Rossi RS22 .22LR Semi-Automatic Rifle with 18" Barrel and Wood Stock - 10 Round Capacity

The Rossi RS22 is a lightweight, handy .22LR semi-automatic rifle built for shooters who value simplicity, reliability, and honest rimfire performance. At just 4.1 pounds with an 18-inch barrel and wood furniture, it's nimble enough for small-game hunting, backyard plinking, or introducing new shooters to the fundamentals of rifle handling without breaking the bank or your shoulder. The 10-round capacity and straightforward manual safety make it intuitive to operate, while the adjustable fiber optic sights get you on target quickly out of the box—no optics required, though the free-floated barrel and 3/8-inch dovetail mounting system give you the option to mount a scope if your ambitions evolve.

Built around a hammer-fired action, the RS22 delivers the mechanical simplicity that .22 enthusiasts appreciate. The wood stock and matte black finish give it a classic, utilitarian look that never goes out of style. Whether you're zeroing in a young hunter, working on trigger control at the range, or just enjoying quiet trigger time with cheap, plentiful ammunition, this rifle does the job without fuss. The overall length of 36.25 inches keeps it compact and easy to maneuver in the field or around the cabin.

One magazine is included, and Rossi's track record for no-nonsense rimfires means you're getting a rifle that will run reliably through thousands of rounds. The RS22 isn't trying to be anything other than what it is: a dependable, affordable .22 that handles like a real rifle.
