Rossi R92. BUY IT! If you can find one…
I finally went shooting and I can say that the Rossi R92 is a good buy and worth the money. Thank you to the folks over at Henry Repeating Arms for the gear that was sent to me for a special milestone in my life. I appreciate that. I can wear the gear while enjoying my fine Henry rifle. I must also mention that although I did not get any footage of the Rossi being fired because I wanted to pay attention to safety. With that being said everyone was very safe and we had a good time. Cant wait to go back.
Buy the Henry I had the Rossi and sold it.
I pick them up every time my local store brings one in. It seems my luck ran out on the 4th one, my 45LC. Won’t fully pull the cartridge, it jumps off about a quarter inch out and it seems that the lever doesn’t fully close. My suspicion is an extractor/ejector issue. Going back for warranty but I love my Rossi’s.
Wanted a Henry 357 case colored side gate. But couldn’t get one. ( Not paying 1600 bucks for one.)
So I found a pre safety R92 online. Not at a decent price, I’m afraid. Im fine with it and am ending my search.
Agree on the Henry butt plate. The thick one is ugly.
Ive been lucky to find two Rossi’s this year. My .357/38 at a local shop.
The stainless .44 at Grab a gun. Paid @650 for each. Love them both
Thanks for the video…I’ve been drooling over one at my local shop. It has the short barrel and is done in stainless steel. The action feels silky-smooth. I could not believe how light it is! The Henry is a beauty, and built like a tank, but is also noticeably heavier. The octagon barrel probably has a lot to do with that.
What is a good or in your opinion, price ???? Anything that should send up red flags, that I should look out for ???
Couldn’t find the Rossi for about two full years. Bought a JM Marlin .44 magnum 1894 instead from a friend.
Rossi certainly isn’t bad, especially not if you know how to do a slick job. But the difference in fit and finish with the JM Marlin made all the difference in the world.
They make them in .41 magnum, my fav caliber. Made in the USA
Rossi is basically the only affordable budget lever rifle in the market. Marlin, Winchester and Hentry are very expensive. But you pay what get for it.
These arent hard to find!! Braztech models are everwhere!! Find you an Interarms Rossi if you want a nice one with good wood!! I own two interarms models!! Both 16 inch, one standard and one medallion model with large loop and saddle ring!! Both pre safety!!
My local dealer is selling them for $699.00 , that’s right up there with Henry and Remington in price . And I’m not paying $700 for a Taurus gun. I know they had to pay for all the new equipment , but that’s crazy . You’d have to be desperate to pay that. Peace.
Had one and ended up trading it +cash for a desert eagle. Kinda regret it. (But the desert eagle is fucking incredible lmao)
I agree with you,I have the R92 in both 357/38 and 44 mag. Both great guns. I also picked up a 44 mag. In a ranch hand.
That is really nice of Henry rep. to do.
I bought one in .44mag… got it $100 off retail simply because the mag tube guide got stuck half way down. It was the screw….it had a super small dent so the guide got stuck…got a brass one and filed it down till it slide freely. This thing is sweet. The 92 in any caliber is def worth the money.
Got the 454 Casull !
I bought one around 25 years ago and have shot it a few times. Mine is in 44mag. and will make a guy start to flinch after a few rounds. But those first 5 shots are dead nutz on the mark.
Uncle Browning gets all credit, the model 92s are amazing!
Yeah, Henry is a good company. They send me things now and then. I tell them when I need new decals for my Jeep and they send them.
I have both, the Henry Big Boy is an all brass model with tube loading only.
The Henry is without a doubt a better quality rifle through and through.
I’m not saying the Rossi is junk, so calm down.
The tube loading is not an issue, it’s quick and takes no effort, you can can quick loading tube round holders.
The side loading gate on the Rossi is a bit tricky at times, anyone with a Rossi knows what I’m talking about, but it does work none the less.
To empty a full tube is alo no issue with the Henry, just open the tube and let them slide out, in the Rossi, you have to cycle the action for every round.
The Henry is side ejection, mounting an optic is simple, the Rossi is top ejection, so mounting an optic is a bit more of a problem.
The Rossi is lighter, much lighter and easier to carry than the Henry, however the weight of the Henry takes the recoil much better when firing +P ammo but it will still tenderize your shoulder.
