Overview

The Rossi RS22 is a semi-automatic, blowback-operated .22 Long Rifle rifle built on a synthetic stock and aluminum receiver. It is designed for plinking, small-game hunting, and budget-conscious target shooting. The rifle features a 18-inch barrel with a 1:16 twist rate, a 10-round detachable magazine, and a manual cross-bolt safety. The cosmetic blemish designation means the exterior may show handling marks, light scuffs, or minor finish variations. These rifles are test-fired at the factory and meet all Rossi quality standards for function and accuracy. The RS22 uses a simple takedown design for cleaning and storage, with the barrel and receiver separating via a single thumbscrew.
