There is something about a gold receiver on a lever gun that just works. Rossi took their Rio Bravo, a rimfire built on the bones of the proven R92 lever action, and dressed it up with a Cerakote gold receiver, a polished black oxide barrel, and dark-stained German beechwood furniture. The result looks like it belongs over a fireplace mantel, but this is no safe queen. It runs cheap .22 LR all day and cycles with that satisfying lever throw that makes rimfire plinking so addictive.
The 18 inch alloy steel barrel carries a 1:16 twist that stabilizes standard .22 LR loads well, and the tubular magazine holds 15 rounds with one more in the chamber. Up top you get a traditional adjustable buckhorn rear sight paired with a drift adjustable front, and if irons are not your thing, the dovetail rail lets you slide on a rimfire scope or red dot without any gunsmithing. A cross-bolt safety sits in the receiver for an extra layer of control, and the whole rifle weighs in around 5.2 pounds unloaded with a trim 35.9 inch overall length. That light, compact build makes it easy to carry around the property or hand off to a newer shooter learning the ropes.
A .22 lever action fills a lot of roles. It is a squirrel and rabbit rifle, a pest control tool for the barn, a training rifle for teaching fundamentals, and one of the most entertaining plinkers you can bring to the range. Owners consistently report solid out-of-the-box accuracy with open sights, and the action smooths up nicely as rounds go through it. If you have been wanting the cowboy rifle experience without feeding a centerfire, or you want to add some flash next to a blued gun in the safe, this gold edition of the Rio Bravo delivers the goods at a weight and size just about anyone can handle.
Yes. The receiver includes a dovetail rail, so you can add a rimfire scope or red dot using standard dovetail rings without drilling or tapping anything. The adjustable buckhorn rear and drift adjustable front sights work great on their own if you prefer to keep it traditional.
The under-barrel tubular magazine holds 15 rounds of .22 LR, plus one in the chamber for a 15+1 total. Loading is done through the tube the old-fashioned way, just like classic lever guns.
No, the receiver wears a Cerakote gold finish, which is a durable ceramic-based coating known for holding up to handling and wear. It is paired with a polished black oxide barrel and dark hardwood furniture for a sharp two-tone look.
It is a great fit. At roughly 5.2 pounds with a 35.9 inch overall length, mild .22 LR recoil, and a manually cycled lever action, it is easy to handle and helps build solid fundamentals. The cross-bolt safety adds another layer of control while someone is learning.
