Love my Rossi R92's. All of mine are blued and I've removed the silly flip safety and replaced them with buttons on all - as well as replaced the plastic mag followers with stainless steel ones - now they're about perfect.
Just got one in 44 mag, lol I wish I had bought more back when they where around 300 bucks. One of my favorite deer 🦌 rifles is my Rossi rio grande in 30-30, Rossi makes some excellent lever actions and their quality has grown over the years.
Thanks Dude your video was the deciding video ,purchased my Rossi 92 44 mag 16". performed at the range like a professional. Was looking for home defense I believe I can defend my property.Thanks again, great video 🎉
Thank you for watching. Can't go wrong with the 44 mag 16 inch. You can plink/practice with 44 spl and defend with 44 mag. I'm glad you enjoyed it and happy to help.
Got a 24" R92SS, octagonal barrel 357/38 three weeks ago, and it's amazing accurate and gorgeous and no issues whatsoever. Even loads shorter flat nose 38 special, 1.4 inch or less with no problems or eject issues. And didn't bleed all over the place loading ammo. Forget the TH-cam BS negative reviews.
I purchased mine at the beginning of the year. I considered the .357, but finally opted for the .45 Colt blued 24", and converted to a rear ghost sight. Very comfortable to shoot.
Got the 24" R92SS, 38/357 octagonal barrel little over 4 months ago and it's amazing accurate and eye candy gorgeous and no issues whatsoever. Been to the range several times already with different ammo. Even loads shorter flat nose 38 special, 125 gr, 1.4 inch or less with no loading problems or eject issues. The quality and functionality is way up there, probably as good as Henry or Winchester that are manufactured these days and sure is sexier.
Yes! Glad you really enjoy it! I have Puma Rossi carbine in 45LC with the large loop. I’ve read in several places that our newer steels can handle much hotter loads then the impotent cowboy loads. Wouldn’t want to run them all the time, but good to know for defense purposes.
I saw this rifle at a local show a while back. LIked it, but I felt the seller was asking a bit too much for it. Looking back, I should have went ahead and bought it as I haven't seen any of them in stock since.
These rifles go pretty fast in my area because ammo (38/357) is available and good price. Next time you see it I recommend picking it up, good shooter.
When you were shooting the jug I saw something hitting the up high on the hill/back stop. I wonder if the bullet was skipping off the ground or if it was pitching rocks up there
Get the 454 Casull, if you can find it and have the best of both worlds, especially if you reload. Otherwise, the .44 Mag is cheaper to shoot and you have the option of .44 Sprecial.
Nice! I love your videos brother. My LGS has a few of the blued version in stock. I'm really tempted to pick one up. I don't currently own anything in 38/357, though .357 is my favorite caliber.
Hits hard. Shoots fast and accurate. Can take pretty much anywhere. Puts 357 revolver to shame in the velocity Dept. If you know how to use one, you are not helpless. Can be link with 38s , use 357?for serious business.If you reload , can shoot up 100 rounds for under $20, provided you were smart enough to stock up on components before the price gouging. Even with today’s prices a lot cheaper than factory ammo
Try Badman Bullets, their 157 FN cast bullet is my go to 38/357. Can be pushed to 1600 fps, and feeds in 38 spl cases in 1892 clones Marlin 1894, Browning 92
Even 38 or 357 will stop any anti America socialist or communist or a flaming liberal. Got a 24" R92SS, octagonal barrel a little over a month ago, and it's amazing accurate and gorgeous and no issues whatsoever.talking about fun rifle to soot.

