Rossi .357 Magnum Lever Action Rifle

[chrisinoc]

I found a Rossi .357 magnum lever action rifle for $550 today at a local gun store Good deal if you are looking for a rifle of this type? It is stainless steel and with a 20" barrel. I have been unable to find a .357 magnum level action rifle anywhere in southern California, regardless of manufacturer.

That’s about the going rate. Esp. in stainless.

I wouldn’t call it a “good deal,” but it is a fair price. What is its intended use?

May be a good deal if it's been manufactured since the takeover by Taurus. I had a Rossi .357 revolver a couple years ago that was utter crap. The timimg was terrible and it would lock up like a vault from time to time. Getting it repaired to function properly would have cost just as much as the original purchase.

I would recommend Hornady LEVERevolution ammo for your rifle. It's made specifically for that type. It has good performance specs, as well.

Not a great price but not out of sight either. Is it new?

Are you looking specifically for a lever action .357 mag rifle?

Reason I ask is that as a rifle it's sort of underpowered and that ammo is hard to find and expensive unless you roll your own.

its a model 92 winchester clone.....anything that can be used for cowboy action shooting is usually more expensive than those of similar quality that cant be used for CAS.

that is not a bad price for that weapon. right now original model 92 winchesters are through the roof....good clones are pretty high too...

What do you think of the HENRY Lever Action 44 Magnum Rifle?
Bought it new and liked that it is 100% USA Made in Newark, NJ.

My bro had one back in the 80’s. Blued barrel but. Great little rifle.

Not as good as my Browning BL92 Lever-action (44 Mag) though

[BornToBeAmerican]

Don’t want to hijack this thread, but is/was the Browning BL92 available here inthe US?

Rossi makes a good weapon. I’ve had a .38Spl for almost 20yrs, put 1000’s of rounds through it. Very accurate and reliable. That rifle sounds like fun.

I love it, an engraved model about $1,500

Look for a lever action 308 instead.

I think a lever action .357 Mag/38 spl would have different uses from a lever action .308. The .357 in a 20 inch barrel is really accurate and hits a lot harder than from a 4 or 6 inch revolver.

[valkyry1]

There yah go!

My cousin has one, real happy with it I hear.

[Rio]

that’s probably full retail. stainless adds to the value. as mentioned, this is a rifle in demand by Cowboy Action Shooters (I am one). They are a blast to shoot. It’s always nice to have one caliber for both rifle and pistol.
Anyway, Rossi 92’s have a good reputation in CAS. If you get it, there are some things that you can do to “slick it up.”

“that ammo is hard to find and expensive...”
Must be a Pennsylvania thing. I can’t go into any store in Oregon that sells ammo that doesn’t carry .357. All reasonably priced too:)
