The Rossi R95 lever action rifle in .45-70 Government brings timeless mechanical satisfaction to a cartridge built for serious hunting. This is the rifle for hunters who appreciate the tactile feedback of working a lever—the precise synchronized motion, the solid feel of the action cycling, the straightforward reliability that comes from proven mechanical design. The .45-70 Government is no novelty here; it's a hard-hitting round for medium to large game, and Rossi has engineered the R95 to handle it with a 6-round capacity and 20-inch barrel that balances maneuverability with the velocity this cartridge demands.
Built for the woods and field, the R95 features a hardwood stock paired with a black oxide finished alloy steel frame and barrel—a practical, no-nonsense aesthetic that prioritizes function over flash. The 6-groove rifling with a 1:12-inch right-hand twist is tuned for the .45-70, and the rifle tips the scales at just under 7 pounds unloaded, making it a reasonable carry for a day afield. Drift-adjustable front and rear buckhorn sights come ready to use out of the box, giving you a direct line of sight without requiring additional optics mounting.
This is a rifle that rewards deliberate marksmanship. The lever action demands focus—one round per trigger press, mechanical precision with every cycle. If you hunt country where shots are measured in reasonable distances and reliability matters more than capacity, the R95 delivers both in a platform that's earned respect across generations of American hunters. Whether you're pursuing deer, elk, or hog, or simply want a .45-70 that handles like a rifle should, the Rossi R95 offers straightforward, classic performance.
