Overview

The Rossi Model 92 Carbine 44 Magnum 10-Shot Rifle is a modern production of the legendary Winchester Model 1892 action, manufactured by Rossi in Brazil. This carbine features a forged steel receiver, a blued finish, and a straight-grip walnut stock. The 16-inch barrel is rifled with a 1:38 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing heavy .44 Magnum projectiles. The tubular magazine under the barrel holds 10 rounds of .44 Magnum or 11 rounds of .44 Special, giving the shooter extended capacity for hunting or range sessions. The rifle weighs approximately 5.5 pounds, making it one of the lightest .44 Magnum lever actions available. The rear sight is a semi-buckhorn adjustable for elevation, and the front sight is a brass bead, providing a clear sight picture in low-light conditions. The Rossi Model 92 Carbine 44 Magnum 10-Shot Rifle uses a two-piece firing pin and a rebounding hammer for added safety, which is standard on Rossi lever actions.

Who It’s For

The Rossi Model 92 Carbine 44 Magnum 10-Shot Rifle is intended for experienced shooters who need a lightweight, fast-handling carbine for woods hunting, brush hunting, or trail defense. It is suitable for hunters who prefer the .44 Magnum cartridge for deer, black bear, or wild hogs at ranges under 150 yards. The carbine is also appropriate for cowboy action shooters who require a period-correct lever action with modern reliability. Because the Rossi Model 92 Carbine 44 Magnum 10-Shot Rifle is compact and light, it is an excellent choice for shooters with smaller frames or those who carry a rifle for extended periods. This rifle is not recommended for shooters seeking a long-range precision tool, as the iron sights and carbine barrel length limit its effective range to approximately 100-125 yards with standard loads.

• Ideal for hunting in thick brush, dense timber, or from tree stands
• Suitable for recreational target shooting with .44 Special for reduced recoil
• Practical for property protection against large predators or feral animals
