Rossi R92 .357 Magnum - Large Loop Lever Action - This Is My 3rd One in 35 Years! Range Review

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มี.ค. 2023
- This is my third Rossi lever action carbine and it will be the last one that I buy. Why? Because I love the Rossi R92 and so does my son. Watch as we have a blast on the range testing this cool firearm.
You guys are sooo blessed with an outdoor "shooting range" like this. You have no idea.
Indeed.
What a perfect little rifle! Hard to argue with a .357 for self defense.
Notice 16-18/20” vs 4 regular revolver+ no Gap like in wheel gun’s
It's cool with all the shooting, but I'm here to listen to you speak. It's like visiting with an old friend.
Thank you Joshua....you just made my day.
@@mixup98 You remind me of an old friend of my grandfather. One day he showed up at my family's cabin with a Boy Scout commemorative Henry .22 and let me shoot it. It was the only gun of his I ever knew about but it was a sweet shooter. He has sadly passed on but you sound and kind of look like him.
@@bwofficial1776 I have had other viewers say that I remind them of a friend or family member, and it is always an honor to read those comments. Sorry to hear about the passing of your grandfather.
You don't sound like you're putting on a persona. I definitely appreciate the lack of political commentary.
You nailed it. Put into words the reason I like this channel so well.👍
Does my little soul a world of good to watch you two shooting a lever-action rifle in its proper setting.😁
Here in Brazil we have this version in stainless steel, it is the one that sells the most around here, very good weapon! hug from Brazil
A big hug to you too, my friend.
I just bought one of those stainless models as my first gun yesterday
Here in Brazil, I'm glad to see that you like to buy and use Brazilian guns.

Hope you don’t have new gun control there . Hola amigo
Watching you fella's in this busy world is like taking a mini vacation ! Loved it !
Love your comment....thank you! 👍🤠 👍😎
Really enjoyed the father and son fun in this video. Especially the hominy explosion. When a can of hominy is put to its best and highest use, I enjoy it big time! And I agree that it's hard to beat a .357 lever action.
With all the violins in this world, we need more videos that promote peas and hominy.
Man NC, you got the Hominy part right. I grew up in Waco and for whatever reason my parents always hominy. I hate that crap. Getting to see them blown up is a big releife knowing nobodys gonna have to eat it. Yes, Father and son in a sweet part of the US (to me) is always uplifting. Out and away from people.
MU has a great channel and I love it.
I would still like an estimate of how many time he estimates the old truck has been shot.

I went back and forth on the Rossi or the Henry for almost a year. Settled on the Henry. Both great rifles. Somethin' about a lever gun.
I've had a Rossi puma since the late 1980s have shot more rounds than I can count through it, still works perfectly and we always take it on our camping trips.
My traveling gun is a 16 inchRossi 357 92. Legal everywhere , has no” evil features or restricted magazine. “ I have an 8 round cartridge cuff on the butt stock , so if a rapid reload is needed, top off the mag or throw one into the chamber. When using for home defense in upstate NY, load it with 9 38 157 fn, that will hit around 1050 -1100 fps. Keep factory 158 soft point 357 for outdoor use.
I used to have a Rossi Puma and carried it in the truck until I wore it out. It still would fire but something happened to it and I could not reload for it without problems. I loved that rifle. I now own another .357 rifle but it is a Ruger M77/357. It is also a wonderful rifle but a bolt action on which I put an old Weaver K2.5 scope. .357 is more cartridge than most people know.
Nice shooting!!! Thanks for taking us along.
That rifle in that chambering is an excellent truck rifle an ideal for at least three seasons and possibly also for hunting season. With 38 Special target loads for small game; shotshells for pests and dangerous reptiles; and, finally, hot loaded magnums for medium game and whitetail deer at closer rsnges, it could make an all around rifle especially when paired with a versatile revolver.
All that and it just oozes Old West character.
Love the echo sound.. real cowboy western sound...!!👍👍👍🇺🇸
I have the 20” stainless Rossi 92 in 44 mag. It’s a rifle that I wont ever sell. Awesome little shooter. I’ve been a fan of your videos for a few years now. Keep up the good work
That was a sweet lever action rifle. You guys are great together and I am thankful for this channel! Please keep up the great work.
