    I love my Rossi M92's. I have 2 of them, both 20" stainless steel, one in 454 Casull and looking for cheaper fun and less abuse I bought one in 357 Magnum, they look at a glance like a set of twins. What a ball with my hand cast, powder coated Lee 358-125-RNFP bullets pushed by small charges of Red Dot, HP38 or Unique. Less than a Nickle a round, and loaded with Hornady 158 XTP's it makes a great truck gun for whatever. Fit and finish was great on both, functioning is flawless even with 45 Colt or 38 Special and both are very accurate. The only problem I had was not checking over the 357 before purchasing it. The front sight dovetail was to far back and angled, also it was very roughly cut. I returned it and Rossi fitted a new barrel at no cost and everything is great. I load up 500 of those 38 Specials and the grandkids decimate the can population weekends, best $25 I ever spent.

    A few months ago I bought the Rossi 92 SS 357 mag with the Stock Finish med in Gray Laminate. First time shooting it the rear site came off. While installing it back I checked the test of the gun. Turns out almost every screw needed tightening. Regardless, the fit and finish was very impressive for the price point. Very fun to shoot.

      If by chance you ever pass through Utah, you should stop by Gunnies in Orem--they still manage to stay classy with their selection of firearms. Gunnies is where I built up most of my milsurp collection--one of the few stores that would carry the milsurps.

    👍 Informative video. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and advice.
    I just ordered a new stainless Rossi 92 in .44 Magnum with a 24 inch barrel. I also ordered a few after-market accessories from Steve’s Gunz.
    It was sort of a leap of faith for me because while I have handled these rifles in gun stores I have never owned or fired one, your comments about how much you liked your several Rossi 92s was encouraging.

    Just bought my first Model 92 in .44 Mag. I’m now tricking it out how it works for me (rear pad, rail, red dot, sling), I’ve also smoothed a lot if the sharper areas like the loading gate and wormed the action about 1,000 times. It shoots very nice and I will be taking it into the woods this year for hog and deer hunting. Like you, this isn’t a “wall hanger”, it’s gonna be used as a SHOOTER! I will say the 240 grain ,44s do pack a punch, ergo, the pad! It’s a very light rifle and those big rounds left lasting “impressions” in my shoulder for days later! But I really do enjoy shooting it and hope to have successful hunts this season with it. Thanks for the video it was very informative, especially from a multi year owner of several versions. Valuable content! Thanks!

    When I found my .45 Colt Rossi 92, I was actually looking for one in .38/.357. However, the gun store where I was at had a number of 92's in stock (this was nearly 10 years ago) and the little 16" stainless .45 Colt example they showed me had the best trigger by far, so that's the one I bought. The wood was pretty plain and while it didn't have any gaps in the fit, the stock was just a bit "fat" and stood slightly proud of the metal in a few places. Also, the color of the wood was unnaturally orange, but stripping it and staining it darker solved that issue. Overall, it's been a great gun that has functioned flawlessly with everything from mild handloads for target shooting to the heavy 325 grain WFN hunting cartridges made by Buffalo Bore and Underwood. It's just a nice, quick-handling, light-weight, all-round practical rifle for shorter ranges.

    Good tips Taco. The 92 is my favorite action for pistol cals👍🏻. I recommend changing the factory buckhorns as well. Neither of mine had enough tension to hold the elevator in place under recoil, especially with the 44. You’d be own target for the first shot and then low on the follow ups. Took me a minute to figure out what was happening lol

I put a Marbles semi buckhorn on the 24 inch octagonal 357. I’ve been looking at the new 1-6x24 optic with bdc from skinner sights. Made for lever guns in the USA. Looks pretty nice. Not many reviews on it though.

    I also hate it, I don't want to scratch it, get it dirty and find my self polishing it all the time.

    Well I learn a few things and some surprises. If one wants due to failing eyesight to mount a peep sight, I think it should be going on the receiver if one wants to be traditional. For optics and a cheek riser on the buttstock, go get a semi-auto lol.
    I have lever guns in 30-30 and would like one in .357 or .44 mag, but just not enough incentive to do so at the moment.

