Rossi M4122B 22LR Police Trade-In Break Open Rifle
If you have been scanning the used racks for a solid, no-frills plinker that won’t break the bank, let me point you toward something that has been turning heads in our shop lately. This is the Rossi M4122B 22LR Police Trade-In Break Open Rifle. These rifles came from a law enforcement agency that used them primarily for training and familiarization courses. They show honest wear from service life, but mechanically, they are ready to hit the range. The single-shot, break-open action is about as simple as it gets, and in .22 Long Rifle, it is an ideal choice for new shooters, budget-conscious enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates a light, handy rifle for informal target work.
Overview
This Rossi M4122B 22LR Police Trade-In Break Open Rifle is a no-nonsense utility gun. The break-open design means you load one round, close the barrel, fire, and then open it again to eject the spent casing. It is a manual action that teaches good habits and keeps your attention on each shot. The police trade-in status means you are getting a rifle that was carried or stored by officers, not abused on a rental counter. Expect some scuffs, scratches, and maybe a bit of holster wear on the stock or barrel, but the bore and action are in good shape. This is a working rifle with a story, and it is priced to move.

Who It Is For
This Rossi M4122B is not a safe queen or a collector’s piece. It is a shooter’s rifle, plain and simple. It is for the person who wants a reliable .22 for plinking tin cans, teaching a friend how to shoot, or keeping a small game gun in the truck. The single-shot action encourages you to make every round count, which is a fantastic way to build marksmanship discipline. It is also a great choice for someone on a tight budget who still wants a quality firearm. The police trade-in designation means you are getting a gun that was maintained by an armorer, even if it looks a bit rough around the edges. If you appreciate honest wear and a good deal on a functional rifle, this one deserves a look.
Let me be clear: this is not a high-volume range toy. It is a single-shot, manual-action rifle. You will not be burning through bricks of ammo in an afternoon unless you enjoy the rhythm of loading, aiming, and firing each shot deliberately. For that reason, it is also an excellent choice for introducing new shooters to the sport. There is no risk of a double-feed or a jam, and the low recoil of the .22LR makes it a confidence builder.
- Ideal for new shooters, plinkers, and budget-minded enthusiasts.
- Great for small game hunting and informal target practice.
- Perfect for those who appreciate a classic, simple action and a rifle with a service history.
