Tired of suggestions falling on DEAF Ears

Post by Vaquero » Sat Feb 01, 2025 2:25 pm

I may be the only one here that has made this particular suggestion, ;) but to no avail. It's something I really have no need for, but as a lot of us say. What does need have to do with it. :? :lol: okay, okay.
Some may know that Rossi :roll: introduced a new line of leverguns recently, the R95.
If you didn't know it's a clone of Marlins 336/1895 model and comes in a few calibers and 2 different barrel lengths.
A 20" and a trapper with a 16.25".
Well a couple days ago I came across a trapper in one of my favorite calibers.... drum roll please.
The mighty 444 :shock: :o
I have 2 Marlins in this particular cal., and as I stated above have no need for another, but wanted one.
So now I have 3 with 3 different barre lengths this 16, an 18.5 ported and a 22".
I suspect this one will be as load if not loader than the ported version. :lol:
We are in SC visiting the youngest daughter and family, and will be headed home tomorrow. I have no ammo here to try so a range report will have to wait for a couple days.
I will say though the action is as smooth as an Henry I own.
Trigger just a bit stiff, but crisp. Guessing I'd say around 4 lbs. The furniture looks pretty good to comparing to some of the older Rossis I've seen in the past.

Damn that's a nice-looking rifle. I like a pistol grip stock on a lever gun, beautiful wood furniture too. I've often wondered how Henry compared to competitors on the smoothness of their actions. On the longer cartridges, you really notice any glitches in the travel and appreciate when it feels right.

Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor? It sure looks like it is.

Nice looking rifle in a very potent chambering.
That thing looks like it means business.
