Rossi R95 950454161 454Casll 16.5 7R Bk/Hw Trap

The Rossi R95 is a lever-action rifle chambered in .454 Casull, built for hunters and shooters who demand serious stopping power in a compact, handy package. This 16.5-inch barreled rifle combines the quick-handling ergonomics of a classic lever gun with the raw ballistic capability of one of the most potent handgun cartridges ever commercialized. If you're after a short-range brush gun for dangerous game, a truck rifle for backcountry work, or simply want a rifle that makes a real statement on the range, the R95 delivers—without the bulk and weight of a full-size rifle.

The .454 Casull cartridge is no joke. Originally developed for hunting and defense, this round launches heavy bullets at velocities that generate serious energy downrange. In a rifle platform, that already-impressive performance scales up further, making the R95 a legitimate choice for hunters pursuing large game where conventional calibers might leave you short. The lever-action mechanism is fast, reliable, and familiar to anyone who's spent time with Winchester-style rifles—second shots come quick, and the manual of arms is intuitive under pressure.

At 16.5 inches, the barrel strikes a balance between ballistic efficiency and maneuverability. You get enough sight radius for accurate shooting and a platform that doesn't feel unwieldy in tight cover or from a vehicle. The black finish and hardwood furniture deliver a timeless, functional aesthetic that works equally well in camp or on the bench. This is a rifle built for use, not display.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Rossi R95 best suited for?

The R95 excels as a compact brush gun for close- to medium-range hunting, particularly for larger game where the .454 Casull's energy shines. It also makes a capable truck or backcountry rifle and is popular among shooters who appreciate the power and handling of a lever-action .454.

How does the 16.5-inch barrel affect performance?

The shorter barrel keeps the rifle compact and easy to maneuver in brush or from vehicles, while still providing adequate sight radius and ballistic velocity for the .454 Casull cartridge. You sacrifice some velocity compared to longer barrels, but gain significantly in portability and quick handling.

Is the Rossi R95 suitable for long-range shooting?

The R95 is primarily a close- to medium-range tool. The .454 Casull round and shorter barrel are optimized for power and handling over distance. If you're hunting or shooting beyond 200 yards regularly, a rifle with a longer barrel and more traditional hunting caliber would be better suited to the task.

What kind of ammunition does the R95 fire?

The R95 is chambered in .454 Casull, a powerful large-bore cartridge. Ammunition availability varies by region and retailer, so check local stock before purchasing this rifle.
