Rossi RB22 22LR Rimfire Rifle (Cosmetic Blemishes)

If you are looking for a reliable, no-nonsense plinker that won’t break the bank, the Rossi RB22 22LR rimfire rifle (cosmetic blemishes) is a solid choice that deserves a closer look. We have a small batch of these rifles that came in with minor surface imperfections from the factory—think light scratches or scuffs on the synthetic stock that don’t affect performance at all. What you get is a lightweight, semiautomatic .22 LR that runs great and costs significantly less than a perfect-condition model. I have handled a few of these blems myself, and honestly, once you mount a scope or start shooting, you will forget the stock has any marks. This is a functional firearm built for range days and small game, not a safe queen.

Overview

The Rossi RB22 is a blowback-operated, semiautomatic rimfire rifle chambered in .22 Long Rifle. It features a 10-round tubular magazine, a synthetic stock, and a 18-inch barrel. The cosmetic blemishes are exactly that—cosmetic only. You are getting the same reliable action, the same fiber optic front sight, and the same threaded barrel (for suppressors or muzzle devices) as the standard model. The blemishes are typically small scuffs on the buttstock or forend, and they do not affect function, accuracy, or durability. For a budget-friendly rifle that punches above its weight in reliability, this is a great entry point.

Features & Specs

Here is what you can expect from the Rossi RB22 22LR rimfire rifle (cosmetic blemishes) out of the box. I have run a few hundred rounds through one of these, and it cycled everything from bulk high-velocity to standard velocity ammo without hiccups. The fiber optic front sight is easy to pick up in low light, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts if you want to add optics.

• Caliber: .22 LR; 18-inch blued barrel with a 1:16 twist rate; threaded 1/2×28 for suppressors or muzzle brakes
• 10-round tubular magazine under the barrel; manual cross-bolt safety; fiber optic front sight
• Black synthetic stock with a soft rubber buttpad; overall length of 37 inches; weight approximately 4.5 pounds

Other specs include a blowback semiautomatic action, a grooved receiver for tip-off mounts, and a drilled and tapped receiver for scope bases. The Rossi RB22 22LR rimfire rifle (cosmetic blemishes) is a lightweight, easy-to-handle rifle that kids and new shooters will find comfortable. The action is smooth, and the trigger breaks cleanly at around 5 pounds.

Who It’s For

This rifle is perfect for the shooter who wants a dependable .22 LR for plinking, small game hunting, or introducing someone to firearms without spending a lot. If you are on a tight budget or you simply do not care about a few scuffs on the stock, the Rossi RB22 22LR rimfire rifle (cosmetic blemishes) delivers the same function as a new rifle for a fraction of the cost. I have seen these used as truck guns, ranch rifles, and loaner guns for friends. The blemishes mean you can take it out in the field without worrying about the first scratch. It is also a great choice for left-handed shooters because the safety and bolt are ambidextrous-friendly.

• New shooters and first-time rifle owners looking for an affordable, low-recoil option
• Experienced shooters wanting a beater rifle for camping, hiking, or range trips
• Small game hunters after squirrels, rabbits, or pests where .22 LR is appropriate
