Rossi R95 950357161Tb 357Mag 16.5 8R Trpl Blk

The Rossi R95 in .357 Magnum is a lever-action rifle built for shooters who want straight-shooting reliability in a compact, handy platform. With a 16.5-inch barrel and 8-round capacity, this triple-black finish rifle delivers the fast, intuitive handling that lever guns are known for—ideal for hunting, sport shooting, or farm work where you need quick follow-up shots and minimal footprint. Rossi's R95 line carries on a tradition of affordable, durable lever-actions that punch above their weight class for the money.

The .357 Magnum chambering is the real story here: you're getting rifle velocity from a cartridge that works equally well in a revolver, making ammo versatile and available. This opens up practical hunting applications in brush and timber where lighter recoil and a shorter rifle matter. The 16.5-inch barrel keeps the overall length manageable without sacrificing sight radius or ballistic performance.

Triple-black finish—barrel, receiver, and furniture all darkened—gives the R95 a clean, business-like appearance that works in the field or at the range. The 8-round tube magazine under the barrel is standard for this class, feeding smoothly through the lever action. This is a rifle that rewards good shooting habits and delivers genuine value for hunters and sport shooters who appreciate lever-action simplicity and proven design.