My son and I love making these videos together and yes, we will keep making them as long as we possibly can. 👍🤠 👍😎
Gotta love the sound of the action on a lever gun.
That rifle is kicking names and taking ass!
Man, I tell ya! I get busy with life, one trip back to this channel and I'm reminded how much I love this content!
Thank you for the awesome comment. You made us both smile!
I searched for couple of years locally in my area or a Henry lever action 38/357. I never found one, but I did end up finding a Rossi R92 and took a chance on it. I love the thing and it goes on every camping trip and hunting trip with me. I liked it so much I bought a 2nd one and it's replaced my bolt action 223 as my truck gun.
I have a stainless Rossi 92 in .454 Casull and I love it. Being from Wyoming I have taken cow elk, mule deer and antelope with it. Once I was transferred to Texas, she has taken lots of hogs and a few axis deer, Aoudad and white tail deer. These are underrated carbines. Thank you again for another awesome Video!
My favorite gun channel.
Awesome.....thanks John!
I have four lever guns: Uberti 1860 Henry, Uberti 1866 Yellow Boy, Uberti 1873 Winchester and a large loop Rossi 16" 1892 like yours. Guess which one I love shooting the most? Yup, the Rossi in .357. So light, handy and a ton of fun. Great video! Always enjoy your work!
I shot my friend’s 1866 Yellow Boy 357. Beautiful lever rifle but too heavy for this senior with hands and back problems. But I love cowboy guns so I bought a Uberti Cattleman 357 with the longer 7.5” barrel. Very accurate and reliable revolver. Nice mixup98 video.
I'm looking forward to another year of your reviews and tips. Once again it's refreshing to see thoughts on guns that average people like me can afford and enjoy!!
Amen on the "guns that average people like me can afford and enjoy". All the best. "The JJ" SW Penna.
Definetly a great rifle to shoot. Feeding issues sometimes are owner/ operators or short overall bullet e.g.: hollow point.
Thank you both.
Long life lever action rifles.
Feeding issues can be generated by the operator or by the ammo choice, as you say. Feeding issues can also be caused by a faulty firearm. This Rossi is the latter. See my comment above.
"Boiled Peanuts" sounds like it would be a good name for a villain in a Snoopy and Charlie Brown parody episode.
Awesome ending 👍😁
As usual my friends, "Mr. Mixup 98 + Son", great content, great scenery, great dialogue of facts/figures/specs, great shooting (including the misses 👍), BUT MOSTLY, the Great relationship between father and son!! As I've mentioned in my previous comment on another video of yours, that the comraddery, mutual respect, and most importantly, LOVE, for each other, shines through in the content of your videos. Clean, safe, respectful, enjoyable fun, for all to share, via TH-cam. Great memories, for certain, friends. -Paul A Trujillo, - (Southern California)
Your comments about my son and I always bring a smile to my face. My son and I are very close (obviously) and we really enjoy each other's company, especially when we are outdoors fishing, kayaking, camping or shooting. Someday I will get too old to make these videos but at least I will be able to watch them here on youtube with a big smile on my face. Thanks again for the awesome comment and we both wish you a safe, fun weekend.