I've had my 20" R92SS more than 5 years, enjoyable to shoot. Bought a ranch hand for the wife, just for fun. I'm a Veteran and a Liberal, but not on fire.
Hey GACplinking. You may not want to tell me, and if not that's OK, but where are you shooting at? Your hat suggests Southern California. It looks like you have found a nice out-of-the-way place to shoot. I'd like to know, if possible.
Had to do some hand fitting to get mine to work correctly. I talked to Rossie, they told me that they have no plans to take up production again. So, if you want one, it will be hard to find and whatever the price, that is what you will have to pay. I had to pay three times the original new price.
I rememeber 5 years back my buddy had one that needed a little comestic work but worked good out of the box. As in no more production on all R92s? That would really suck, the r92 is a great platform levergun. They are still a little less then other lever guns. 👍
@@johnr4898 in my opinion the 357/38 and the 44mag/44spl are great versatile r92. You can plink with the spl rounds and hunt/defense with the mag rounds. I hope they bring it back.
@johnr4898 these rifles are all New in stock on certain sites, and many are on gunbroker. At good prices too. Getting 1 in .454 for only $900(they were (1,600 on gunbroker used last cpl yrs). I've been waiting 2 yrs, and they are finally available, so I don't know why they told you they weren't making more.
I don't know if it's true but I have seen some statements saying that rossi's land and grooves (rifling) in some barrels are wider cut then others. That could be why yours is more accurate with that bullet weight. 👍
This isn't remotely true- most handguns are severely under-gunned, both in accuracy & stopping power, by nearly any rifle, including this one. Same deal with a handgun vs a pump shotgun- which the action is generally slower, might I add, then a lever action. Handguns are tools made for you to fight your way to your long gun of choice.
Funny the only home invasion in my life was at my group home but that was a runaway client who broke in while everyone was gone I guess always owning nothing of value and having gaurd dogs pays off because I haven't experienced one in 25 years and still counting and I live in tweekervill

They are work horses of rifles. Fun plinkers with 38spl and good for defense with 357mag.
Thanks. What were your sources for the safety replacement and magazine follower?

44 mag is a great choice. Still can't go wrong with the price compared to other lever guns and. Rossi has definitely raised the QC.
Very nice shooting! Love all of or Rossi 92's.

I never had any issues running magnums. These lever rifles are built strong.
@@gacplinking22 thanks for reply and validation 👍
I'm a 357 guy myself, that said a cowboy action from a carbine would be more than enough from a carbine. It still packs more punch than a 45acp.
@@timothyprice9064 100% agreed 👍
Some smooth action! Definitely love them lever guns!
Just like sliding on ice. Old action firearms have soul to them.
I have one in 44mag 20" great gun for hunting up to 75-100yds ,and médium range up to 50yds for self defense!!
44 mag is a great choice. You can plink with 44 spl and defend or hunt with 44 mag.

Even available and legal in Australia.
Yes they are. I've seen videos where you can own a modern lever action 12 gauge.
New Zealand too😊
Surprising, I thought your tyrannical governments had banned almost everything by now, but I'm sure they will get around too it.
Love my Rossi R92 in .357/38.
Fun
Love that rifle! I need to pick one up. I would make a perfect truck gun for me.
It's a great truck gun.
R92 for home defense,Oh yes,Got one, Stainless steel ,20 in. barrel 454 Casull, within arm reach, by the bed. 👍
R92 in 454 casull is a badass carbine. Rare carbine to find in my area.
Perfect for the Idaho and Montana dark woods, but hard to find here. I had to order one from back East.@@gacplinking22
When you were shooting the jug I saw something hitting the up high on the hill/back stop. I wonder if the bullet was skipping off the ground or if it was pitching rocks up there
The projectile skipping.
I just ordered mine as we speak 16” blued
Fun lever action, have fun be safe.
@@gacplinking22 thanks brother I just need a lever action plinker that won't break the bank

I'm about to buy one 45 lc or the 44 mag in stainless?
Cant go wrong with either or, both are good.

People say the spring in the mag is pretty tight and makes hard to load. What is your experience?
It is, but nothing that can't be fixed. I loaded the mag tube and left it loaded for about 2 months. It worked out good for me.
I've read Rossi uses the same spring in the 20" gun and possibly the 24" gun, making it a little stiff in the 16" gun.
Picket up an R92 a few weeks ago in the grey laminate with the pic rail... no problems with the loading gate
@@budman3890 correct cut 10 coils off.
I did a Palo Verde spring kit.

My Rossi is more accurate with 158 grain bullets over lighter hollowpoints.