    I bought an R92 - blued, 20" 45 Colt carbine a couple of months ago. I ordered it from Classic Arms - lucked out because it is fantastic. Really nice - wood, metal, fit and finish - and it seems like they're deburring them now - no sharp edges and the action is smooth. Shoots great too and cycles perfectly. I replaced the wing safety with a button and the plastic follower with a stainless steel one... just pulled this vid up so interested to see what you have here. Prices have gotten stupid = mine was $705 but I do have to say that the wood is fabulous - really nice figure and the finish is great. I'd love to have a .357 and a .44 Mag as well. These are great leverguns.

    Thanks for your post. I'm glad you enjoy your Rossi R92. I have a blued R92 with a 20" barrel in .357 magnum. I must be fortunate. I keep hearing concerns about fit and finish with the Rossi.
    I have the Rossi 92 and a Winchester Model 94. The fit and finish between my Rossi and the Winchester model 94 is comparable.
    One other thing. Rather than replacing the rear buckhorn sight, you can purchase a tang sight that mounts behind the hammer on the top of the grip. This gives a much longer sight radius and allows the eye to be in direct contact with the peep sight.

    • @hardball107
      @hardball107 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can also purchase a peep sight from Steve's Gunz that replaces the bolt mounted safety on the rear of the action. I installed one and use it as a ghost ring sight and maybe it's just me but I find it's just as accurate as the semi buckhorn.

    @leveractiongypsy1848 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good tips on what to look for when checking out new Rossi lever actions especially the front sight. I wish they were still $400 though lol. I'd like a 45 Colt or 45-70 lever action at some point. I love the Skinner sights, I have the Lo-Pro peep on my Marlin 336, though that model I dont think can work on the Rossi. The Lo-Pro peep screws right into the rear tap hole of a Marlin 336 and aligns perfectly with the front sight. I really cheap sight upgrade when you can use the existing front sight. Skinner is a great company, all made in USA in Montana - buy American!

As for me I really like my Henry Classic in brass with the 20 " octagon barrel in 45 Colt. It practically has no recoil. Like you I changed the rear buck horn sight to a Skinner Peep sight. It was super easy to install and adjust. Now I can actually see my sight. The buck horn sights I just cannot see them nearly as well as the Skinner Peep sights.

    I have 5 of them too. The only problem I ever had was my blued 20" 357 mag ejector broke after 5000+ rds. Rossi wouldn't send me one. They wanted me to send them the entire gun and I didn't want to do that so I ordered one for a chaparral 1892 on the numrich site for around 15 bucks. I had to do some filing to get it to fit, but that didn't take long.

    Cool and thanks. I stopped right in the middle of the video to get my Rossi 92 out to check for the drilled/tapped holes in the barrel. I never knew and I like optics on all my guns. However, I am going to try that Skinner sight first. I am not real comfortable with the buck horn rear sight. Mine is a 16" blued .38/357. I got it specifically as a shooter. After one day of walking around with it while looking for wild pigs I decided to put a sling on it. I have a video on it where I have some first shots with it, but I really need to do an update hopefully with the Skinner sight. I just made a video the other day on my new Marlin 45-70 Guide gun. I can't wait to start trying casting and reloading for it. Check that video out if you get a chance. Again, thanks for making this video.

      you may want to try out a keith style cast bullet around 250-255gr too at some point. Those 200gr ones make for a nice fun plinking load--we usually use a 200gr for the duels and the 250-255 for when you want to hit something a little farther and hit harder.

    I also have the dual Rossi 45’s in 16” and like you one stainless and one blued (only there both mine😂) only difference is the blued one came with a large loop. I also change out my sights (on all my levers) but with bullseye sights, like them a lot better than peeps, you have a small peep along with a larger overall view if needed for quick sighting, plus there only $20 and to fit all (a lot) my levels it was the best choice (really no regrets). Love my Rossi’s (over 1/2 dz) all calibers and sizes (12”, 16”, 20” & 24”) mostly stainless, believe they come smoother straight out the box then the blued not to mention sooo much better looking 😊.

