It depends on the caliber as the .45s are lighter than the .357s, but they badly understate the weight of their 20" rifles. That 20" octagon barrel they use is a heavy profile and it is most definitely not a 6.5 pound rifle. The carbines are a little closer to the stated mark.pricedo wrote:When a rifle comes out of that factory just be glad when you open the box and it has a receiver & "most"of the parts that are supposed to go with it.
Be even gladder when the gun works.
The advertised 5 pound weight for the 20" Rossi 92s is BS too..........the 20" 92s (the bare unloaded gun) weigh around 6 pounds unloaded according to my fish scale.
I used the fish scale cause I figured the Rossi advertised weight to be a bit "fishy".
Question about ammo.

Re: Question about ammo.
My 20" .44 Magnum carbine (round barrel) is 5 lbs., 14 oz. Way more than the 5 lb. advertised weight. Not a terribly big deal, as it is only 6oz heavier than my 10/22.
It's still a really light little rifle.