Thank you for your kind words and response! My son will soon be 23, and we are "best buddies", as he would call us that since the age 3. Interestingly, his name is "Mark", as I always was enamored by that name/character, from the "Rifleman" t.v. series. "Lucas", his father, as you know 😁, was tough, rough around the edges, extremely tall, a fine shot/marksman, and weathered hard by being a single dad, and ranch owner. He was often times hard/rough on his son, but as the series got very popular, he'd learn the hard way, that "tough/dry love" can do the opposite in the making of a "true man". "Lucas" learned that boys need tenderness, understanding, patience, compassion, structure based on love, and commendation often. Mark worshipped his "Pa", and knew that his Pa was forced to "grow up quick", swallow his feelings, move on after the death of his wife, hardened by his upbringing, and "cowboy up" as a single dad/man. But,... Mark often taught his Pa, vital life lessons, as a mere child, that Lucas recognized that everyone must adapt/change positively, for success and peace in the family. I'm not a perfect dad, by any means!, and I had a fair bit of "Lucas" in me 😔, but just like the t.v. "Mark", my "Mark" ( including my wife and daughter! 🤰🙆♀️) truly helped me evolve into a much better "man", than I ever would've been on my own. I apologize for my long dialogue dear Sir, but felt compelled to share my thoughts, feelings, and appreciation, for your personal videos you make with your son. I hope that the "Rifleman" correlation, helped convey my personalized sentiments of family bonds. As you also expressed, time is very fleeting, and so very precious! All the more reason to make memories, while we can, and do our up most, to make those memories, "good ones" 😊. - Paul A Trujillo.
@@paultrujillo9923 I loved watching The Rifleman when I was a young child and I wanted to grow up and shoot just like him. I'm not as fast as Lucas but I think I do pretty good. I also admired his relationship with his son and I honestly believe that is part of the reason I have a great relationship with my son. I know it sounds corny but the show really did have an impact on my life when I got older. Please tell your son Mark that I said hello. It sounds like he has a great father.
Gotta agree with a couple other comments here saying that with the hustle and bustle of every day life ..coming here is like a nice little vacation with good friends!
Thanks for the videos you guys and God bless!
My son and I love your comment and you really made our day. Thank you! Have a safe Memorial Day weekend and God bless.
What a gorgeous gun! I've been wanting a Rossi R92 in 45LC for some time and I think I'm going to grab one. Great video sir!
A few years ago we bought two Rossi 92's, one in .357 mag. for my wife and a .45 Colt for me. The actions are a bit gritty. Since I reload, I found my 20" .45 shoots 250 gr., 230 gr., and 185 gr. JHP's all with remarkable accuracy. I suggest you do it.
I've got a Rossi 92 in 454 Casull Mag and I'd highly recommend going that route. You can shoot 45 Colt but if you need a lot more power just insert 454 Casull. Had it for over ten years. Its in 20" barrel to squeeze as much fps out of it. Plus I like the balance/handling of the 20" barrel.. Just picked up a new Rossi 92 stainless .357 w/20". Beautiful rifle. The sights line perfectly when snap shooting. Its a rare thing for me when that happens.
Since I've got long arms I put a Tourbon leather recoil pad and that makes them perfect for carrying into brush. The 92 stainless was a 4 year quest so I'm one happy camper right now.
I bought one a couple of years back...great rifle!
I bought one in .454 Casull at an estate sale. It shoots .45 L.C. Just fine as well as the .454's. A real dependable carbine.
@@LuvBorderCollies Yes thats a good tip, i roll my own too, and hadn't thought of that but yeah if your gonna get one in 45 colt get the 454 casull!
That's a beautiful rifle and it was fun watching you boys.
Much appreciated....have a great weekend. 👍🤠 👍😎
Definitely have a 38spl/357 lever action on my wish list.
A few years ago we bought a Rossi .357 20" blued for my wife. Since I reload, I just had to experiment. Her rifle shoots 6 handloads with remarkable accuracy. They are 110 gr., 125 gr., and 158 gr. in both 38 sp. and 357 mag. I suggest you do it.
@@davidhawthorne7423
I'm definitely hot to trot for a 38 spl/357 mag lever action of some type. And the Rossi 38spl/357 mag blue finish you mentioned is certainly very reasonably priced. It also has excellent all around reviews. My only question would be how well your wife's Rossi cycles all types of manufactured ammo. The only reason I ask is one posted review claimed the Rossi was slightly finicky with certain ammo. But for whatever reason they didn't bother to elaborate on the matter. At all. Which is aggravating and basically negated their entire point of review. It's like someone telling you to be somewhere exact but not giving you an address or any directions to get there smh. With that lack of attention to detail their unspecified ammo cycling issues could very well be operator error. Anyway I appreciate your informed detailed post on the subject because I'm currently saving hard for my very first lever action. Should have one by summertime : )
Had the most amazing range time with my friends on Saturday. First time shooting since late fall, and still had some decent shot placement/groups. But now I got a serious fever that can't be cured by conventional medicine! The only cure possible will definitely require me to fill out and submit a Form 4473. You know how it is.
