Cowboy action and stainless why not. The safety plastic and doesn't fit but it works everything else is satisfactory

My Lever Action Rossi in .357 has done me good the past several years Good experience dealing with Buds on my many purchases

Finish good on stainless, wood finish fair, quality of milling stock poor fit, operation moderately smooth. Nice shooting, comfortable easy carry and load. Nice gun to multipurpose use on a ranch with daily use.

This is a great rifle. Definitely one of my favorites. It was spot on at 100 yds right out of the box. I did do a bit of slicking up and polished the feed ramp but this has always been a sweet rifle. Don't hesitate on one of these.

For the price it is a good gun.You need to be aware the it will take a little work to make it nice.I installed a spring kit to smooth it out and refinished the stock and now is one of my favorite guns.

I've had this gun for over two years. I shot lots of different types of .38 and .357 with no problems. Gun is fun to shoot and accurate. I did purchase a slick up kit and DVD from Steve's Gunz. The kit really smoothed out the action. I also got bored last winter and refinished the furniture. Turns out my stock was mahogany with brown walnut stain. I stripped the stock and refinished with 8 coats of Tung oil. The stock is beautiful a little too nice, I used to carry this gun around my ranch on a 4 wheeler, now I'm worried about beating it up. Great rifle for the money, built to shoot.

works great.hundreds of rounds,no issues.I really like the hammer lock idea with a '' set screw "to stop the hammer from cocking.decent quality and looks good in stainless...

I live in the South where rust is an enemy of guns. Stainless is an answer to that problem. That's one of the reasons this has become my favorite pig gun. The second reason is that I carry a .357 Mag revolver as my back-up when pig hunting and a .357 Mag carbine means I need only one caliber ammunition for both guns. Efficiency! The gun itself is well made and finished. The lever was a little stiff right out of the box, but smoothed out after a box of cartridges was run through the gun. I have experienced no feed issues with this carbine. The sites were pretty close and needed only a minor adjustment straight from the factory. That is probably a personal shooting style issue and doesn't effect the excellence of the gun in any way. There are certainly more expensive carbines out there, but the Rossi is equal to many and better than most. I would definitely recommend this gun.

Bought the Rossi 92 357mag. rifle about two months ago and have not been able to use it due to a major defect. It seems everything was tested and works fine BUT the rifle will not eject 38 special or 357 Mag. cartridges of any make or manufacture. Complete cleaning of the rifle several times has not made the problem go away either. So back to Rossi it went and I am waiting for the return so I can use the gun. Buds was great but Rossi quality control not so much. I have four other Rossi 92's and never had a problem. Good Luck!

Great rifle! Wanted a lever action to shoot for fun. Didn't want an expensive original that I'd be afraid to use. The Rossi fit the bill perfectly. I like most opened up the gun to clean the factory grease out, changed some springs and it was even better. Shoots both 38's & 357 equally as it should with no jambs or misfires. Buds was great to deal with too!!

Buds was awesome as usual. The firearm came as R92's usually do a good example of a commercial grade lever gun with a smooth action and decent trigger. HOWEVER this is the fourth and last of my little collection of these, reason being and why this only getting three stars for a decently manufactured long gun: A LAWYER LOCK ON THE HAMMER WITH KEYS. That's right Taurus has decided to add a third safety feature to the firearm. The half cock safety which is all there should be, the janky little safety on top of the receiver which it tolerable and now a hammer lock with keys milled into the hammer. Epic Fail! Maybe for a revolver but not a long gun this is crap!

First time purchasing from BUDS everything went great! It took about 9 days from the time i ordered until it was in my hands, not bad...As far as the rifle goes, it is awesome! I was a little hesitant on purchasing a Rossi firearm, but after reading all the great reviews it has, as well as watching multiple youtube videos praising its performance, I decided to take a chance . So glad I did! The stainless steel looks beautiful as well as the fit and finish of the stock. I have only fired 38's out of it so far, but it has functioned flawlessly. I would definitely recommend this rifle!

just got back from the range - shot 200 rounds of both 38 spl.and 357 mag. reloads and factory - all went off with a bang. Great gun - smooth action - looks amazing with the stainless. once i received the gun I took it apart and clean the sticky oil off and she shoots like a dream. No need to do any gunsmith work on her - just enjoy shooting her. I can't say the same about Buds gun shop. this is the first experience with them and I have to say I probably will not buy again. I had picked out a different gun for my 50th birthday gift to myself and that gun was in stock at the time I placed and paid for it but sat in their shipping department for 2 weeks before they told me that it was an oversight on their part and gave me 30 dollars off my next purchase for my innocence. I think they should have given me the 10% back like if I had canceled the order. but, on an happier note with this gun - I love it. glad i have it in my collection!

