Overview

The Rossi R98 is a full-size, 6-shot revolver chambered in .22 Long Rifle. It features a 4-inch barrel, a traditional double-action trigger system, and a comfortable rubber grip.

For shooters who care about performance over showroom looks, this is a no-nonsense way to get a solid revolver without paying full retail.

Who It’s For

This revolver is built for the practical shooter.
