When you are looking for an affordable, reliable plinker that punches above its weight class, the Rossi RS22 22LR semi-automatic rimfire rifle with threaded barrel deserves a long look. Rossi has been building solid, no-nonsense firearms for decades, and this model brings their proven engineering into a lightweight, easy-to-shoot package. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, this rifle is perfect for everything from introducing new shooters to the range to keeping your skills sharp without breaking the bank on ammunition.

The RS22 cycles standard and high-velocity .22 LR ammunition with dependable reliability, thanks to its simple blowback action. The threaded barrel is a standout feature at this price point, giving you the flexibility to attach a suppressor or a muzzle brake right out of the box. It is a versatile little rifle that feels more expensive than it is, and it handles like a natural extension of your hands.

Overview

The Rossi RS22 22LR semi-automatic rimfire rifle with threaded barrel is built for shooters who want maximum function for minimum cost. It features a 16.5-inch barrel with a 1/2×28 threaded muzzle, which is the industry standard for .22 caliber accessories. The synthetic stock is durable and weather-resistant, with a classic rifle profile that balances well for off-hand shooting. The rifle feeds from a 10-round detachable magazine, and the bolt locks back after the last round for quick reloads. With an overall weight of just over 4 pounds, you can carry it all day without fatigue.
