Chambered in .357 Magnum, this lever gun lets you shoot both .357 and the milder .38 Special, making it a versatile choice for range days, plinking, or home defense.

Whether you are a seasoned shooter or new to lever actions, this rifle offers a smooth, reliable action that feels natural from the first time you work the lever. Built by Rossi, a name trusted for value and durability, the R92 is a solid entry in the lever-action category that punches above its weight class.

Overview

The Rossi R92 .357 Mag Lever Action Rifle Large Loop is a compact, easy-to-handle rifle that pays homage to the classic Winchester 92 design. Its 20-inch barrel and tubular magazine give it a balanced feel whether you are shouldering it in the field or at the range. The large loop lever is a game-changer for shooters who need extra clearance for thick gloves or prefer a faster, more aggressive cycling motion. With a walnut-finished hardwood stock and blued steel receiver, it looks the part of a traditional lever gun while delivering modern reliability. Chambered in .357 Magnum, you get the punch of a magnum revolver cartridge in a long gun platform, plus the option to run inexpensive .38 Special for lower recoil practice.

Features & Specs

This rifle is built around the proven Rossi R92 action, known for its smooth, reliable cycling. The large loop lever is not just a cosmetic upgrade; it provides an extra inch of clearance, making it easier to keep a firm grip while working the action quickly. The 20-inch barrel is rifled for accuracy with both .357 and .38 Special loads, and the buckhorn rear sight paired with a brass bead front sight gives you a clear, fast sight picture.
