Every gun safe deserves a good .22, and the Rossi RS22 makes a strong case for being that rifle. It runs a simple, proven blowback action fed by a 10 round detachable box magazine, and the whole package weighs right around 4.1 pounds with an overall length of 36.25 inches. That light, compact build is a big part of the appeal. Kids and smaller-framed marksmen can handle it comfortably, and it rides easy behind the truck seat or on the ATV for pest control around the property.
Plenty of budget rimfires cut corners on sights, but not this one. The RS22 wears a red fiber optic front post with a protective hood and a fully adjustable rear sight with twin green fiber optic inserts. Windage and elevation adjustments require no tools, so dialing it in at the range takes minutes. Even in low light under a tree canopy, those bright dots pick up fast. If you'd rather run glass, the receiver has a 3/8 inch dovetail cut for standard rimfire scope mounts.
The 18 inch button-rifled barrel is fully free-floated, with no barrel band touching it, which helps this little rifle punch above its weight for accuracy. Off a rest with ammo it likes, tight groups at 25 yards are the norm, plenty for squirrels, cans, and steel spinners. The textured Monte Carlo synthetic stock gives a solid cheek weld and a sure grip in wet or cold weather, and sling swivel studs come standard. A cross-bolt safety sits at the trigger guard, and the bolt holds open on the last round so you always know when the mag runs dry.
The included 10 round magazine loads easily and locks in with a positive latch. Handy tip from folks who run these rifles hard: the RS22 also accepts Mossberg 702 Plinkster magazines, so spares are cheap and easy to find. Between the light weight, the great sights, and the low cost of feeding it, this is the kind of rifle that ends up getting shot more than anything else you own.
Yes. The receiver has a 3/8 inch dovetail cut that accepts standard rimfire scope rings and mounts. Many owners pair it with an inexpensive 3-9x scope or a red dot on a dovetail mount. The fiber optic irons are good enough that plenty of folks never bother, but the option is there.
The RS22 ships with one 10 round detachable box magazine, and it also runs Mossberg 702 Plinkster magazines. That's a nice perk since Plinkster mags are widely available and affordable, making it easy to stock up on spares for range day.
It's one of the better picks out there for that job. At just 4.1 pounds and 36.25 inches long, it's easy for smaller frames to shoulder, and .22 LR has almost no recoil or muzzle blast. The bright fiber optic sights and simple cross-bolt safety make the learning curve gentle.
Very respectable for a lightweight rimfire. The 18 inch button-rifled barrel is fully free-floated with no barrel band, and owners routinely report tight groups at 25 yards off a rest with quality ammo like CCI Mini-Mags. Like most .22s, it pays to try a few loads and find what your particular rifle prefers.
