Rossi R95 950444161 444Marl 16.5 5R Bk/Hw Trap
The Rossi R95 in .444 Marlin is a lever-action rifle built for hunters who value proven reliability and straightforward mechanics. With a 16.5-inch barrel and five-round capacity, this compact rifle handles well in brush and timber while delivering the stopping power of the .444 Marlin cartridge—a cartridge respected for hunting medium to large game. The R95 Trapper brings traditional lever-action performance to a modern platform, making it an accessible option for shooters new to the action type and veterans alike.
The rifle's black oxide finish resists corrosion and wear, a practical choice for field use in variable conditions. The hand-finished lever mechanism cycles smoothly and reliably, and a large loading gate lets you reload quickly without fumbling. The buckhorn rear sight and driftable front sight come installed, giving you a working gun straight from the box—no optics mounting required if you prefer iron sights. For those who want glass, the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting, so you can add a variable or fixed optic if your hunting style demands it. A cross-bolt safety provides straightforward manual control over the firing pin.
The R95 Trapper's compact barrel and moderate weight make it a natural fit for stand hunting, walking timber, or any situation where a handy, dependable rifle matters more than flat trajectory. The .444 Marlin delivers deep penetration and reliable energy, qualities that matter when you're hunting game that demands respect.
