The Rossi Rio Bravo 18" .22 LR lever action rifle delivers classic rimfire handling in a compact, modern package. Built on Rossi's proven R92 lever-action platform, the Rio Bravo scales down the traditional cowboy rifle experience to .22 LR—making it an ideal choice for small-game hunters, backyard plinkers, youth shooters, and anyone looking to put rounds downrange without the recoil or cost of centerfire calibers. Its 18-inch barrel and 35.90-inch overall length keep the rifle nimble in brush or around the homestead, while the 15-round capacity means fewer magazine changes during a day at the range or in the field.
The Rio Bravo's rugged black polymer furniture—forearm and buttstock—pairs with a polished black metal finish for a clean, no-nonsense look that won't distract from the shooting experience. The fully adjustable fiber optic sights are right at home on a rimfire trainer or small-game rifle, offering quick target acquisition and the durability to handle bumps and recoil (light as it is). A cross-bolt safety keeps the gun secure until you're ready to shoot, and at 82.70 ounces, the Rio Bravo won't wear you out during a long day of varmint control, youth instruction, or backyard plinking.
Whether you're introducing a young shooter to lever-action rifles, stocking a homestead rifle for pest control, or simply enjoying the mechanics and charm of a lever gun, the Rio Bravo delivers genuine utility and fun without pretense. It's rimfire rifle shooting the way it should be—straightforward, reliable, and built to last.
