Customer Reviews for Rossi USA 44 Magnum Lever Action w/20" Round Blue Barrel/Walnut

This is a well made gun; fit and finish are good. Stock finish could use improvement. Nice bluing. Did the action job from Steve's Gunz. Smoothed the action pretty well. Fun gun to shoot. Great deer gun. Bud's guns easy to deal with.

I own the Rossi .357 20" M92 and love it. I got my new 44 mag lever for hog hunting Since I have used the M92 Rossi prior I wasn't expecting any issues with my new gun, and it came in perfect condition and very quickly. Since this rifle is for hunting hogs, mostly nocturnally; I replaced the open sight with a reflex one which gives me a red dot or cross hair choice and added a green light and laser to the rifle . This is the first time I have used Buds and I will never use another gun shop again. Fast, good inventory, and friendly. I really liked the trusted transfer FFL dealer list they provide; found one just down the street from me I didn't know was there...I now have a new friend and a new rifle. I'm now busy loading up some good hog rounds for my new M92 44 mag. Thanks Buds

I would recommend this Rossi 44 Magnum Lever Gun. Shoots true out to 65 yds with open sights. Light weight & easy to handle & clean. U wont be disappointed. There are more expensive & better built lever guns in 44 mag, but this Rossi will work just as good on game or paper for a whole lot less. Deer Man Out

What can i say, 5 star as usual. Would give 10 stars if i could. Excellent service from Buds. And an excellent well made rifle from Rossi. This is my 4th Rossi 92, and Rossi has improved dramatically over the last few years. I went over this rifle before I left Buds, and checked it from one end to the other. I Checked the wood to metal fit, bore, bluing, chamber, cycled a snap cap, screw heads, sight alignment and dovetails, etc. If there was anything wrong i was not going to accept it. But i could not find any flaws. The only thing i could complain about is that Rossi makes there rifles a little over sprung. But that is easily remedied.

Nice rifle. Fit and finish were very good. Action was smooth out of the box. No failure to feed or eject using a variety of lead and jacketed bullets (about 200 rounds so far). Based on other reviews, the Rossi's seem to be a bit of hit or miss.... I am VERY happy with the rifle I received. Accuracy is good with just a bit of windage adjustment needed to be dead on. Buds service great as usual!

Super Rifle and great service from buds!!!!!

The Good: Light fast rifle that is fun to shoot. Packs enough punch to put just about anything on the ground. The Bad: gun does not shoot point of aim. With a Laser Bore sight about 6" or so high at 25 yards and shooting about 8" at 50 yards. So its not the ammo just a low front sight. For $500 retail you would think Rossi could get you on target. Rossi's customer service couldn't even offer a different front sight for me and told me to go to a third party. So now I need to get a scope or a peep sight/front sight for my rifle that adds another $50 to $150 more to the cost of the rifle. Now you are in the Henry range. Barrel slugs out at .432 so you'll need to take that into consideration if you reload. Good rifle, basically a starter kit, be prepared to put more into it.

I like the wood on it its not t heavy

This is my third Rossi lever-action rifle. I feel they are a good buy, but don't be surprised if the one you buy needs some tweaking by a gunsmith before it functions as it should. This one is having ejector problems. I've fired about 75 rounds through it and one round (usually the last one in the tube) will often fail to eject cleanly. Other than that, it is great. When I get it back from my gunsmith in a few weeks I'll be happy with it, but for now it gets only 3 stars.

Have to give it five stars considering the cost. Sure it's not a Henry or Marlin, but didn't pay for one of those either. Read all of the horror stories about poor fit, ejector problems, etc and even considered not purchasing because of them. Mine arrived in great shape, ejects fine and action works smoothly. Stock is nice wood, but not the perfect finish, but won't take much to fix that. I am' very pleased with what I got for the bucks with this rifle. Of course, I got the best price and service from Bud's too.

Over all I like the Rossi in 44 mag, which is a copy of the 1892 winchester. The only flaw in the rifle is the wood to metal fit where the stock and receiver meet. On the right side the wood on the stock is slightly high and is not level with the metal. This is where the metal tang screws to the wooden stock. Over all the action is not as smooth as I had hoped it would be, and not as smooth as the Henery I checked out in a store. However, for the diffrence in price I feel like the Rossi is a good buy for the money and feel like I got a good gun. I know that we are not smart enough to be able to put the rifle on a half cocked hammer for a safety position like has been done for 100 years, so Rossi added a safety on top of the receiver, which I'm sure is for Rossi's protection more then the customer. I don't like the safety it takes away from the historical worth of the gun.

I find these reviews helpful, so I thought I would throw my 2 cents in. I ordered this gun the 44 mag in a 20" barrel. All in all, it looks nice. Finish on stock is not perfect - but for the price it certainly met my expectations. Action functioned fine out of box. Did need to spend some time cleaning it to remove grease. At the range the gun functioned well. As expected the magazine and action were a bit stiff as this is a new gun, but no feeding or ejecting problems. The .44 mag does recoil noticeably with the light round barrel. I did get a minor shoulder bruise, so if you want to shoot high volume, you may want to go with the .38/.357. Some report that these tend to shoot high, but I did not experience this issue. I plan to use this next deer season in the ozark woods for still hunting. Should fit the bill. All in all, this appears to be a good buy.

I just purchased a M92 44 Mag from another source than Bud's simply because of availability. The rifle is built solid and has a decent action. There are spring kits available for folks who want to shoot cowboy competition but the rifle is great for hunting and shooting as is. It does shoot a little high out of the box even with the rear sight all the way down on the ramp. There are sights available through stevesgunz.com. Mine held a very tight group at 50 and 100 yds, just about 6 inches high. I am very satisfied with the rifle.

This was my first order with buds. Took about a week to get my order from start to finish--living in Vermont this was to be expected Went like clock work---tracked daily through UPS. from Bud's to Lost Target shooting supplies in Pownal Vermont Package recieved in good shape no damage to either Brought the Gun home started to shoot it ,seems to hit high and to the right so a bit of tweeking is in order have to take out the bench . Rifle as described and in fine working out out of the package. I have used Lost Target for numerous transfer's[ a bit pricy at 25.00 bucks but close and convient ] I have also purchaed from them as they have a gun shop and full line of ammo in the basement of the house as i stated we live in Vermont.

Thanks again Bud's for great service and fast shipping. This
