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.


A 380 in my pocket is better than a 45 in my truck!

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.

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 prefer classic.

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.

They'll handle loads that'll destroy any 1873 ever made too but they sure as fuuck ain't "better" from a quality of build standpoint. LOL

Meh…Marlins suck and Henrys weigh about 27 pounds. 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.
