Rossi RS22 18" .22 LR Semi-Auto Rifle in Flat Dark Earth (FDE) - RS22FDE

The Rossi RS22 is a semi-auto .22 LR rifle built for shooters who want reliable rimfire performance without the weight or complexity of larger calibers. At 18 inches, the barrel strikes a practical balance for handling in the field or at the bench, while the Flat Dark Earth polymer stock gives you a modern, ergonomic platform that's equally at home on a varmint hunt, at the range, or introducing a new shooter to semi-auto rifles. With a free-float barrel, smooth semi-auto action, and a responsive trigger, this .22 delivers consistent accuracy for target work and small-game hunting.

The RS22 comes equipped with fiber-optic sights—front and rear—so you can shoot right out of the box without hunting down optics mounts or rings. The rear sight is fully adjustable, letting you dial in zero without guesswork. The aluminum-alloy receiver and alloy-steel barrel are finished in matte black, providing a clean, no-fuss aesthetic that pairs well with the FDE furniture. At just under 4.8 pounds unloaded, it's light enough for a full day afield yet substantial enough to manage recoil and hold a sight picture steady.

Rossi engineered the RS22 around ergonomic controls and a cross-bolt safety you can operate without breaking your shooting grip. The 10-round magazine (one included) keeps you feeding rounds without constant reloading—practical for both plinking sessions and serious small-game work. Whether you're zeroing a new shooter on iron sights, running drills at the range, or hunting rabbits and squirrels, this is a straightforward, well-balanced .22 that doesn't demand a lot of fuss.
