It is all steel ! almost the same price as a henri ! thanks for the replyLooks awful sharp to me geral! Never read anything bad about the Rossi levers. All steel ain't it? Like the fancy gold on yours. Them old levers will never go out of favor! Fun to lug around as well as hunt with.
Really the same price? I know the Henry rifles are up there. Sent me a catalog this year. Probably yours might be even better. Noticed the prices for quality are up there these days. Recall the days when $300 got you a walnut stocked and great shiny blued gun. Heck my TB 1100 Rem cost me $325 new in 80 and my 700 ran me $320 in 84 with walnut. Been checking on the new offerings from Rem-Arms for 2022. A 700 CDL will cost $1039 or at least is the M.S.R.P. 1100 will be back but may cost close to $1100. I keep diggin for prices as I love to compare what I paid back in the "olden Days" HA!! Don't care how much less we made in the 70s prices did not triple 5 times over back then. Right now gonna make a couple trades for the Remington 870 Fieldmaster in 12. Around $500 at Bass Pro Shop. At least it has a steel receiver and walnut. Can live with the matte finish.It is all steel ! almost the same price as a henri ! thanks for the reply
thanks ! mine is in 44 magnum also ! where did you buy the metal parts ? My new rifle will be delivered tomorrowI own one in 44M. I do like it. Lightweight and easy to handle. I will say that the day mine came in, I took it to the gunsmith and had them remove all burrs, remove the safety and replace all plastic parts with metal. Under $100 and money well spent.
They are great in every way. I have three, blue and stainless. I collect levers and have lots of old and new Marlins, Winchesters, Henry's and the three Rossis. They are the #1 choice of cowboy action shooters followed by Marlins and others. The model 92 is the strongest lever gun made. The Rossi is even made in 454 Casul, which takes loads as high pressure as the 300 win mag, 65000 psi or 55000 cup. A 44 mag is about 36000 psi for reference.I would like yalls opinions and thoughts on Rosi firearms ! Are they any good . Thanks

I just bought a new one in 44 magnum ! It will be delivered tommorrowThey are great in every way. I have three, blue and stainless.

The Henrys are very smooth but very heavy, so not something you want to carry. or hunt with. For more info go to leverguns,com or the Rossirifleman.com. Lots of reviews over there are mine.
What caliber are you looking at? My fave is the 357in the 16 inch barrel. Feel free to ask any questions, I have had them for decades. View attachment 175344
Not sure....the gunsmith did all thatthanks ! mine is in 44 magnum also ! where did you buy the metal parts ? My new rifle will be delivered tomorrow
You will like it. I assume the 20 inch barrel? Be ready for some recoil with the 44. That gun weighs about 5 1/2 pounds. A Winchester 94 is about 7 pounds, so there is more recoil. If you reload you can easily tame them. A 240 grain cast with 10 grains of Unique is a favorite of mine in handguns, not a max load but good enough for deer or hogs without all the recoil.I know you are right about that

I dont reload , But I want a fast moving bullet to hunt with , I have once fired brass from my ruger super blackhawk ! wish that I new how to reloadYou will like it. I assume the 20 inch barrel?

I do not have one in 44 but shoot a similar load in 45 Colt which launches a 230 grain bullet about 1600 fps out if the 20 inch barrel and recoil is not bad at all.
Give us a range report.
thank you my friend for sharing ! I need to find some big and fast ammo for itGeral Ii have one never shot. I bought it about 5 years ago or more. Mine is 44 Magnum and case hardened steel receiver and the barrel is Octagonal. Nice rifles for sure.

brand new riflemine is a 44 magnum also
Some people might say that nobody needs 15 lever guns, some would say there is something very wrong with that person, I would say those folks are very blessed.i only have like 15-16 of them,,, so i really don't have enough of them to form an opinion yet.
