Been thinking about Rossi 92's in 357, 44, 454. What are typical going rates for these? Probably 20" variety.

A guy has a 44 mag for sale here in Denver. He wants 750 for it. It has a ton of scratches. I looked at True Gun Value and it says around 750. Screw that. I saw a brand new Henry 44 mag at Cabelas for 780. I wish I would have bought it. Just keep looking for a new one. New is a better deal right now but you have to be patient.

Had a Rossi in 454, was a piece of junk, edges of the lever were so sharp it would cut my hand to cycle it.......terrible trigger as well.

Bought a new Rossi R92, .357 Mag, 16" barrel, blued, in December 2021, at LGS for $640. Had to search a while to find a .357

I bought a Rossi 44 mag, model 92. It was fired less than 20 times, came in the box and looked like new. I bought it for $450 and thought I could make a couple hundred off of it while lever guns are selling sky high. I had a couple decent trade offers, but nothing I wanted really. Couldnt get any bites unless it was at $600 and I had drive 100 miles round trip. I ended up trading it for a decent condition old Marlin 336 from 1958 in .30-30.

Dont discount a 45 colt variation if you can find one. They are strong enough for Ruger only loads. 300 grain bullets at 1400-1500 fps that are well below maximum book loads with excellent accuracy, and that is with a 16 in barrel. The longer barrel from a rifle really wakes up the 45 Colt, especially with h110/W296 powder.
Regards,
Manny

They made a few in 480 Ruger and those bring some pretty big money. I think the last one I saw sell on GunChoker was over $1,500.

The 454 Casull and 480 Ruger version’s bring a hefty premium on Gunbroker.

I passed up a mint Rossi in 454 a few years ago. It was about half list price. I wish I would have bought it.

I looked at 357 mag 16" barrel, big loop lever today it's used but looks new, dark, almost black finish on wood. There asking $740.00 for it. Pondering it, never owned a Rossi. Iv heard good and bad.

Just picked up an older used R92 44 Mag for $600. Shoots very well. Going to tap it for a Williams sight and plug the Saftey

Bought several Rossi lever guns over the years, $599 plus tax for most, some a little less. Don’t like the new stocks with the flat comb very much, but Rossi levers are good place holders for the Uberti/Marlin/ Winchesters I am slowly replacing them with.

Rossi’s are faaar better rifles than Marlins or Henrys. They will eat loads without a problem that will absolutely lock up a Marlin or Henry.

A 27 pound finely executed brass turd is not superior to an actual rifle that is easy to carry, reasonably accurate, and that functions well. And unlike Marlins, I’ve never bought a Rossi that had the front sight canted off in one direction. A Rossi is a John Browning rifle. That pretty much says all you need to know.

The BBS Henrys are right around 6.5# That's not unreasonably heavy for a handgun cartridge carbine.
I've never had much luck with any Rossi rifle. I've owned a few, and they've all had feed and/or extraction issues out of the box.

From the sharp edges to the rough machining to the poorly finished "Brazilian hardwood" stocks {low build quality} to the often poorly indexed barrels and crappy canted sights {poor QC on the already low build qualtiy}.

I recently paid Elk Country ~ $640 for a 45 LC lever Rossi. Last week-end I saw a Rossi just like it at a gun show, but n 357 for ~ $400. I probably should have bought it.
I don't see anything wrong with my new Rossi, but I don't care for the butt stock nor the stupid buck horn sights (I hate buck horn sights). It feeds the ammo I loaded for my revolvers just fine. The action looks very good.
The weather outside is not good and I have not shot the Rossi yet.

I worked in the gun business in one capacity or another from 1990-2019, from selling them to repairing them to building them and have seen it all. In fact, right off hand I can't think of a lower quality lever action rifle than a Rossi. Furthermore, Rossi quality across the board, rifle, shotgun, handgun, is pretty lousy. If you get one that shoots well, is reliable in function and doesn't have any major issues, thank your lucky stars. Their customer service should you discover issues after the sale sucks too.

Rossi 92s are great little rifles that are both cheaper, stronger, and much handier than either Marlin or Henry, particularly Henry. I guess a heathen could argue that they don’t accommodate optics as well as a Henry or Marlin, but then again, someone who would put optics on a pistol caliber lever action, should probably be horse whipped.

Top is JM stamped
Next is Remington Marlin
Next is Rossi
Bottom is Winchester Big bore
I couldn’t help but notice the Winchester and the Remington Marlin look a lot alike.
The Rossi’s stock isn’t equal to any of the others, in my opinion.
