The rossi rs22 22wmr semi-automatic rimfire rifle with bronze stock delivers reliable performance for varmint control and target shooting.

Overview

Rossi designed the RS22 platform as a lightweight, semi-automatic rimfire rifle suitable for both new shooters and experienced marksmen. The rossi rs22 22wmr semi-automatic rimfire rifle with bronze stock features a 18-inch barrel with a 1:16 twist rate, optimizing stabilization for 30- to 50-grain .22 WMR ammunition. The semi-automatic action cycles reliably with high-velocity loads, while the 10-round detachable magazine allows for quick reloads. An integrated Picatinny rail accepts optics, and the adjustable rear sight provides elevation and windage corrections out to 100 yards.

The semi-automatic action reduces shooter fatigue during extended sessions, while the bronze stock resists moisture and impact better than traditional wood furniture.

Who It’s For

This rifle suits three primary user groups. First, budget-conscious shooters seeking a reliable 22WMR platform for plinking and informal target practice. Second, landowners and ranchers who need a lightweight, weather-resistant rifle for dispatching varmints such as groundhogs, raccoons, and coyotes at distances under 100 yards. Third, new shooters transitioning from .22 LR to a more potent rimfire cartridge, as the RS22’s low recoil and familiar semi-automatic operation reduce the learning curve. The bronze stock variant appeals to shooters who prefer a non-traditional finish that does not require oiling or refinishing.

• Ideal for small-game hunting: squirrels, rabbits, and nutria
• Suitable for pest control on farms and rural properties
• Works well for recreational target shooting and steel plate challenges

The rossi rs22 22wmr semi-automatic rimfire rifle with bronze stock is also appropriate for shooters who want a dedicated 22WMR rifle without the cost of higher-end bolt-action models. The semi-automatic action allows faster follow-up shots on moving targets compared to manual repeaters.
