Rossi R95 .45-70 Gov’t | 20″ Walnut/Black Oxide | 954570201

The Rossi R95 is a traditional-style lever-action rifle chambered in .45-70 Government with a 20″ barrel and walnut hardwood furniture finished in black oxide. It pairs classic lines and a drilled-and-tapped receiver with practical iron sights — a buckhorn rear and a drift-adjustable front — for shooters who value tried-and-true controls and handling. For optics, this rifle pairs well with a durable hunting/field scope such as the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 (well under $1,000), which maintains the rifle’s balance while giving useful magnification for medium-range work. Typical applications include medium-to-large game hunting in brush or timber and recreational/heritage shooting at the range.
