Rossi R92 357 Magnum Lever-Action Rifle With Octagonal Barrel

There is something genuinely satisfying about a lever-action that loads, shoots, and handles like a classic piece of American iron, but doesn’t ask you to take out a second mortgage to own one. The Rossi R92 357 Magnum lever-action rifle with octagonal barrel brings that old-west silhouette into a practical, modern shooting package. Chambered in .357 Magnum, this rifle lets you also run .38 Special through the tube, making range days more affordable and plinking more accessible. It is a rifle that rewards repetition, and once you work that lever a few times, you will understand why this platform has stuck around for over a century.

Overview

The Rossi R92 357 Magnum lever-action rifle with octagonal barrel is a faithful reproduction of the classic Winchester 1892 design, built with modern manufacturing tolerances and a price point that makes sense for the working shooter. The 20-inch octagonal barrel gives the rifle a distinctive, weight-forward balance that settles naturally into the offhand position. It comes with a tubular magazine that holds ten rounds of .357 Magnum, giving you solid firepower for a lever gun. The action cycles smoothly right out of the box, and the blued finish is clean and consistent. This is a rifle that looks good hanging on the wall, but performs better when you are running it hard at the range or in the field.

Features & Specs

Rossi builds the R92 around a forged steel receiver and a machined bolt, so you are not dealing with cast pot metal or stamped parts that rattle loose. The octagonal barrel is button-rifled for consistent accuracy, and the buckhorn rear sight with a brass bead front sight gives you a quick, intuitive sight picture. The crescent buttplate is period-correct and works fine for shoulder-fired shooting with .38 Special loads, while .357 Magnum rounds are still manageable due to the rifle’s overall heft.

• Caliber: .357 Magnum / .38 Special +P compatibility
• Barrel length: 20-inch octagonal profile, button-rifled
• Magazine capacity: 10 rounds (tubular steel magazine)
• Overall length: 37.5 inches, weight approximately 6.5 pounds
• Sights: Buckhorn rear, brass bead front (drilled and tapped for scope base)
• Stock: Brazilian hardwood with satin finish, crescent buttplate

The Rossi R92 357 Magnum lever-action rifle with octagonal barrel also features a four-position hammer safety and a half-cock notch, giving you multiple layers of handling security. The loading gate is smooth and does not chew up your thumb after a few reloads. The action uses a two-piece firing pin design common to the 92 platform, and the overall fitment between the stock and receiver is tight with no ugly gaps.

• Receiver: Forged steel, blued finish
• Action type: Lever-action, side ejection
• Safety: Hammer block with half-cock position
• Twist rate: 1:30-inch, optimized for common bullet weights

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the shooter who wants a dependable lever-action that can pull double duty. Run it in local cowboy action matches, carry it on a deer hunt inside 100 yards, or take it to the range for a relaxing afternoon burning through .38 Special reloads. The Ross R92 357 Magnum lever-action rifle with octagonal barrel is also a strong choice for the new lever-gun shooter who wants an authentic feel without spending over a grand. It is not a safe queen. It is meant to be shot, carried, and handed down. If you already own a .357 revolver, this rifle makes perfect sense as a companion gun because you are sharing ammunition and components.

• Ideal for cowboy action shooters, deer hunters, and plinkers
• Great match for .357 Magnum or .38 Special revolver owners
• Suitable for new lever-action shooters looking for an authentic classic
• Not recommended for magnum-only shooters wanting a lightweight carbine