Nope. I’ll never buy another Rossi product again. I had one blow up in my face. And the people at Rossi Braztec were absolutely horrible about it. I even sent then the rifle to be replaced or refunded. They had the unmitigated nerve to send that dangerous junk back Unrepaired
Avoid Rossi like the plague! They can be just as dangerous
I over paid for one here lately, but when i shot it the performance and enjoyability of it helped heal the pain. Paid 1k fir old new stock never been shot. Is what it is. Wait, or pony up and get what you want when you actually see it
Looking through all the YT videos on the R92. Stumbled on your video. Nice video. I just happened to pick up a R92 357 in stainless. I’ve always wanted a 357 carbine. Finally found one, and it just happened to be about as new as a 10 year old rifle could be. Got it as a shooter, so I dissembled it, polished up everything, and cut some of the magazine spring off. Taking off some of the spring has made loading so much easier. It’s honestly my favorite rifle now, something about a PCC lever gun. Now I have to find a 44 mag to go with my Ruger Alaskan. Thanks for the video sir!
Can you spell the place you got the sling from
been trying to find one for almost a year now. no luck here on the communist coast.
I have 2 of them, a 357 Magnum and one in 454 Casull. I love them both, the 357 gets the most rounds for obvious reasons and the 454 over the last 10 years has accounted for 6 deer, no tracking. Fit and finish is excellent, the actions are very smooth and I doubt those that knock these rifles have ever handled them. I have close to 2000 rounds through the 357, it’s an absolute tack driver and has digested everything I’ve fed it, little pea popper 38’s to 180 gr. 357’s, factory and handloads. Never missed a beat, best deal on the market.
Just got mine in 454 casull
Your Rossi R92 is identical to mine. I have the R92 with the 20" barrel as well and love it! Purchased my R92 about 5 years ago.
Picked up a .357 three years ago, had a choice between a Blued steel vs. SS. Took the blued, often wonder if I should have taken the SS but has never missed a beat at the range .38 to .357.
Man I picked up a Rosi 92 in .357 /38sp 2 weeks ago in stainless with the 16 in barrel and it is such a nice looking and easy to handle rifle. Super happy with it.
What sling is that? I just got mine home and have not even shot it yet.
Mine is a 20 inch 45 Colt. It can be a beast or a lamb if you reload. This was my first 92 action, and I’m in love. It’s slick as can be and accurate to boot.
Just got the 20 inch .454 Casull in ss, action is like butter and cycles .45 Colt like a dream, can’t wait to take her out
These are great little rifles. My 16” .357 runs like a champ and eats anything I put into it.
I bought r92 triple black .357 it shoots well. I like it
A friend is selling me one, says it’s picky about feeding .38s I’ve been researching fixes.
Even if it only likes eating .357 I love these little carbines.
The .357 R92 all but dried up in my area.
BTW, earned my sub.
Long time no say hello! How’s it going brother? I started a new job and haven’t had time for too much extracurricular activities, but now that rifle season is around the corner, I’m mentally preparing myself to use the rifle as is, with open sights for the first time hunting.
How have you been? Are you hunting this year? It’s me, your 100th subscriber if you don’t remember me. Have you tinkered with fabricating a front sight hood for our babies?
I own two Rossi 92s, both in 44 mag. One is blue(?), The other one is stainless steel. I completely went through the blue one and refinished the furniture, receiver and barrel. I also slicked up the internals. The stainless one I left alone. Both were bought new and are a good value for the money. And they are excellent shooters. But neither one can match my Henry Big Boy Silver, in 44 mag, especially for quality. Henry is a Rolls Royce compared to Rossi’s Volkswagen. Both will get the job done but Henry is so much nicer. Say hello to Anthony for me. He is first class. Just like his product.
Purchased a rossi .357 16 inch 92 bout 8 mouths ago. Love it, I actually shoot it better than my Ruger pc carbine. My first rifle was a winchester 94 wrangler 30-30 back in 1985. The Rossi stacks up very well with the winchester 94. SWEET RIFLE.
Love my Rossi R92.
WOW! WAS IT ANTHONY, THE BOSS?
I know who you spoke with, he communicated with me as well, paid attention to my input, and also sent me some nice “merch.” What a quality operation!
henry is a good company
I do wanna have one but its very difficult to find one here in the CA , besides the price rocket up as well ! The only down-side of R92 is that there is no rail to mount a scope or a red dot …. Hope the factory will modify it in the near future.
How’s the trigger? I heard they can be really gritty out of the box.
Man that is awesome they hooked you up!!!! Great video. Thank you. Sweet shooters ya got. I have a Henry Golden boy cant wait to shoot it when ammo comes back where I can get to shoot more than just a box.
I picked up a pre 1995 Interarms Rossi Puma 92, and I have to say – there are some QC and fitment issues – wood to metal finish is…not great.
That being said, it’s a damn fun gun, and it works. The action is pretty smooth. Shoots straight. Loads 357 and 38 sp without problems.
I picked up one at Turners a few months ago. LOVE IT! Added a scope rail, and a red dot. I want the 44Mag R92 now!