    • @FullLeadTaco
      @FullLeadTaco  ปีที่แล้ว

      people treat different guns differently... some guns are treated like tools that you utilize daily. They get scratches and scrapes through normal use (that doesn't necessarily mean you are treating them wrong). Other guns are show pieces or treated as something nice to touch and look at--and you try to keep them from getting any scratches. My rossi 92's are more like the tools--I shoot them a lot but take good care of them. They do, however, have small scratches and scrapes from all the usage.

    I haven't been into gunnies in almost a year I guess. Looks like their selection of lever guns is back up to normal. I finally found an R92 in 454 Casull and ordered it today. hopefully I get a good example. When you can only find something online, I guess that's the gamble you have to take.

    Only things I'd want to do with my 454 casull r92 is switch out the sights with some fiber optic sights. I'd also get rid of that damn safety up top and get in contact with a gunsmith about putting in a winchester 94ae style tang safety. I'd also slick up the action, get a cold hammer forged chrome moly barrel made for it to deal with the 454 casull heat. Also gonna have the barrel threaded for a muzzle brake amd maybe a better butt pad on the stock.

    Wowser's! That Utah gun store has a very nice little selection of lever guns just sitting there ready for close inspection. I felt like reaching through the screen..
    I have a stainless, "slicked up" Rossi '92 in .44 Mag. What I consider to be the ultimate gun to throw into a canoe for defense against wild animals or canoe hunting. I only like saddle carbines, and my Rossi is perfect in that configuration. I even got a stainless after-market saddle ring. I will buy a new Marlin .357 if Ruger brings out a stainless saddle carbine historically styled. They need to lose the rubber butt and ahem, "unique" barrel band. So I got my Rossi about 13 years ago. Would that be an early one? Anyway, the wood is top notch gorgeous. It looks like some kind of tropical wood, naturally very rich red color. Just amazing and contrast so well with the stainless. Yours are definitely a different wood.

    Recently, quite a few of the stainless steel .357 mag R92s have the chamber hogged out at the feed ramp. It creates an unsafe condition where the case head is only partially supported.
    At best, this results in bulged cases. At worst, you could experience case splitting or separation.
    The chamber face should be square and shouldn't look like some hack took a dremel tool to it.

    I have two Rossi 92's, a 20" one in .45 Colt with an octagon barrel, and a 24" one in .44 Mag, also an octagon (can you tell I like octagon barrels?). The .45 has been slicked up with spring replacement and also had the safety removed and a plug installed (I don't have children, a half-cock notch is fine for me). I have shot it in CAS matches and do fine with it. The .44, on the other hand, is a problem. The only rounds it will cycle reliably are those with 240-grain bullets. All rounds with lighter bullets (I prefer 200 grain, as this is my primary competition bullet in CAS matches) will stovepipe on loading, with the bullet sticking up out of the receiver. It does like 240-grain Keith SWC, so that's what I feed it. It's a puzzler, though. But I still like my Rossis. I'd like to have one in .480 Ruger to go with my SBH, but they only made a few thousand of them, and they go for ridiculous prices now.

    Do the Rossi 92s in .38/.357 have any issues stabilizing heavier bullets in the 158-200gr range since they have 1 in 30” twist barrels? I’d like to get one to shoot heavy subsonic loads suppressed, but I’m concerned about baffle strikes.

      different pros and cons--the 92's top eject which means you can't mount any optics on the receiver... but the action can be really smooth. My marlin 1894 in 357 mag/38 special is a hoot to shoot too (pretty smooth & has a threaded barrel for a suppressor). Long and short of it would be that I like both.

    I've owed or still have Tree Rossi 92r rifles. The first was a 44 mag ten years ago and it wound not eject. Sent it to Rossi and it took 11 months to get it back. I recently bought a Big loop Rossi 92 in .357 and the front sight was not installed properly every screw on the rifle was loose. I reinstalled the front sight and tightened the screws and surprisingly this rifle shoots very well. So after that I bought a R92 in 44 mag 16" got it home and it would not chamber the first round. Sent it back the very next day that was around November 30th and still today as of March first haven't got it back. Rossi has promised to replace the rifle due to lack of parts but can't give me a date
    honestly thats BS. I will never ever buy another Rossi again.
