Our Assessment: The Rossi Puma M92 .454 Casull 20” Lever-Action Rifle is a modern take on the classic Winchester Model 1892, designed to handle the extremely powerful .454 Casull cartridge. Manufactured by Rossi, a Brazilian firearms company known for its affordable and reliable lever-action rifles, the Puma M92 is built for hunters and enthusiasts who appreciate traditional lever-action designs but require the added power of a magnum-caliber handgun cartridge.
The rifle features a 20-inch barrel, which balances maneuverability with effective ballistic performance. The .454 Casull cartridge is significantly more powerful than traditional lever-action calibers like .44 Magnum or .45 Colt, offering deep penetration and high stopping power, making it suitable for hunting medium to large game, including deer, hogs, and even bear.
One of the standout features of the Puma M92 in .454 Casull is its stronger receiver and action, reinforced to handle the high chamber pressures of the round. It retains a tubular magazine that typically holds 9+1 rounds, along with a top-eject design reminiscent of the original Winchester 1892. Due to its powerful chambering, the Puma M92 offers versatility for both hunting and defensive applications, making it a popular choice among lever-action enthusiasts who want modern performance with old-school style.
