Rossi R92 20” stainless 357

So posting this on this forum almost seems to be sacrilegious. How do newer Rossi rifles perform and what issues do they have? I can pick one up for $650. Is that a good buy?

At that price I would hope that the quality is better. I paid less than $300 for mine 10 years ago. Took some work but it’s holding up well.

It's ok.

From what I've read about the newer ones has been all good.
I have a pair of the older Puma Rossi rifles that I like quite well.
I think $650 would be a fair price, and the 357 is very fun and capable round. Especially from a lever gun.

No lever discrimination here, most of us have other brands that we enjoy. Also lots of discussion of all types of firearms.

The Puma Rossi was a better gun IMHO than the new ones. I wont buy one because I have owned a couple of Taurus made products and there customer service is non existent. YMMV

I've had a Rossi R92 20" 357 Mag. in stainless for going on 3 years now. It's been a great shooting gun. Function wise it's was good out of the box, but the action was very gritty. I took it apart and did a little stone work and with use it's now nice and smooth. It will feed any round I put in it from 38 Spl 158 gr RNFP and 357 Mag. Since I don't hunt I don't bother with jacket ammo, I just use the MB 158 gr. Hi-Tek coated bullets. It's very light weight compared to my Henry BBS in 357 Mag. It moves and swings to get on target very fast. Very much a fun gun to play with at the range.

As far as price goes, $650 is most likely the going rate in todays market. I paid $525 when I bought mine, but all gun prices keep going up. I've seen a them priced at almost $800 in some small gun shops.

So $650 total, it’s now mine. Very nice is my 1st impression. Really like the weight.
