Rossi R92 44 Mag Lever-Action Rifle With Stainless Barrel and Brazilian Hardwood Stock

The Rossi R92 44 Mag lever-action rifle with stainless barrel and Brazilian hardwood stock is a modern interpretation of the classic Winchester 1892 action, scaled specifically for the .44 Magnum cartridge. Manufactured by Rossi, this rifle combines traditional lever-gun ergonomics with corrosion-resistant stainless steel components. The Brazilian hardwood stock provides a durable, hand-filling grip while maintaining the lightweight profile expected from a saddle carbine. Chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, this model accepts both .44 Magnum and .44 Special ammunition, offering versatility for range work, field carry, or home defense applications within California’s legal framework for non-semiautomatic long guns.

Overview

Built on Rossi’s proven R92 platform, the rossi r92 44 mag lever-action rifle with stainless barrel and brazilian hardwood stock features a 20-inch round stainless barrel with a 1:38-inch twist rate, optimized for stabilizing standard .44 caliber projectiles. The action utilizes a forged steel receiver with a blued finish that contrasts with the bright stainless barrel, creating a two-tone aesthetic. The tubular magazine holds 10 rounds of .44 Magnum or 11 rounds of .44 Special, depending on cartridge overall length. The Brazilian hardwood stock is finished with a satin lacquer and features a straight-grip wrist and a crescent buttplate. This rifle ships with adjustable open sights and is drilled and tapped for scope mounting, accommodating both traditional and modern sighting systems.

Who It's For

The rossi r92 44 mag lever-action rifle with stainless barrel and brazilian hardwood stock is designed for the California shooter seeking a centerfire lever-action that meets state legal requirements for non-semiautomatic, fixed-magazine long guns. This rifle is appropriate for recreational target shooters who appreciate the manual cycling of a lever action, hunters pursuing deer or wild pig within California’s legal hunting zones using straight-wall cartridges in designated areas, and collectors of historical lever-action designs adapted for modern metallurgy. The .44 Magnum chambering provides sufficient energy for medium game at typical brush-country ranges under 150 yards, while the .44 Special option allows for reduced-recoil practice. The stainless barrel appeals to shooters who store firearms in variable humidity conditions or who frequent coastal shooting ranges.
