Rossi R98 Plinker 22LR Double-Action Revolver (Cosmetic Blemishes)

The Rossi R98 Plinker 22LR Double-Action Revolver (Cosmetic Blemishes) delivers a reliable rimfire platform for shooters who prioritize function over finish. This revolver features cosmetic imperfections from handling or storage, but all mechanical components meet factory specifications. For the budget-conscious buyer, this is a straightforward opportunity to acquire a proven Rossi design at a reduced cost.

Overview

Rossi has produced the R98 Plinker series for decades as an entry-level, no-frills revolver chambered in .22 Long Rifle. The double-action trigger allows for rapid follow-up shots, while the single-action mode provides a crisp, light pull for precision work. The blemishes on this unit are purely aesthetic—scratches, scuffs, or minor finish wear—and do not affect the cylinder timing, barrel integrity, or trigger function. This is a working firearm, not a display piece.

If you are seeking a low-cost trainer, a pest control tool, or a plinking revolver, the Rossi R98 Plinker 22LR Double-Action Revolver (Cosmetic Blemishes) is a practical choice. It accepts standard .22 LR ammunition and holds six rounds in its swing-out cylinder.

Features & Specs

• Caliber: .22 Long Rifle; capacity: 6 rounds; action: double/single action; frame: alloy steel with blued finish (blemished)
• Barrel length: 4 inches; front sight: blade; rear sight: fixed notch; overall length: approximately 9.5 inches
• Weight: roughly 30 ounces unloaded; grip: checkered synthetic; includes factory manual and lock

The Rossi R98 Plinker 22LR Double-Action Revolver (Cosmetic Blemishes) utilizes a transfer bar safety system, preventing discharge unless the trigger is deliberately pulled. Cylinder removal is tool-free for cleaning. The 4-inch barrel provides a good balance between sight radius and maneuverability.

Who It’s For

This revolver is suited for three primary user groups:

• New shooters who want a simple, affordable double-action revolver to learn fundamentals without investing in a premium finish
• Experienced owners needing a beater gun for range trips, backpacking, or truck storage where cosmetic wear is inevitable
• Collectors or dealers looking for a functional Rossi R98 Plinker 22LR Double-Action Revolver (Cosmetic Blemishes) for inventory rotation or resale at a competitive price point

It is not intended for concealed carry due to its size and weight, nor for collectors seeking pristine condition. The blemishes are visible but do not compromise the revolver’s mechanical reliability. Rossi’s reputation for straightforward, serviceable revolvers applies here without exception.
