Rossi R95 45-70 18" 5rd Sts Bear

The Rossi R95 45-70 Government 18" Stainless Steel Lever Action Rifle with 5-round capacity is a compact, powerful option purpose-built for dangerous game hunting and backcountry defense scenarios. The 45-70 Government cartridge delivers substantial stopping power at intermediate ranges, making this lever-action rifle suitable for operators and hunters who prioritize terminal ballistics and reliability in remote environments.

The 18-inch barrel balances velocity retention with maneuverability, reducing overall length for transport through dense terrain without sacrificing the cartridge's energy delivery. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and variable weather conditions—critical for operators working in coastal or high-moisture regions. The laminate wood stock provides dimensional stability and impact resistance compared to standard walnut, reducing warping from temperature and humidity extremes. Iron sights with rear peep configuration offer quick target acquisition without battery dependency, a proven advantage in field conditions where optical systems may fail or fog.

This rifle serves hunters pursuing elk, moose, and large predators, as well as property owners managing wildlife threats in rural settings. The 5-round magazine capacity meets most hunting regulations and provides sufficient firepower for follow-up shots in defensive encounters. The Talo Edition bear engraving adds distinctive visual character without compromising function. Lever-action platforms remain popular in areas with restricted modern rifle regulations and appeal to shooters valuing mechanical simplicity and manual operation over semi-automatic systems.
