A good .22 rifle belongs in every gun safe, and the Rossi RS22 makes a strong case for being that rifle. This version pairs the proven blowback semi-auto action with a teal polymer Monte Carlo stock, so it stands out on the rack without giving up anything in function. The 18 inch free-float barrel wears a matte black finish, and at roughly 4.8 pounds unloaded with a 36.2 inch overall length, it carries easily whether you're walking a squirrel patch or hauling gear to the range.
Out of the box you get fully adjustable fiber optic sights front and rear, which gather light well and make target acquisition quick for younger eyes and seasoned ones alike. Owners consistently report tight groups at 50 yards using nothing but the factory sights. When you want to stretch things out further, the receiver includes a 3/8 inch dovetail so you can slide on a rimfire scope or red dot without any extra hardware hunting.
The recipe here is simple and it works. Mild .22 LR recoil, a light and weather-resistant synthetic stock, a crossbolt safety that's easy to explain and easy to check, and a 10 round detachable box magazine that keeps reloads simple. That combination makes the RS22 a natural for teaching new shooters the fundamentals, and the teal furniture tends to be a hit with kids and anyone who wants something other than basic black. It's just as much at home handling pests around the property or burning through a brick of ammo on a Saturday afternoon.
The RS22 shares its magazine pattern with the Mossberg 702 Plinkster, so higher-capacity aftermarket mags are easy to track down when one ten-rounder isn't enough. Add in Rossi's long track record with rimfire rifles and you get a lot of practical shooting for very little money. Fun, dependable, and easy on the wallet, this one earns its spot.
Yes. The receiver has an integrated 3/8 inch dovetail, which is the standard rimfire mounting groove. Any 3/8 inch dovetail rings will let you add a rimfire scope or compact red dot, and the fiber optic irons remain a solid backup if you ever pull the optic off.
It ships with one 10-round detachable box magazine, but the RS22 uses the same magazine pattern as the Mossberg 702 Plinkster. That means 25-round aftermarket magazines built for the 702 will run in the RS22, which opens up a lot of options for extended plinking sessions.
It's one of the better picks in its class for that job. At around 4.8 pounds with soft .22 LR recoil, a simple crossbolt safety, and bright fiber optic sights, it's easy for beginners to handle and learn on. The teal stock is also a fun touch that tends to get new shooters excited about range time.
For a lightweight rimfire in this price range, it punches above its weight. The free-float barrel helps consistency, and owners regularly report quarter-sized groups at 50 yards with the factory fiber optics once the fully adjustable rear sight is dialed in. Adding a scope tightens things up further for small game work.
