Rossi Rio Bravo 22LR Lever-Action Rimfire Rifle with Black Synthetic Stock

The rossi rio bravo 22lr lever-action rimfire rifle with black synthetic stock delivers a classic lever-action platform chambered in the economical and versatile .22 Long Rifle cartridge. Designed for plinking, small game hunting, and marksmanship training, this rifle combines traditional lever-gun ergonomics with modern synthetic construction.

Overview

Rossi builds the Rio Bravo as a lightweight, fast-handling rimfire lever gun that prioritizes reliability and ease of maintenance. The black synthetic stock eliminates concerns about wood warping or scratching in wet or rough field conditions. With an overall length of 36.5 inches and an unloaded weight of approximately 4.5 pounds, this rifle balances maneuverability with stability. The blued steel barrel and receiver provide corrosion resistance, while the exposed hammer and cross-bolt safety offer two distinct methods of carry and storage security. The rossi rio bravo 22lr lever-action rimfire rifle with black synthetic stock features a fiber-optic front sight and an adjustable rear sight for quick target acquisition in varied lighting.

Features & Specs

• Action and Capacity: Lever-action with a 15-round tubular magazine. The smooth cycling action allows for rapid follow-up shots without removing the shooting hand from the grip. The loading gate on the magazine tube enables easy topping off.
• Barrel and Accuracy: 18-inch blued steel barrel with a 1:16 inch twist rate. The barrel is button-rifled for consistent bullet engagement. The rifle feeds standard and high-velocity .22 LR ammunition reliably, including subsonic loads for quieter shooting.
• Stock and Ergonomics: Black synthetic stock with a straight grip and a ventilated rubber buttpad. The stock includes sling swivel studs for attaching a carrying strap. Length of pull measures 14 inches, suitable for most adult shooters.

Additional specifications include a 3/8-inch dovetail receiver grooved for scope mounting, allowing shooters to add optics without a gunsmith. The rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation. The hammer features a half-cock safety position, and the cross-bolt safety blocks the trigger mechanism when engaged.

Who It’s For

This rifle suits shooters who value the traditional lever-action feel without the premium cost of wood-stocked models. The rossi rio bravo 22lr lever-action rimfire rifle with black synthetic stock is ideal for new shooters learning manual-action firearms, as the low recoil and light weight reduce flinch development. Experienced hunters will appreciate the compact profile for carrying through dense brush while pursuing squirrels, rabbits, or other small game. The synthetic stock makes this a practical choice for instructors conducting rimfire training courses, as the stock withstands repeated use in variable weather. Plinkers and recreational shooters benefit from the low ammunition cost and the 15-round magazine capacity, which extends range time between reloads.
