The Rossi R95 lever action rifle in .30

“It’s 30-30 time!” Rossi USA announces: chambered for the most classic lever-action cartridge, the new R95 rifle has a traditional appearance, with steel alloy receiver & barrel and wood stock, and comes in two barrel lengths, 20” or 16.5”. Capacity is 5+1 rounds.

From Rossi USA, part of Taurus group, a lever action rifle in the beloved and classic .30-30 Winchester caliber: meet the new Rossi R95. The latest addition to Rossi's lever action rifle catalog features a hammer forged barrel, a smooth hand finished action, large loading gate, and is drilled and tapped for optics. For even more versatility, the R95 is offered on two barrel length options: the 20”/508 mm Classic and the handier 16.5”/419 mm Trapper, the latter version also featuring an enlarged lever loop.

“There’s nothing better than a slick lever action. The feeling of levering a round in the chamber, hearing the mechanical parts working together in concert, the satisfying feeling of the bolt closing – it’s kinetic, it’s aesthetic, and it’s everything you want. Rossi has been feeding those feelings with its pistol caliber rifles for years, and now it’s giving a 30-30, perfect for North American game,” they say at Rossi.

In the Rossi R95 the alloy steel receiver and barrel have a modern polished black oxide finish, a corrosion-resistant coating that not only enhances the rifle’s aesthetics but also provides added protection against the elements. Another classic touch, the wood stock sports a hardwood walnut finish. Also very traditional, the side loading gate.

Sights include a drift adjustable front sight and an adjustable buckhorn rear notch. The manual thumb safety is located on the top rear receiver, in front of the trigger for ease of manipulation.

The Rossi R95 is customization-ready: aftermarket accessories including M-Lok handguards and extended sights systems are already available at launch, allowing shooters to personalize their rifle according to need and preferences.
