There's something about working a lever that never gets old, and the Rossi Rio Bravo delivers that feel in a rimfire package that won't wear out your wallet at the ammo counter. Built on the bones of Rossi's well-known R92 lever guns, this version is chambered in .22 WMR, which gives you noticeably more reach and punch than a standard .22 LR without stepping up to centerfire. For raccoons raiding the feed room, rabbits at 100 yards, or steel plates that need ringing, the .22 Magnum hits that sweet spot.
The German beechwood stock and forend give the Rio Bravo the warm, traditional look a lever gun deserves, and the polished black metalwork ties it all together. The 20 inch barrel keeps the overall package right around 36 inches, so it swings easily, rides well in a truck or on a four wheeler, and shoulders quickly. At the same time, that barrel length wrings solid velocity out of the .22 WMR round, which matters when you're stretching shots on varmints.
The under-barrel tube magazine holds 12 rounds, plus one in the chamber, so you get plenty of trigger time between reloads. Up top, the adjustable buckhorn-style rear sight pairs with a front post for a sight picture that's quick on moving critters and precise enough for careful shots on paper. A crossbolt safety adds a simple, familiar layer of control, which is one reason so many folks reach for this rifle when teaching a new shooter the ropes.
This is the kind of rifle that ends up doing a little bit of everything: pest duty around the barn, squirrel season in the hardwoods, and plinking sessions where the whole family takes a turn. The lever action forces a deliberate pace that new shooters benefit from, while seasoned lever gun fans will appreciate having the format in an affordable rimfire they can run hard without babying it.
The .22 WMR (also called .22 Magnum) is a hotter rimfire cartridge with flatter trajectory and more energy downrange than .22 LR. That makes this Rio Bravo a better pick if you're taking varmints or small game past the 75 to 100 yard mark, or you just want more authority on impact. The trade-off is that .22 Magnum ammo costs more per round, so pure plinkers sometimes stick with the LR model.
It's one of the better options out there for it. The lever action requires the shooter to deliberately cycle each round, which slows things down and builds good habits, and the crossbolt safety is simple to understand. Mild recoil and a manageable overall length under 36 inches make it comfortable for smaller-framed shooters too.
This model wears a German beechwood stock and forend, which gives it that traditional lever gun look and a solid feel in the hands. It's a step up in character from the synthetic-stocked versions of the Rio Bravo, and the wood pairs nicely with the polished black barrel and receiver.
It feeds from an under-barrel tube magazine that holds 12 rounds of .22 WMR, plus one more in the chamber for 12+1 total. Loading is done through the tube the old-fashioned way, just like the classic lever guns this rifle takes after.
