Rossi R95 30-30 Review

[USAFRet]

Took a chance and got one of the new Rossi R95 rifles in a 20 inch. Topped with a Leupold 2-7x33 VX-Freedom. I was not disappointed. Action is smooth, like no other lever action I have handled. Trigger has just a little take up with a crisp break. No need for a trigger job. Best are the accuracy results. 100 yards factory ammo.

Sounds like a fun gun! Can you post a picture of it?

Dang, that looks pretty darned good. Those groups would be darned nice out of most factory bolt guns with factory ammo.

When I measured them they were both a little over 1/2 MOA. Shoots better than most of my bolt guns, as you mentioned. Within 150, that is my deer slayer this year.

Handload - 130 Speer HotCor 40.5 grains CFE-223. Need to do some seat depth testing. Not the speed I was hoping for, but plenty for a whitetail.

1.39-.308 = 1.082" center to center group...almost that magical 1" but really a 1" group. Nice!!
