Rossi Gallery 22LR Pump-Action Rimfire Rifle

The Rossi Gallery 22LR pump-action rimfire rifle represents a return to classic Americana, blending historical design cues with modern manufacturing reliability. Chambered in the ubiquitous .22 Long Rifle, this pump-action rifle is engineered for low-recoil plinking, small-game hunting, and marksmanship training. Designed for shooters who appreciate manual-action cycling, the Rossi Gallery model maintains the smooth, short-stroke pump mechanism that defined late 19th-century gallery rifles, now updated with contemporary safety features and durable alloy components. Its 18-inch barrel and overall lightweight construction make it a versatile choice for both range sessions and field carry.

Overview

The Rossi Gallery 22LR pump-action rimfire rifle is a direct descendant of the iconic Winchester 1890 and 1906 series, offering a familiar pump-action feel with a modernized internal design. This rifle features a blued steel barrel, a matte-finished alloy receiver, and a straight-grip walnut-finished hardwood stock. With a 10-round tubular magazine and a cross-bolt safety, it provides consistent feeding and immediate cycling control. The open adjustable rear sight and hooded front sight deliver clear sight alignment for precision shooting at typical rimfire distances. The action cycles .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle interchangeably, offering ammunition flexibility without adjustment.

Features & Specs

• Caliber: .22 LR (also cycles .22 Short and .22 Long). The pump-action design accommodates mixed-length cartridges without magazine tuning, a key advantage for shooters managing varied ammunition stock.
• Barrel Length: 18 inches, blued steel with a 1:16 twist rate. This length balances maneuverability with sight radius, optimizing velocity retention for .22 LR rounds.
• Magazine Capacity: 10-round tubular magazine. The under-barrel tube loads via a loading port on the receiver, allowing rapid reloads without cumbersome stripper clips.
• Overall Length: 36.5 inches. Weight: approximately 5 pounds, unloaded. The compact profile and light mass reduce shooter fatigue during extended range outings.
• Stock: Walnut-finished hardwood with a straight grip and fluted forend. The forend includes integral grooves for positive grip during rapid pump cycling.
• Sights: Adjustable rear sight (elevation and windage) with a brass bead front sight. Receiver is drilled and tapped for optional scope mounting via a standard dovetail adapter.
• Action: Pump-action slide with a steel bolt and twin extractors. The action cycles via a short-throw pump handle, requiring minimal effort for reliable extraction and chambering.

Who It’s For

The Rossi Gallery 22LR pump-action rimfire rifle is specifically designed for three distinct user segments. First, it appeals to historical firearms enthusiasts who value the tactile feel and manual operation of pump-action rifles over semi-automatic designs. Second, it suits small-game hunters targeting squirrels, rabbits, and varmints, where the .22 LR cartridge provides ethical kill capability at ranges under 75 yards. Third, it is an excellent training tool for new shooters learning firearm fundamentals: the pump action reinforces proper cycling discipline, and the low recoil minimizes flinch development. This rifle is not intended for competitive precision shooting at distances beyond 100 yards, nor is it optimized for high-volume semi-automatic fire. It is a purpose-built utility rimfire for deliberate, accurate shooting.
