Rossi RS22 22WMR Semi-Auto Rimfire Rifle With Black Synthetic Stock
The Rossi RS22 22WMR Semi-Auto Rimfire Rifle with Black Synthetic Stock delivers reliable, semi-automatic performance in the potent .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (22WMR) cartridge. Chambered for a round that offers significantly higher muzzle velocity and energy than standard .22 Long Rifle, this platform is built for shooters who require flat trajectories and reliable terminal performance from a rimfire action. The black synthetic stock provides a weather-resistant, lightweight foundation suitable for field use in variable conditions. This rifle represents a practical entry point for varmint control, plinking, and training, combining Rossi’s proven manufacturing with a caliber that bridges the gap between inexpensive rimfire practice and centerfire performance.
Overview
Built around the durable 22WMR cartridge, the Rossi RS22 22WMR Semi-Auto Rimfire Rifle with Black Synthetic Stock offers a 18-inch barrel with a 1:16 twist rate, optimized to stabilize the heavier bullets common to the magnum rimfire platform. The semi-automatic action cycles reliably with high-velocity ammunition, providing rapid follow-up shots without manual cycling. The overall length measures 37 inches, with an unloaded weight of approximately 4.5 pounds, making it highly maneuverable in tight spaces. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting, allowing users to customize optics for precision shooting. This rifle uses a detachable 10-round rotary magazine, which feeds smoothly and reduces the profile compared to traditional box magazines. The black synthetic stock features a textured grip area and a raised cheek piece, facilitating consistent cheek weld and recoil management.