Rossi 357 Magnum Lever Action w/20" Round Stainless Barrel/W Bought it from Buds 10 days ago they shipped it pretty quick the gun came in flawless, as I had heard before from others the loading gate comes in pretty sharp so I took a little emery and put a radius around it and it is fine. the lever action is very smooth and the sights were right on. I changed over to a bushnell trophy red dot the Rossi ( the P801 scope mount kit is not available) so I bought a Weaver No. 92A one piece top mount base is designed for Rossi Braztech .22 Long Rifle This base is made of aluminum and comes in a black finish. Custom-hardened fastening screws for mounting are included. The rear sight sits in a dovetail you can tap it sideways to remove it and there are 4 tapped holes for the weaver mount fits perfect. Buds was quick and efficient as always the product they delivered was in perfect condition. in my opinion this is a great gun and i get a lot of compliments at the range. Jim

I received my R92 yesterday. Cleaned it and went to the range today. I put 100 round of factory .357 through with no problems. I am very pleased! Excellent value.

great gun - I don't like the sights but plan on replacing with a scope anyway, When I fist got the gun it was hard to cycle shells - a good cleaning of the gun solved the issue. Buds was amazing, great price, the FFL deal was also great will buy here again.

Very nice looking weapon. I've used it twice for cowboy shooting and overall it works well and is very accurate. The loading gate hung up a few times and needed a little grind job to open it up. After a few more refinements this should be a reliable rifle.

I love this gun! I always wanted a lever gun, and I finally got one. This gun is so fun to shoot. So far it shoots 38 and 357 FMJ just fine. No fail to feed at all. I also ran some 357 JHP with no problem. The gun shoots right on, and did I mention it's super fun to shoot. Buds was good to deal with, great price. The shipping wasn't fast but it was the holidays and i was patient like a kid at Christmas. Thanks for the price guarantee too. I already got some money back when the price dipped a little, made the great price better! Thanks again!

I'd read lots of reviews on the Rossi R92's, and wasn't sure what to expect. I took the chance, and am very pleased. The furniture fitment is near perfect, but not finished which is perfect for me, I like the oiled look it has now. Appears to be a slight crack in butt stock in grip area. I took out of the box and was impressed. I noticed it seemed gritty and sticky, so I cleaned and rubbed down with CLP, then over oiled. I cycled the action 550 times since hearing of all the problems with ejection. Then I cycled 5 live rounds in and out. I then cleaned this gun thoroughly. I took it to the range, hit bulls eye at 25 yds. on second shot. Fired a few more for a good group right out of the box with no adjustment. I tried 50 yds and was impressed with the group and scored bull on 4th shot. Everyone at range had to have a look at this beautiful Stainless model. I got a lot of "beautiful" comments and also some that said, I needed to quit on the bulls eye shot and take it home... Overall I'm impressed, I tried to get a Marlin for over 2 years now with no luck, Love the Henry, but just can't afford to spend that much now. The Rossi now has my compliments, respect, and recommendation. I even bout a Rossi 462 revolver in .357 to carry with it. Wish I could have got the stainless revolver to match it. But it's nice to carry one type of cartridge and be able to shoot in either. I just attained 6 boxes of Hornady 140 Gr. FTX Leverevolution for the rifle, Now I have a deer rifle, or am able for any varmints. The range is increased with the Hornady's. I orded this 2 weeks before Christmas and received on Jan. 3rd; that's the longest it's ever taken Bud's to deliver. I've bought a lot from them, take my word for it they are the Best!

I purchased this rifle as a tool to beat around in my truck etc, was not willing to spend much money on a 'work' weapon. This was considerably less expensive than all other 357 mag rifles, with the exception of single shots, and even those were only about $150 less than this one. This purchase was a no brainer. I knew these were considered 'fixer uppers' and it would take some effort to get it operational. Luckily there is a lot of mods on the internet to slick'em'up. After shortening, grinding or de-tensioning all nine springs it was much sweeter to cycle, but would still jam at least 50% of the time. Further investigation revealed the angle at which the rounds were being pushed into the chamber guaranteed jams. Using a Dremel tool I ground a 'feed ramp' in the lower edge of the chamber, this stopped ALL jams. The furniture is rough, lightly sanded and stained an unpleasant color with no sealer. A positive aspect is now I probably know as much about lever action rifles as some gunsmiths!
