The Rossi R95 is a lever-action rifle chambered in .357 Magnum, built for hunters and shooters who want a compact, nimble platform that works equally well in brush or at the range. Lever guns have a storied place in American hunting—they're quick to operate, inherently reliable, and this .357 Mag model delivers practical power in a handy package. The R95 pairs classic lever-action ergonomics with modern manufacturing, making it an approachable choice for those stepping into lever rifles or adding a versatile short-range hunting tool to the safe.
The 18-inch barrel strikes a balance between portability and velocity, while the black finish on the receiver and hardwood furniture give it a clean, traditional look that ages well in the field. With a 10-round magazine capacity, you've got enough rounds for hunting situations or extended range sessions without excessive bulk. The .357 Magnum cartridge is equally at home hunting deer-sized game within typical lever-gun ranges or serving as a competent defensive rifle at moderate distances.

It's built to work, not to impress, and that's exactly the point.
