Rossi R92 357 MAG Lever Action Rifle — Classic Lever-Action Speed, Modern Field Practicality

Rossi R92 357 MAG

The Rossi R92 357 MAG Lever Action Rifle blends Old West handling with modern reliability in a compact, fast-cycling platform that excels in the woods, on the range, and around the homestead. Built by Rossi on the proven Model 92 pattern, this rifle is chambered in .357 Magnum—giving shooters the versatility to run both .357 Magnum and .38 Special with smooth feeding and mild recoil.

At TASTYTSUNAMI, we value firearms that are as practical as they are enjoyable to shoot. The Rossi R92 fits that philosophy perfectly: lightweight, quick to shoulder, intuitive to operate, and extremely effective inside typical hunting and utility distances.

Why the .357 Magnum Shines in a Lever Gun

Pairing .357 Magnum with a carbine-length barrel unlocks performance many shooters don’t expect. Velocity increases over handgun lengths, recoil stays manageable, and accuracy becomes surprisingly impressive out to 100+ yards.

Compatible with .357 Magnum and .38 Special
Increased velocity from the rifle barrel
Low recoil for fast follow-up shots
Affordable practice with .38 Special
Effective for deer-sized game at practical ranges (where legal)

This dual-caliber flexibility makes the Rossi R92 one of the most economical and versatile rifles you can own.

Fast, Smooth Lever-Action Cycling

Rossi R92 357 MAG

The Model 92 action is famous for its strength and smoothness. The Rossi R92 preserves that heritage with a tight, reliable action that feeds consistently from the tubular magazine through the side loading gate.

Short, quick lever throw
Positive cartridge feeding
Classic side loading gate
Tubular magazine for ample capacity
Intuitive manual of arms

In the field, this translates to speed and confidence when a follow-up shot is needed.

Compact, Lightweight, and Perfectly Balanced

The Rossi R92’s carbine profile makes it ideal for dense woods, brush, and treestand hunting. It carries easily in one hand and shoulders naturally when game appears suddenly.

Lightweight for all-day carry
Slim profile for brush and timber
Excellent balance point between the hands
Quick target acquisition at close range

This is a rifle that feels alive in your hands.

Traditional Wood and Blued Steel Aesthetics

A warm hardwood stock paired with a deep blued finish gives the Rossi R92 timeless appeal. Beyond looks, the materials are durable and field-proven.

Hardwood stock with classic lines
Blued steel for corrosion resistance
Textured grip from natural wood grain
A rifle you’ll be proud to pass down

Iron Sights Built for Practical Accuracy

The factory iron sights are fast and usable, ideal for the distances where the .357 Magnum excels.

Drift-adjustable rear sight
High-visibility front sight
Excellent sight radius for a compact rifle
Ready to run without optics

Many shooters find they never need to add a scope.

Ideal Uses for the Rossi R92 357 MAG Lever Action Rifle

Application	Why It Excels
Whitetail in thick woods	Fast handling and sufficient power
Hog hunting	Quick follow-up shots and maneuverability
Ranch or property rifle	Reliable, simple, and durable
Range fun	Low recoil and inexpensive ammo
New shooters	Easy manual of arms and soft shooting

Reliable Tubular Magazine System

The under-barrel magazine provides generous capacity while keeping the rifle slim and balanced.

Smooth spring tension for feeding
Easy top-off through loading gate
No detachable parts to lose in the field

Recoil Control and Shootability

The weight, stock geometry, and pistol-caliber chambering combine to create a rifle that is extremely comfortable to shoot. This encourages more practice—and better field performance.

Practical Hunting Performance

Inside 100–125 yards, the .357 Magnum from a rifle delivers reliable penetration and expansion with proper hunting loads. For wooded environments, it’s exceptionally effective and far quieter and softer-shooting than high-powered rifle calibers.
