Puma M92 Lever Action Rifle, model PUM68002. .454 Casull caliber. 20" barrel length. Blued finish. Wood stock. HiViz sights.
This rifle is imported by Legacy Sports, and manufactured by Rossi in Spain. The importer claims this to be a recreation of the Winchester model 94. This is a classic lever action carbine, chambered for the
current king of the handgun rounds, the 454 Casull. The cartridge case is reinforced, and lengthened so that it can not be loaded in guns chambered for the older round. Since this gun is chambered for the
more recent cartridge, it can also chamber the older cartridge. The action is tight, and smooth, the parts well fitted, and the finish is very nicely executed. A rubber recoil pad is installed, in consideration of those who might find themselves shooting the 454 more often than the old 45LC. There are traditional sights, as well as an exclusive HiViz sight combination ensuring fast target acquisition. The gun is tapped also for a scope mount. The wood is dark, smooth, and oil finished.
There are two ways, in which the gun may be loaded. There is the traditional way, through a loading gate on the right side of the receiver. The standard 45 Long Colt, loads through the gate with no problem, but the longer 454 rounds are a bit hard to get up into the magazine tube. The solution to this, is to have the magazine open at the front, in the manner of countless 22 rifles, so that the rounds may be loaded down the front of the tube, and have the follower pushed in after them.

I was a little leary when I first ordered this rifle. I never owned anything made in Brazil, and don''t like the Italian quality (or lack there of). However, I was quite impressed with this piece when I opened the box. It seemed solid and well made. When I finally got to go out and shoot it I was very happy. It handled the 454s equally as well as the 45LC. My 45 Colt loads are 270gr. full wad cutters. They cycled well with no hangups. I am glad I purchased this fun little rifle.

They are great guns and fun to shoot. Mine is a 45 long colt but you can shoot them in a 454Casull also.]BE SURE TO CLEAN THEM GOOD AFTERWORDS[ These are better built than the Winchester. Be sure to clean the weapon if you shoot 45 long colts through it or your 454 Casull hulls will stick.

I like this rifle veru much. The action is smooth and the trigger brakes clean at 4-1/4 lbs. The safety workes just as it is supposed to and is a very nice extra feature for added safety when other peope are around. I have only been out to the range once and did not have time to get into any real accuracy testing but have no doubt that it will do just fine for 3 to 4 inches or less at 100 yard. The wood to metal fit is very good and the finish is clean and consistent. I LIKE THE HI VIZ SIGHTS A LOT. A real asset to my 62 year old eyse. I am glad I purchased this rifle and would recomend it to others.