@@tonyducks1121 Thank you for a nice reply. I don't recall her 38/357 having any trouble digesting any of the 38/357 ammo we fed it, which would be 3 bullet weights and three overall lengths with each. The action was raspy, not smooth, and difficult to shoot from standing. I decided to shoot it a while before I got out my gun disassembly books and tried to stone the action parts. I was surprised to see all 6 loads land at 7 pm, just touching the point of aim at 25 yds. I have never fired a factory made round through it.
Loved the throwback pics.
Thanks....we appreciate the feedback!
I have been looking for your next videos every week because I love watching your videos.
Wow great video guys!!! Love them lever guns!! PS I bet them critters are happy when you guys leave with the smorgasbord you leave........
I'm sure the quail, rabbits and ground squirrels are always glad to see us leave 🐇🐦🐿️
That's a cool video mixup! We just love the way you blow up the expired food cans. With the cost of ammo and everyday essentials going up in this inflation we're really grateful that you guys keep us entertained. Keep shooting!
Best regards from your viewers in
South Asia 🎉
I got me this rifle 5 months ago, went shooting and of coarse loved it. Can't wait for my son to come down to visit so we can go shoot it as we always have with other guns and rifles before. Love doing this dad and son things with my boy. Loved your video. Reminds me of me and my son. Thanks for sharing.
I've got the r92 triple black in .357mag. Love it as well
I keep a eye out for your videos.and never leave disappointed.
Local gun shop had that same gun but in 44 mag .
I was going to think it over and went back and it was gone within the week. Someone else is enjoying it ..but as soon as I seen the thumbnail of the video had to watch it , because I wasn't sure how good of a gun it was. But I have lot of respect for your opinion, and it confirms that I missed a good one
Nice Pedal Steel Guitar at the Intro Brother! Good Video,I really enjoy watching You and Your Partner Sonny ,Shooting this 92'! Just Plain ol Simple Fun!
Got this exact rifle a few weeks ago and absolutely love it.
I have a stainless Rossi 92, and it’s great. I stripped the “finish” and used TruOil, radiused the top of the buttstock, and filed the butt p,ate to fit properly. Thanks for Sharing! 👍💥👍💥
Hello Frank. I haven't used TruOil in probably several decades but maybe I will buy a bottle, fix the gap in the buttstock, and refinish the stock. Thanks for the inspiration. 👍
Who doesn't love a good 16" lever action! Great video guys!
Thanks for your post. I've had my Rossi R92 for several years. It's a favorite lever action carbine of mine. It's great to be able to fire 38 Special or .357 Magnum from the same gun.
I always enjoy your videos! I don't know if I will ever be as good a marksman as you, your son, and your daughter-in-law are, but it sure is fun trying!
Had the marlin in 357 and LOVED it. Have the 44 now. Such fun guns.
You guys are too much fun Mixie!...sweet little rifle, especially with that large loop...just added one to my Henry .44 mag deer dropper and love it...your mechanics on a lever surely display cowboy shooter prowess Lucas...young Mixie always reminds me of the great actor Christian Bale...3:10 to Yuma & Hostiles....you boys stay well!
My son will get a kick out of being compared to Christian Bale. About seven years ago I did a review on my Henry large loop .44 magnum and I absolutely loved it. My friend liked it so much that I sold it to him. Maybe someday I will get another one. You also stay well and have a great weekend.
@@mixup98 can't say enough about your channel my friend, like previous commentors have so appropriately expressed, it's like visiting with a good friend....blessings!...👍🙏
Another great video. Thank you for sharing those old photos.
Nice rifle and great shooting !
I was wanting to get a Henry, but after this video I think I will go with the Rossi. Thanks for the video.
They're pretty good guns. I've got a longer barrel one and it's sweet. .357 don't kick at all.
