The Rossi R95 Trapper .30-30 Win is a 16.5-inch lever-action rifle with a hardwood stock in a walnut finish (Rossi part no. 953030161). Rossi built the R95 around a hammer-forged barrel, a hand-finished lever action and a large loading gate, and it is drilled and tapped for optics. The short barrel makes it a handy carbine for woods hunting and ranch duty. Polished black oxide metalwork completes the classic lever-gun look.
