossi 92 was made by CBC, which might explain why it's so rough out of the box. The older Model 92s actually made by Rossi at the old Sao Leopoldo plant were a little better finish. Either way, they're loads of fun to shoot. Now if we could just get .357Mag/.38Special ammo priced down so a working man can buy it.

@@Lex5576 I’ve got a video here of my 92. It’s been a few years I should update with another. But a few hours with a jeweler’s file and a brass shim and the trigger and loading gate are smooth as butter. From 125gr JHPs SCREAMING at 2200 FPS (strongly recommended only for confident reloaders) to 180gr LCSWC-GC that will drop any deer on this continent out to 100yds; the rifle has replaced everything in my safe as my go to. It’s become an extension of my arm, and between it and my trusty 870 I really don’t need much else. Sure it’s not a 500yd laser like some of my .277” rifles but the older I get the closer I force game before I pull the trigger. And this side of 75yds not much keeps fighting after encountering it. I could go on for days about my affection for the old Rossi.

@@Lex5576 also, I haven’t bought a box of 38/357 in almost the same decade. The Rossi (and all 38/357) is a reloader’s paradise. I was lucky enough to stockpile enough to be able to load for it long after I have left this earth. Unfortunately, because the bigger/faster mentality has taken over; I have very few cohorts who appreciate the cartridge like I do. But I have some loads that really make this rifle (and a properly paired sidearm) a top contender as the greatest brush gun…on this continent anyway.

@@chriswoody7702 It's amazing what that 20in rifle barrel can do to increase the velocity and energy of a pistol round. I've seen where some custom loaded .38 specials have gone supersonic (barely) in some cases.

I absolutely agree. .357magnum is a very versatile and widely under appreciated cartridge across the board. From a rifle it is a great 100yard gun, accurate and packs enough punch to take just about anything in the lower 48 and tough enough to keep in an old farm truck. My daughter took her first buck with mine; ~35 yards, hat trick, one shot it was down in 20 yards. And it is hands down my favorite platform to hand load for. I can easily break 2200fps at the muzzle.

Needs special loads thought. Other wise that length of the barrel can be a drawback using pistol ammo that is designed to maximize the performance of the today's defence 3"-5" pistols at 6-7 yrds range while minimizing the the flash. Slowest burning powders like AA7 and the heaviest ...and highest BC.. 357 bullets above .200 can make that 92 a 500 yrs rifle easily. If you are up to the task.

Your smoking dope...henry is top notch top to bottom. And american made. Educate yourself

To update on this comment; I have seen several new Rossi 92 in .357mag show up at the LGS near me. $799 for a 16” stainless.

Brandon Rayner good score, enjoy it. They are fantastic copies.

Chris Woody I ended up polishing some parts like the feed ramp, rails and the trigger and it made it so much smoother. I’m waiting on a “punisher” compensator (just for the look only), fibre optic sights and new grips.

Brandon Rayner you won’t find me knocking how much bling someone adds to their 1911. That makes half the fun of owning one, in my opinion. It’s like a custom car. You do what you want to do to it and make zero apologies, give no explanation.

jrockyhill you leave my shed alone. 7 years later and she’s still standing 😂

matt johnson I actually made it because I could only find nylon ones and that didn’t fit the feel of the rifle.

ZMOA2006 Frankenstein? How so?

I just picked up one of these, pre-1995 92' Rossi Puma carbine /w sling ring. Great gun. Fantastic action even compared to Henry, Winchesters, and Marlins. And a much lighter weight than the competition - without sacrificing anything to get there. I don't know how Henry gets away with their 7+ lb monstrosities.

@@aethertech - man I completely agree. I sold my 8.5lb Henry and bought a 5lb Rossi r92, glad I did too.

geobum the rings I am using could stand to be lower but honestly the way the rifle sits on my shoulder and being a long eye relief optic it really doesn’t bother me in the least bit.

@@chriswoody7702 right on, did you have any issues zeroing? im concerned the way the NOE mount fits it might have a slight upward cant that would use up a lot of clicks to bring the zero and POA together.

geobum that upward cant offsets the drop in the contour of the barrel. I did not have any issues with the NOE mount, I did however have issues with weaver mounts that were straight from rear to front.

kyadak perfect brush gun for such affairs. Very rugged and reliable. You won’t be disappointed

D BX thanks! They really are fantastic rifles. I carry mine more than anything else in the bush. It’s fast and accurate enough to do anything I need in the Midwest

Jim Phillips my best loads are 158gr JHP Speers over 18-20 grains of H110. I don’t cast my own lead and although a lot of folks love cast bullets out of these (1:30 Twist 😂) I use this mostly for deer so the JHP Or 140gr FTX have been my go to for it. You will love it. I actually traded this rifle off for the Mini 30 and then traded the mini 30 for a Beretta A303 and missed the Rossi so much I traded a motorcycle for it back.

W I am looking foreword to getting the gun... I like the way the FTX’s shoot in my 686 I may give those a try. Thanks for the reply, good shooting to you.

Jim Phillips I’ve got a couple real productive loads developed for it. The 140gr FTX over H110 has been my most accurate but 125JHP at about max capacity of H110 is running over 2100fps and will put a hell of a dent in 3/8 steel at 50 yards. They will drop anything from coyotes to deer at 100yds

Garrett Irwin I’ve put hundreds of rounds through it, many slugs included, and have not had any issues or regrets

S.Ccatfish not tapped from factory but yes, it would make an awesome slug gun. Especially with a rifled choke.

Joe2A America They are hard to find in the $500 price range. You can usually find a Henry pretty easy but as a hand loader I would be skeptical to run hotter loads in them or the marlins. The Rossi/Puma can be found in my area under $600 and in my opinion are built way better than the names suggest. I can’t count the number of rounds, including my hot handloaded hunting rounds, that I have through this gun with no complaints. Fantastic rifle. Couldn’t give me $1000 for it.

aron_favorites Very much so

Joe2A America thanks. Been a bit busy to post much lately but fear not, season is upon us once more ;)

Backwater Fowler looking forward brother.

grumpysquid There are not any sling mounts but a stud could easily be added to the stock and a clamp on style stud for a .45lc lever action I would imagine should fit the barrel. As far as accessories, other than different chokes, I can’t imagine there are many available depending on what you were looking for

a

Danny L yes there is a transfer bar.

Yes there is a transfer bar witch makes the safty button redundant. Half cock, transfer bar, and thumb saftey. Thumb safety over kill, in my opinion. A good idea for kids or someone learning to shoot though.
