Rossi R92 44 Magnum 16.5" barrel lever action rifle

Rossi R92 lever action rifle was a nice and cheap alternative to the more expensive, American models on the market. This was true until the new tactical option appeared, a series named "Triple Black". This comes in all black color, with a 16.5 inch barrel and a picatinny rail exactly where it matters the most: up top to facilitate an optical device while still retaining the open sights. That means that the rifle can be used even if you don't have yet the extra money for the scope or the red dot. This rifle comes chambered in two calibers, 8 + 1 rounds of .357 Magnum or .44 Magnum. And, as a cherry on top, the barrel is threaded for a silencer. Cool!

Personally, I eyed the cheaper ("regular") .357 Magnum version but because this model ejects the tube on top of the receiver, there was no way to install a scope. Because of the price, I still wanted it but my tired eyes are not getting better so the tactical version (that is still cheaper than the Henry offering) is an acceptable solution. Uglier than others, but functional and, to be fair, is much prettier than the Mossberg's lever action tactical rifle that looks like a leg prosthesis. I might sand the black wooden stock to revert it to a more natural color and keep the fore-end black and drill it for a flashlight support.