I recommend Henry. Their customer service is excellent. Best of luck with your choice and enjoy!
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.
I had one of these and loved it. Problem is that I have tired eyes and don't do iron sights much anymore. The rifle top ejects so I didn't bother putting an optic on it. The Marlin variant side ejects.
Put a red dot on it.
By far my favorite Gun tube channel. Excellent rifle👌🏻
Much appreciated Dave.....you just made my day. Thank you!
Always a joy to watch your videos keep up the good work and hello from australia
Good review! Thanks for making it.
You are very welcome and thank you for watching our video.
Pretty accurate gun around 100 meters with magnum loads. In Brazil I use it with a scout scope and with bore polishing and a trigger job, the 20" version give me 1-2 MOA. It also likes .38 spl loads around 1100 fps.
Well done and nothing better than a father /son team still working together !
These guys are awesome love this channel
Thank you Stacy....we appreciate your great feedback! 👍😎 👍😎
Love the younger pictures of your son, always so much fun, thanks
Good morning Ira. I have lots of pictures of my son and myself when we were much younger and maybe I will include more of these pictures in future videos.
@@mixup98 do it, wonderful
Great video guys!
Another fun one! Thanks for the share!!
Heck yea that looks like a lot of fun. I love my hendry and marlins just happened to be me and my son done some tinkering last week end with our lever rifles. Take care really enjoyed this.
Another fine video. Love the echoes. Great shooting as always 😊
Great little rifle’ I have one I was gifted 20 yrs or so back by my wife’s grandfather’ I have put many a happy mile on it since then and it is still just as nice as the day it left the factory’ 180 hard cast lead for bear on down to .38 for small game’ accuracy is stellar and it puts deer down dead where they stand’ the .357 out of the longer barrel hits like thors hammer.
Great video, thanks for posting.
Nice video guys. I was inspired by your original Rossi92 video years ago to buy a little 16” 357, and I’ve had 3 or 4 variations since. About a year ago I noticed the current Rossi’s had upgraded walnut and polished blue so I picked up a 20” 44mag to pig hunt with. Like you I wasn’t crazy about the rear sight, so replaced it with the FlatTopRear Sight from StevesGunz. It has a small fine adjustment feature that really lets you fine tune your point of impact.
I posted my original Rossi 92 video more than 10 years ago and I'm glad it influenced you to buy 92. I wish I still had that first rifle. Thanks for the suggestion on the FlatTopRear Sight and I will take a look at it. Here is my Rossi 92 video that I posted a decade ago: th-cam.com/video/00Gz6FcY5Vg/w-d-xo.html
That looked like a lot of fun. Can't tell you the last time, I shot a lever action? One of my favorite types of rifles. The little 16 inch carbine, in .357 magnum, would be just perfect. Hopefully, one of these days, I'll be able to find one?
Amazing presentation as always.
Good job on getting rid of the boiled peanuts!😄 Really like your videos!
Love it! Lever actions are really great and fun guns to shoot.
I just bought one of these in stainless. Love it!
Heck !
I thought that was the Duke at first glance
Love your videos
Keep up the good work !
Actually I am related to the great Tom Mix but I will take a Duke comparison any day. Thank you Charles.
Once again a very fun video.
I love lever guns but can't afford or justify having a collection of them.
My solution is to reload for my Winchester 99 in 30-30 with varying loads and bullet sizes.
This allows me to shoot light to heavy recoil loads at very affordable prices.
PS, I added a Marbles Bullseye rear sight to my Model 99 and really like it.
Cool vid u guys! I really want a .357 levergun companion for my 6" stainless GP100. A lot of people may not be aware but you can push a .357 bullet pretty hard with that much barrel. You can get it pretty surprisingly close to 7.62x39 ballistics with the right load.
Your son looks the same just older haha I love it! Great video as always guys!
