Notes
The R95 is Rossi's modern production lever-action based on the Winchester 1895 design. Weight: ~3175g (7 lbs). Barrel: 508mm (20") standard, 419mm (16.5") Trapper. The Trapper variant is popular in Australia for bush use due to its compact length. The Triple Black variant features a black synthetic stock and matte black metalwork. Also available in laminated stock with stainless steel.
Background
The Rossi R95 carries forward the legacy of the Winchester 1895, the last lever-action designed by John Moses Browning. Brazilian manufacturer Rossi, under Taurus ownership, brought the classic design back into affordable production, making the big-bore lever-action accessible to a new generation of hunters who wanted the stopping power of .45-70 in a traditional package.
