Rossi RB22 22LR Bolt-Action Rimfire Rifle with 18 Inch Barrel

Overview

The Rossi RB22 22LR bolt-action rimfire rifle with 18 inch barrel is a purpose-built platform designed for budget-conscious shooters who demand reliability in a lightweight package. Chambered in the ubiquitous .22 Long Rifle, this bolt-action rifle utilizes a traditional manual cycling action that provides consistent feeding and ejection with standard and high-velocity ammunition. The 18-inch barrel, constructed from blued carbon steel, offers a balance between maneuverability and velocity retention for plinking, small game hunting, and target practice. With an overall weight of approximately 4.5 pounds, the RB22 reduces shooter fatigue during extended range sessions. The synthetic Monte Carlo stock features a neutral comb height suitable for scope use, while the checkered grip panels provide a positive hold in adverse weather conditions. This rifle operates with a detachable 10-round rotary magazine, allowing for quick reloads without compromising the sleek profile of the action.

Who It’s For

This rossi rb22 22lr bolt-action rimfire rifle with 18 inch barrel is engineered for three distinct user groups. First, it serves as an entry-level training rifle for new shooters learning fundamental marksmanship, as the mild recoil and low report of the .22 LR cartridge minimize flinch development. Second, it functions as a practical small game rifle for hunters pursuing squirrel, rabbit, and other varmints within 75 yards, where the 18-inch barrel provides sufficient velocity for clean ethical kills. Third, it appeals to budget-focused shooters who require a reliable rimfire platform for high-volume plinking without the maintenance demands of semi-automatic rimfire rifles. The lightweight synthetic stock makes this rifle particularly suitable for youth shooters or those with smaller frames who need a manageable firearm for all-day carrying during field use.
