Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

For years, folks kept asking Rossi the same question: when are you going to build a .30-30? The R95 is the answer, and it turned out to be worth the wait. This 20-inch walnut model is the classic configuration, with a traditional curved loop lever, a black oxide receiver, and a hardwood walnut stock that gives it that timeless deer camp look. The three-quarter length magazine tube holds five rounds of .30-30 Winchester, plus one in the chamber, and the whole rifle balances nicely in the hands, which matters more than spec sheets when you are carrying it through timber all day.
The lever action is hand finished at the factory, and it shows. The cycling is slick from the first stroke, with a tight lockup and none of the grit you sometimes find on lever guns in this price range. The oversized loading gate is easier on your thumb than most, so topping off the tube does not feel like a chore. A stainless steel bolt adds some corrosion resistance where it counts, and the cold hammer-forged steel barrel with a 1:12 twist stabilizes common .30-30 loads well. Range reports on this rifle consistently show respectable groups at 100 yards with standard 150 and 160 grain factory ammo.
Out of the box you get a buckhorn rear sight paired with a drift-adjustable front, a setup that works fine inside typical .30-30 distances. When you are ready for glass, the receiver is already drilled and tapped, so mounting a low-power scope or a rail with a peep sight is a quick job. A rubber recoil pad comes fitted from the factory and takes the edge off, keeping this an easy rifle to shoot all afternoon.
The R95 is compatible with common aftermarket lever gun parts, backed by Rossi, and built to be used rather than babied. Whether it is your first lever action or the one that finally rides in the truck during deer season, this is a straightforward, well-mannered .30-30 that does what a lever gun is supposed to do.
Yes, the receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can add a scope base or a rail without any gunsmithing. A low-power variable in the 2-7x or 3-9x range is a popular pairing for this rifle. The included buckhorn rear and drift-adjustable front sights work well on their own if you prefer to keep it traditional.
This is one of the most talked-about strengths of the rifle. The lever is hand finished at the factory, and reviewers and owners regularly describe the cycling as smooth and tight with no break-in needed. The oversized loading gate also makes feeding rounds into the tube noticeably more comfortable than on many older lever guns.
No, the 20-inch walnut model wears a traditional curved loop lever, which suits its classic styling. Rossi's large loop appears on the 16.5-inch Trapper versions of the R95. The loops are interchangeable between R95 rifles of the same caliber, so swapping later is an option if you want extra room for gloves.
Absolutely. The cold hammer-forged barrel with its 1:12 twist handles common 150 to 160 grain .30-30 loads well, and range testing across multiple reviews shows groups in the 1.5 to 2 inch range at 100 yards with factory ammo. That is plenty of accuracy for whitetail at the distances a .30-30 is meant for.
