Home Forums Lever Action Central Lever Actions - General Rossi 92 vs Henry ???

.44 cal . Which one is the better rifle ? And why ?

The 92 because it's a 92 and u r looking for it in 44 rem mag

92 has two locking lugs , that come up through top, stronger than others, hard to mount a scope on 92, but you can shoot hot loads in 92, Henry not so much, I like my Henry’s , but Rossi is little light power house.

What ahgud55 said

I like 92’s

I have tried both. I like them separately for what they are.

Rossi Pros:
Light weight
Strong action
Decent (enough) trigger

Rossi Cons:
Barrels usually slug at .432+. Don't expect to shoot cast .430 diameter bullets with any accuracy.
Difficult to take apart for cleaning.
Needs a recoil pad for the bench using full house loads.

Henry Pros:
Super smooth action
Accurate
Easy to mount optic
Decent Trigger
Easy to disassemble for cleaning

Henry Cons:
Heavy

As an option look for a marlin 336 in 44 mag. They have a rep for not cycling but mine has never been a problem

Also I think the browning or winchestet 92s are a real upgrade from.the rossi 92 if you can spend the extra money

The Italian 92s are as good as the Miroku 92s. They are very nice and easy to find.
