Rossi R95 Trapper | .357 Mag | 16.5in | 8rd | 950357161

The Rossi R95 Trapper is a compact lever-action rifle offered in configurations commonly chambered for pistol-caliber performance; this listing references the widely available Trapper configuration with a 16.5-inch barrel and hardwood stock. It combines a traditional lever-action layout with modern features such as a large loading gate and a hammer-forged round barrel. For optics, a versatile option under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform is the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32, which preserves the rifle’s balance while improving aiming speed and accuracy.

Typical real-world uses for this rifle include medium-range hunting of game where straight-walled cartridges are preferred and ranch/brush work where a compact, robust platform and quick handling matter.
