Rossi RS22 22WMR Semi-Auto Rimfire Rifle With Black Synthetic Stock

The Rossi RS22 22WMR semi-auto rimfire rifle with black synthetic stock delivers reliable semi-automatic performance in the potent .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR) cartridge. Chambered for a round that offers significantly higher velocity and energy than standard .22 LR, this rifle is built for shooters who require flat trajectories and reliable terminal performance from a rimfire platform. The black synthetic stock provides a lightweight, weather-resistant foundation, making this Rossi RS22 22WMR semi-auto rimfire rifle with black synthetic stock a practical choice for field use.

Overview

Rossi has engineered the RS22 to function reliably with the higher pressure profile of the .22 WMR cartridge. The semi-auto action is designed to cycle consistently, offering faster follow-up shots compared to bolt-action or lever-action rimfire rifles. The 18-inch barrel is threaded with a 1/2×28 pattern, allowing for the direct attachment of muzzle devices or suppressors. The overall weight of this Rossi RS22 22WMR semi-auto rimfire rifle with black synthetic stock is kept to just over 4.5 pounds, reducing fatigue during extended carrying sessions. A fiber optic front sight and an adjustable rear sight provide a clear sight picture out of the box, while the receiver is grooved for standard rimfire scope rings.

Who It’s For

This Rossi RS22 22WMR semi-auto rimfire rifle with black synthetic stock is intended for shooters who need more energy and range than .22 LR provides, but who still want the low recoil and economy of a rimfire platform. It is well-suited for small game hunters targeting predators, rabbits, and varmints at moderate distances where the .22 WMR’s 1,900+ feet per second muzzle velocity provides a distinct advantage. The rifle is also ideal for recreational plinkers who appreciate the reduced wind drift of the magnum round. The lightweight synthetic stock and threaded barrel make this an excellent choice for backpack hunters or shooters who plan to use a suppressor to reduce report without sacrificing ballistic performance.
