Rossi R95 Triple Black Rifle ($1287.99 – $1363.99)

Rossi’s new R95 Triple Black lever action rifle is not your grandaddy’s lever gun. As its name implies, everything on this gun is black, including the barrel, receiver, and wood stock. The gun is set up with modernized features that enable it to tackle any task for which the 30-30 Win or 45-70 Gov’t cartridges might be employed.

The Triple Black comes equipped with a rear peep sight and drift-adjustable front sight. There’s also a Picatinny rail atop the alloy steel receiver, where a red dot, LPVO, or hunting riflescope would be right at home. Barrels measure 16.5 inches and are threaded 5/8×24. The loop is oversized for gloved hands and wrapped in black paracord to protect fingers when operating the loop. Capacity of the tubular magazine, which is fed via a traditional loading port, is five rounds. Weight is 6.7 pounds, and overall length is just 35.5 inches, making the gun handy in a blind or truck.

Rifle weight, magazine capacity, barrel length, and muzzle threading are the same for rifles in both chamberings. For more information, contact Rossi; Tel.: (800) 948-8029; Web: www.rossiusa.com.
