Not sure almost forcefulness 94 vs 92. I practice know that the 92 is a wonderful and elegant activeness and with the right bbl length is carries winderfully.

OTOH, you can or used to exist able to go 92 clones chambered in .454 Casull.

FTR, my wife loves her Rossi 92 clone in .44mag.

The 92 is a typical saddle gun with chambers matching nigh revolver cartridges i.e., 357 mag. 44 mag. These operate at 35K CUP and 36K CUP. The Std 94 runs 30-30 WCF at 42K CUP, the 94 AE XTR (made approx. betwixt 1982-2004 has fat reinforced rear receiver is rated at 52K Loving cup. Chambered in 7-thirty Waters, 307 Win, 356 Win, 375 Win and 444 Marlin. These cartridges are typically loaded from 42K CUP-44K CUP. The 450 Marlin is loaded to 44K piezo and offered in the new 94s. The 454 Casull operates in the 60K+ psi range, now you can come across why they are no longer offered by Rossi, Puma or whatsoever other 92 knock-off. They will destroy that action over time. The 94 will take a flake more pressure in my interpretation, neither should be used to push the 454 Casull. The Casull works well on heavy reinforced revolvers like Ruger, Freedom Arms and the BFR.

Assuming modern steel etc the 92 is a stronger design merely both are more than strong enough for the 44 mag. The 92 was designed around short pistol sized cartridges and that size rifle proved to be very pop when it was introduced. Winchester asked Browning to retain the size and handling of the 92 but come up with a burglarize that could be chambered for longer cartridges like the 30/30 and 38/55. The Win 1894 was the result and that size burglarize along with the thirty/30's performance proved to be extremely popular.

In the sixty's the 92 was no longer produced just there was renewed interest in leverguns in pistol sized cartridges. Both Winchester and Marlin adapted their 30/30 rifles to chamber and operate in 44mag. Early attempts had some success merely getting a long action to feed a brusk cartridge needed a lot more refining. Eventually over many years Winchester managed to get the shorter cartridges to work but for my money I'd await to buy a 92 type activity. If you can afford it look for a Browning 92. Avert the early 94'due south with the pressed steel beat lifters. I had i of those and it was nothing but problem.

Yeah, the 92 is a good bit stronger than a 94, but it actually shouldn't matter. What you should actually be concerned with is how well the 94 chambers that short pistol circular. I've heard that some of them take some trouble.

Bear witness me a 92 load that exceeds a 94 load. "Good fleck stronger"? All cartridges funneled through a Win 92 have a great deal less pressure than those pushed through a 94, especially the 94 big bore chambering.

The model 1886 is Winchesters strongest levergun. The model 92 is just a shrunken 1886. The model 94 lacks the twin vertical locking lugs of the other two. The 92 is stronger. For some reason the Rossi has been brought into this? That's like judging a S&W by the durability of a Taurus.

I've heard that off and on over the years. I accept a model 94 Trapper in .44 mag, and it cycles simply fine without any jams. I dearest my 94's, simply at that place's just something nearly a 92 in 44 mag or 357 that's just perfect.

Aye hear this all the time about the 86. Inquire Turnbull why his loads are held at 40k psi. The 86 has never been rated at pressures higher than at fat sided 94 Big Bore at 52K Cup. In fact bear witness me whatever 86 loading greater than 40K-42K psi.

I've read in other places and information technology makes sense to me that the 92 is the strongest of the traditional Winchester'southward in that it is a shorter 1886. Being shorter, there is less room for stretching of the steel. I dubiety that there is much difference. Just I know that .357 loads that my Rossi will assimilate all 24-hour interval one after the other will lock up a Marlin. I didn't fifty-fifty realize that they were that hot as that they were just book max loads and had no pressure signs in my Rossi at all. Merely they locked up my blood brother'southward Marlin and you had to poke them out with a rod.

All you've got is the 94 XTR Large Bore. ten 1000000 94's out there and you're going to act like the XTR Large Bore is the standard 94. What did they sell? ten,000 or so of those? The 94 had to be beefed up for a reason.

And the Rossi even has a smaller receiver than a Winchester 92!

Prove me a 92 load that exceeds a 94 load. "Expert bit stronger"? All cartridges funneled through a Win 92 take a corking bargain less force per unit area than those pushed through a 94, particularly the 94 large diameter chambering.

Agreed, the 92 has a stronger design in spite of beingness chambered for 14000 PSI loads originally ....

My puma 92 has well-nigh 5k mitt loaded 300g 454. Rounds through it. Not a sign of loosening up.ymmv
