Features & Specs

The Rossi RS22 22WMR semi-automatic rimfire rifle with bronze stock is built around a simple, proven blowback action that handles the higher pressure of 22 WMR without fuss. The bronze stock is not just a cosmetic upgrade; the laminate construction resists moisture and temperature changes better than standard hardwood, keeping your zero consistent over time. The 18-inch barrel strikes a good balance between maneuverability and velocity, and the fiber-optic front sight makes for fast target acquisition in varied light.

Who It’s For

This rifle is a natural fit for the shooter who wants more reach and energy than a typical .22 LR plinker but still wants to shoot all afternoon without breaking the bank or the shoulder. The Rossi RS22 22WMR semi-automatic rimfire rifle with bronze stock is an excellent choice for predator and small-game hunting, especially for coyotes, bobcats, and raccoon-sized pests where a .22 LR might fall short. It also works well as a range trainer for centerfire shooters, since the manual of arms and semi-auto function mirror larger rifles. If you are looking for a dependable, low-recoil option for a farm truck or cabin gun, this rifle fits that role without the weight penalty of a larger caliber. Just keep in mind that 22 WMR ammunition is generally more expensive than .22 LR, but the performance upgrade is real.
