Overview
The Rossi RS22 is a blowback-operated, semi-automatic rifle that feeds from a 10-round detachable magazine. Its 18-inch barrel is threaded 1/2×28 TPI, allowing for easy attachment of suppressors or muzzle devices. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting, and the rifle ships with a set of fiber-optic front and rear sights for immediate use. The synthetic stock features a textured grip area and sling swivel studs, supporting both bench shooting and field carry. Weighing under 4.5 pounds, the Rossi RS22 22LR Rimfire Rifle is one of the lightest production rimfire rifles in its class, reducing fatigue during extended range sessions.