Sweet little rifle. Thanks for letting us see it
This is definitely on my short list, especially this brand, barrel length & furniture. I like the Citadel Tactical too, but it’s a little salty, also have a Marlin 30/30 with the Big Loop action: excellent for gloved hands in the winter here in NePa. A cautionary warning tho I found researching PCCs which you might want to look into- most hollow point defense rounds are designed for 4”- 6” barrel length pistols and start to open up (mushroom) in shorter lengths. It may be wiser & less expensive, in future regular shooting to swap out those hollow points for ordinary round ball range rounds. Do your own research & LMK what the verdict is? Awesome Shooter, Congratz on this final investment, always enjoy your banter with your #1 Son- both very skilled shooters! Adios
I really love the echo!! 👍
The materializing-in-the-desert entrance had some Neil Breen vibes. 😂
Well then.....I think I will take your comment as a compliment 👍😁
I have one in Triple Black and love it i put a safety delete on mine and had a gunsmith polish it up on the inside and man it is really smooth and shoots very well !!!!!
Hello Mike. I might install a safety delete on mine someday but in the meantime I will just ignore the safety. Thanks for the comment and have a great weekend.
Thanks for sharing , I went out and bought one , Extremely Happy with it too.
Great to hear! 😎👌
Hey, it’s nice to see Junior give them a thumbs up for me👍👍👍
I have the exact same rifle, very nice shooting rifle. Love that style. Thanks for the video.
Always great to see Mixup and son 🤠🤠👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 fantastic rifle you have there my friend....got to love the 357...be safe out there gentleman see you again soon
I’ve owned five since the early 90s. Still have 2, one 44 Mag the other 357
Mag. I’ve taken deer with the 357. Had the Marlins too but I like the Winchester 92 platform better.
Love the echo. Sweet rifle. Thanks, Mixup & Son!
You are very welcome Harry and we thank you for watching our video.
Great video!!! Love it!
Amazing gun! Amazing sound!! Nice... Nice!!!
I have the R92 regular loop. I have mixed 38 special with 357 and have never experienced any problem with feeding. One of my favorite rifles.
Love your guys videos what cool little rifle I have one in 45 cult….
Great, thanks from 🇧🇷.
Excelent Shooters, congrats.
Really love my Rpssi R92 in .45 Colt 20 inch especially shooting as it is lighter than my Henrys. Most accurate open sight lever action I own. Nice that you found the shorter version with a Large Loop Lever. I have a Henry large loop Big Boy Carbine in .38/.357 however it is like 7.5 lbs or so making it a bit heavier than those nice light Rossis. MIssed picking up a Rossi R92 in .38/.357 in the past, but time to start looking again. Fun shooting. Thanks mixup98 & son.
Your Star Trek beaming in great. 😎. Way cool gun. Lever action ohhhh yea ……Love your channel. Relaxing ,,,,, thanks for all the info.
Another great video boys! Ya' know, the fit and finish of a reliable firearm is forgivable when it can be counted on. I didn't re-blue my old lever action because I can be a superstitious ol' coot. The rifle is so comfortable, balanced and accurate I didn't want to jinx it. I take care of it, it looks and shoots great and that's what matters to me. Keep the videos comin' boys, I sure enjoy watching them.
We love making our videos and we are glad that you enjoy watching them.....thank you! 👍🤠 👍😎
Nice rifle!! I am still kicking myself for not buying one back in the early 1980s. Good shooting.
Good show. Thanks.
Most welcome and thank you for watching our video.
My concern with 92s has always been the difficult disassembly/reassembly process. These have gone way up in price but probably one of the most affordable options.
I have the R92, but with the 20 inch barrel. LOVE IT. Also, the barrel and receiver are silver color. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Shoots great too. I only use 38 special, just because it's cheaper, no problems with it feeding unless I short-stroke it. I replaced the buckhorn sites with peep hole sites, MUCH better, but it was dead accurate right out of the box.
Wonderful little gun
I just need one of these! Maybe .44. Or maybe both? Lol Cool video brother. Thank you for sharing.
God bless all here.
That is a nice rifle. I would like to get one someday. Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding as always!!!
Thanks again Bill.
I have a stainless 16 inch 357 Rossi and it is a great little handy size rifle. Definitely a keeper
