Rossi Improved! Rossi R92 357 Magnum by CBC

[@easyprepping]

Ummmm. Ummmmm. Taurus sucks Ummmm. Taurus bought Rossi. Ummmm. Now Rossi sucks. Ummmmm

[@wilycoyote9091]

Fell asleep halfway through with all of the "Umm's". Maybe these new Rossi's are better than the old ones, I don't know, but there was certainly plenty of room for improvement. They're priced at the low end of the market so even with that in mind I still don't appreciate cutting my fingers every time I load through the side gate and it's sharp edges. Also for something that's manually fed it shouldn't be so picky on what type of ammo you use.

I had heard that the newer R92 is no longer made by Taurus. I personally own an eight year old Taurus built model similar to the one in this video. The frame, nose cap, and buttplate are case hardened and is a 20" barrel. I have made no changes or modifications whatsoever. Off sandbags at 100m with my own cast loads will stay under 2", and one particular SWCHPGC with a healthy dose of AA7 is absolutely brutal on large feral hogs in the woods I live in. The action and trigger are smooth and easy. All I did to make it this way was to sit and cycle it empty about 150 times. A pre-break in if you will. It's my absolute favorite rifle. A neighbor was visiting for some shooting on my range a few years ago and was talking badly about Rossi and Taurus. I simply said try this, stating it was box stock. After a full magazine shot, he offered me more than I paid for it. Some folks listened to the wrong people and base their opinion but never personally shot the weapon. The internet "experts" are usually just being magpies repeating what they've heard, but never experienced the weapon.

@@anangryranger I’ve actually never heard anything negative about the Taurus Rossi’s other than they require a break in period to smooth out. This one was smooth operating from brand new and has also become one of my favorite rifles. Thank you for commenting.

[@Lukewmtdew]

Are you talking about the cbc Rossi?

[@davidkolb1942]

I have the same rifle in stainless and…IT ROCKS!! .357 mag.

[@farva75089]

GOT MINE BOUT THREE WEEKS BACK SAME MODEL AND ALL. OUT OF THE BOX I WAS EXPECTING A COMPLETE MESS AS YOU ALWAYS HEAR. UPON TEAR DOWN, CLEANUP, AND SPRING KIT INSTALL ALONG WITH A LARGE LOOP I WAS HELLA SURPRISED TO SEE MOST OF EVERYTHING WAS ALMOST 100% PERFECT AND DECIDED TO NOT CLEAN UP ANY SURFACES AND JUST LET THE INTERNALS MESH TOGETHER OVER TIME CAUSE LIKE YOU STATED IT WAS SO SMOOTH OUT OF THE BOX I EVEN DEBATED PUTTING THE STEVES GUNZ SPRINGS AND SUCH IN HER! ITS A WONDERFUL RIFLE AND SINCE THEN IVE ADDED IN THE RLO DRILLLESS SLING AND A SKINNER REAR PEEP WHICH HAS ABSOLUTLEY MADE IT EVEN BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE IMAGINED! IF HENRY AND MARLIN ARE DOING BETER THAN MY EXAMPLE IT AINT BY MUCH!

[@grarmory]

@@curtislong1987 thank you!

[@CloyceSpears]

Also check out the Heritage rifles, they are very nice.

I have new Rossi 357. I like it. I also have an older Rossi Puma. Purchased at a Pawn Shop. Has 24” Octagon barrel. Case hardened reciever Has end cap on forestock like this one.Have never found an explanation of the puma name. Anyone can help me please do so.

[@grarmory]

From my research, Rossi has had a few importers over the years, and one of the importers branded them as Puma. Same rifles, just an importer name.

[@kencarnley7101]

@@grarmory thanks for the info

[@Lukewmtdew]

The Rossi I bought a few months back bulges every 357 mag case (oversized chamber) sent it back to Rossi and they say no problem found guess I’m shit out of luck will never buy another Rossi again

[@grarmory]

Sorry to hear that, unfortunately that is a risk we take with certain manufacturers. Too bad they weren’t willing to correct it.

[@terrytilson9201]

I had a Rossi single shot I bought it for my wife. 9 out of 10 times it would snap on a live round and you would have to cock it 3-4 times before it would fire. On the loading you would have to slam it hard to close it. Then you might have to close it 3-4 times before it would lock. Took it back to the gun shop where I bought it at. They had a gun Smith and he said that he couldn't find anything wrong with it. So I was out of luck got stuck with it for about 5 or 6 years until a friend of mine wanted to buy it. So I sold it to him for what I paid for it. At least I got my money back. I got my wife a Henry single shot a couple of years ago in the same caliber 5.56/223 and have had no problems with it. So I have said that I will never buy another Rossi.

[@Backin_Theday]

I have had the same problems with Rossi. You just have to understand you are getting a cheap lever action for a reason. The problem is that people don't understand what quality is anymore and are willing to spend way more for a cheap, low quality rifle than they are worth. These rifles, whether from Taurus or Rossi, have always been made in Brazil.

[@grarmory]

@@Backin_ThedayAlways a risk buying something from a more “budget” manufacturer. Sometimes you get a good one, sometimes you don’t. Certainly are going to get better better quality and quality control from a company like Henry or Marlin.

[@matthiashellmann6211]

great decision, get an old Winchester rifle in 44 WCF, greetings from Germany....

[@joaomello3578]

All wrong CBC Taurus Rossi is the same company CBC is Magtech ammunition that merged together ths are made under the same cealing.

[@grarmory]

@@joaomello3578 Yes the companies are all under the same umbrella, but the CBC rifles are a different production than the older ones. May be coming out of the same factory, but the quality improvement is noticeable.

[@richardprice5064]

They could have made it a lot nicer if they had moved that gawdy safety from off the top of the rifle to somewhere else. (Like the trash). The sight picture is too cluttered with it where it is. I wouldn’t waste my money on this piece of trash.
