Description
Big-bore lever guns have been putting deer and hogs on the ground for generations, and the R95 Trapper Triple Black takes that formula and drags it into the modern era. Chambered in .444 Marlin, this rifle throws heavy .44 caliber bullets with enough authority for whitetail, black bear, and hogs at woods ranges, and the 16.5-inch barrel keeps the whole package quick to shoulder in a blind, on a stand, or working through brush. At 6.7 pounds with a 35.5-inch overall length, it carries like a rifle should.
What Sets the R95 Triple Black Apart
The Triple Black treatment is more than a paint job. The barrel and receiver wear a black Cerakote finish that shrugs off rain and rough handling far better than traditional bluing, and the hardwood stock is finished in matching black for a clean, all-business look. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, so your suppressor or brake spins right on without adapters. Up top, a Picatinny rail makes mounting a red dot or scout-style optic simple, while the adjustable peep rear and drift-adjustable front sight give you a fast, capable irons setup right out of the box. The oversized loop lever is wrapped in paracord, which is a small touch you will appreciate when running the action with gloves or cycling quick follow-ups.
Feeding and Running the R95 Trapper
The tubular magazine holds five rounds of .444 Marlin with one more in the chamber, loaded through a generous side loading gate. A cross-bolt safety rounds out the controls without changing how a lever gun handles. Rossi builds the R95 around a hammer-forged barrel and a stout receiver, so it is made to soak up the recoil and pressure of a full-power big-bore cartridge.
For hunters who want maximum punch in a short, weatherproof, optics-ready lever action, this one checks every box. The .444 hits harder than most people expect, and this Trapper puts it in the handiest package Rossi makes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run a suppressor on the Rossi R95 Trapper Triple Black?
Yes, that is a big part of this rifle's appeal. The 16.5-inch barrel is threaded in the common 5/8×24 pitch, so most .44 and .45 caliber suppressors and muzzle brakes will thread on directly. Just make sure your can is rated for the pressure of .444 Marlin before you attach it.
What is the .444 Marlin good for compared to .45-70?
The .444 Marlin drives .44 caliber bullets at higher velocity than most standard .45-70 loads, giving it a slightly flatter trajectory inside typical woods ranges. It is a proven performer on deer, hogs, and black bear out to around 200 yards. If you already shoot .44 Magnum, sharing bullet diameter is a nice bonus for handloaders.
Can I mount a scope or red dot on the R95 Triple Black?
Yes, the receiver comes with a Picatinny rail already installed, so red dots and rail-mount scopes go on without any drilling or tapping. If you prefer irons, the adjustable peep rear sight paired with the drift-adjustable front works well for fast shooting at practical hunting distances.
How does the R95 Trapper load and how many rounds does it hold?
It feeds from a tubular magazine through a side loading gate, holding 5 rounds of .444 Marlin plus one in the chamber for 6 total. The paracord-wrapped large loop lever cycles rounds smoothly, and a cross-bolt safety gives you an extra layer of control during handling.
