There's a reason compact rimfires like this keep flying off the rack. The Rossi RB22 Compact takes everything that works about the standard RB22, then trims the barrel to 16.5 inches and shortens the length of pull to 10.5 inches so smaller-framed and younger folks can get a proper cheek weld and reach the trigger comfortably. At just 52 ounces unloaded and barely over 31 inches from muzzle to buttpad, it's the kind of rifle you can hand off at the range or carry around the property all afternoon without thinking twice.
The cyan Monte Carlo polymer stock stands out in a sea of black rifles, and it wraps around a genuinely capable setup. The button-rifled steel barrel is free-floated for consistent accuracy, and the muzzle comes threaded 1/2×28 so you can add a suppressor or other muzzle device down the road. Fiber-optic sights up front and a fully adjustable fiber-optic rear get you on paper fast right out of the box, and the receiver's 3/8 inch dovetail gives you a simple path to a rimfire scope when you're ready to stretch things out. A cross-bolt safety and smooth bolt operation keep the manual of arms dead simple, which matters a lot when you're teaching fundamentals.
Bolt actions make great first rifles because they force a deliberate pace, one shot at a time, and the RB22 Compact leans into that while still feeding from a 10-round detachable box magazine so range sessions don't turn into a reloading chore. It runs cheap .22 LR ammo, which means plenty of trigger time for the money.
Plinking steel, thinning out pests around the barn, squirrel season, or a first-rifle gift that will get used for years, this little Rossi covers all of it. It's a lot of well-thought-out rifle in a small, bright package.
It's one of the better picks in its class for exactly that. The shortened 10.5 inch length of pull and light 52 ounce weight fit smaller frames, and the bolt action encourages slow, deliberate shooting while learning fundamentals. The bright fiber-optic sights also make sight alignment easy to teach.
Yes. The receiver has a 3/8 inch dovetail, which is the standard rimfire mounting cut, so most rimfire scope rings and small red dot mounts made for that dovetail will drop right on. A compact rimfire scope pairs nicely with this rifle for squirrel hunting or tightening up groups at the range.
It is. The 16.5 inch barrel comes threaded in the common 1/2×28 pattern, so it accepts most rimfire suppressors and muzzle devices without an adapter. A suppressed bolt-action .22 LR is about as quiet as shooting gets, which makes this a fun host.
The Compact runs a shorter 16.5 inch barrel versus the standard model's 18 inch tube, along with a reduced length of pull for a smaller overall fit. Everything else carries over, including the free-float button-rifled barrel, detachable 10-round magazine, and Monte Carlo synthetic stock. It's essentially the same rifle scaled down for portability and smaller frames.
