Rossi R92 357 Mag Lever Action Rifle With Wood Stock

Overview

The Rossi R92 357 Mag lever action rifle with wood stock represents a refined evolution of the classic Winchester 1892 design, purpose-built for modern shooters. Chambered in .357 Magnum, this rifle offers the versatility of also cycling .38 Special rounds, making it an ideal choice for both target practice and field use. The wood stock and forend are crafted from Brazilian hardwood, finished with a durable satin lacquer that protects against Florida’s humid climate. The action is smooth and reliable, utilizing a modified toggle-link system that cycles both magnum and special loads without adjustment. This rifle is a direct descendant of John Browning’s original 1892 patent, now produced by Rossi under strict quality control standards in their Brazil facility. For Florida shooters, the Rossi R92 provides a compact, fast-handling platform that excels in dense brush, vehicle storage, and ranch work.

Features & Specs

The Rossi R92 357 Mag lever action rifle with wood stock delivers a combination of historical accuracy and modern manufacturing precision. The 20-inch round barrel is button-rifled with a 1:30 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing both 158-grain .357 Magnum loads and lighter .38 Special target ammunition. The tubular magazine holds 10 rounds of .357 Magnum or 11 rounds of .38 Special, providing ample capacity for extended range sessions. The lever throw is short and crisp, with a forged steel bolt that locks into the barrel extension for a positive, repeatable seal. The rear sight is a semi-buckhorn style with a brass bead front, adjustable for elevation and windage. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope mount, though the low-profile iron sights are designed for rapid acquisition at typical engagement distances under 150 yards.

Who It’s For

This lever action rifle is specifically designed for Florida residents who require a dependable, low-maintenance firearm for property defense, hog hunting, or range plinking. The .357 Magnum chambering provides sufficient energy for white-tailed deer and feral hogs at typical Florida woodland distances, while the .38 Special compatibility allows for economical practice. The compact 20-inch barrel and 6.2-pound weight make it easy to maneuver in vehicle cabs, ATV scabbards, and tight hunting stands. The wood stock offers a traditional feel that reduces felt recoil compared to synthetic stocks, while the satin finish resists moisture damage during Florida’s frequent rain events. This rifle is equally suited for the collector seeking a period-appropriate design and the practical shooter who values reliability over novelty.

• Ideal for Florida ranch owners, hunters, and sport shooters who need a versatile, fast-firing carbine
• Suited for both .357 Magnum defensive loads and .38 Special target loads without adjustment
• Traditional wood and steel construction with no polymer components that degrade in direct sunlight
