Who It’s For

The rossi rs22 22lr semi-automatic rimfire rifle with threaded barrel is purpose-built for three primary user groups: budget-conscious shooters seeking a reliable training rifle, small-game hunters requiring a lightweight and quiet platform (when suppressed), and recreational plinkers who want a low-cost, high-volume shooting experience.
