Few experiences match the satisfaction of operating a smooth lever action. The act of chambering a round, the synchronized movements of mechanical components, and the gratifying sensation as the bolt closes - it is a blend of kinetics and aesthetics that embodies everything one desires. Rossi has been catering to these sentiments with its lineup of pistol caliber rifles over the years, and now, it introduces a 45-70 Government chambering, perfect for whatever you'd use a 45-70 for. The barrel is threaded, 5/8x24, to accommodate muzzle devices and suppressors.
