Overview

The Rossi RB22 is a bolt-action .22 LR rifle designed for plinking, small game hunting, and introducing new shooters to the sport. It features a classic synthetic stock, a threaded barrel, and a detachable magazine. This particular listing is for the Rossi RB22 22LR rimfire rifle (cosmetic blemishes), meaning you get the full factory warranty and mechanical reliability, just with a discounted price due to cosmetic flaws from storage or handling. It is a great entry point for anyone wanting a dependable rimfire without paying full retail.

Features & Specs

Rossi kept this rifle straightforward and functional. You get a manual safety, adjustable rear sight, and a receiver drilled and tapped for scope mounts. The synthetic stock is weather-resistant, and the 18-inch barrel is threaded (1/2×28) for suppressors or muzzle devices. Here is a breakdown of what you can expect:

• Caliber: .22 Long Rifle (LR) – accepts standard, high-velocity, and subsonic rounds
• Action: Bolt-action with a 10-round detachable magazine
• Barrel: 18-inch threaded barrel (1/2×28) with a recessed crown
• Sights: Adjustable rear sight and ramp front sight; receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases
• Stock: Black synthetic with a textured grip and sling swivel studs
• Overall length: 37.5 inches; weight: approximately 4.5 pounds

We have run a few boxes of CCI Standard Velocity through one of these, and it cycled smoothly. The bolt lift is crisp, and the trigger breaks cleanly around 5 pounds. For a budget rimfire, it handles well and points naturally.

Who It Is For

This Rossi RB22 22LR rimfire rifle (cosmetic blemishes) is ideal for a few specific types of shooters. First, if you are a new shooter or looking for a low-cost training rifle, this is a practical option. The .22 LR is cheap to shoot, and the rifle is light enough for a younger shooter or someone with smaller frame. Second, if you need a truck gun or a beater rifle for the range or farm, the synthetic stock and simple design hold up to bumps and weather. Third, if you are a budget-conscious enthusiast who does not mind a few scuffs, you can save money and put that savings toward ammunition or a scope. The blemishes are cosmetic only—the barrel, action, and magazine are factory fresh.

• New shooters looking for an affordable, reliable rimfire to learn fundamentals
• Small game hunters who want a lightweight, threaded barrel rifle for squirrel or rabbit
• Plinkers and target shooters who shoot high volume and want a durable, low-cost platform
• Suppressor owners who need a host rifle with a factory-threaded barrel
