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

If you are looking for a rimfire rifle that punches above its weight class while keeping things simple and affordable, the Rossi RS22 in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (22WMR) deserves a close look. This semi-auto carbine offers the familiar handling of a compact sporting rifle but chambers the potent 22WMR round, giving you significantly more energy than a standard .22 LR for hunting small game or plinking at longer distances. The all-weather black synthetic stock keeps the weight down and the durability up, making the rossi rs22 22wmr semi-auto rimfire rifle with black synthetic stock a practical choice for shooters who want reliability without the premium price tag.

Overview

The Rossi RS22 bridges the gap between a budget-friendly rimfire and a serious field gun. Chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, it fires a cartridge that delivers nearly double the muzzle energy of a typical .22 Long Rifle round, extending your effective range on varmints and small game. The semi-auto action cycles smoothly with high-velocity 22WMR ammunition, and the 18-inch barrel with a threaded muzzle (11mm thread pattern) allows for easy attachment of a muzzle brake or suppressor. The black synthetic stock is textured at key contact points for a secure grip in wet weather, and the overall length of 37 inches makes it maneuverable in tight brush or a truck gun rack. This is a no-frills rifle built to perform where you need it most.

Features and Specs

When you pick up the rossi rs22 22wmr semi-auto rimfire rifle with black synthetic stock, you notice the balance immediately. It is light enough to carry all day but solid enough to hold steady for off-hand shots. Here is what you get out of the box:

• Caliber: .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (22WMR) for flat-shooting, high-energy rimfire performance.
• Action: Semi-automatic, gas-operated system that cycles reliably with standard and high-velocity 22WMR loads.
• Stock: Black synthetic with a textured fore-end and pistol grip; sling swivel studs included for easy carry.
• Barrel: 18-inch carbon steel barrel with a 1:16 twist rate, threaded 1/2×28 for muzzle accessories.
• Sights: Adjustable rear peep sight and a red blade front sight; receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting.
• Safety: Manual cross-bolt safety located at the rear of the trigger guard for intuitive operation.
• Magazine: 10-round detachable rotary magazine that sits flush with the stock.

This rifle weighs approximately 4.5 pounds, making it one of the lightest 22WMR semi-autos on the market. The overall fit and finish are utilitarian but clean, with a matte black coating that resists rust and glare.

Who It’s For

The Rossi RS22 is built for the practical shooter. If you spend weekends chasing rabbits or coyotes, need a reliable truck gun for the farm, or want a plinker that hits harder than a .22 LR, this rifle fits the bill. It is also an excellent choice for new shooters stepping up from a .22 LR who want more reach and energy without jumping to a centerfire cartridge. The lightweight stock and manageable recoil make it suitable for younger adults or smaller-framed shooters. Because the rossi rs22 22wmr semi-auto rimfire rifle with black synthetic stock accepts common 1/2×28 thread pitch accessories, it works well for suppressor owners who want a quiet but effective small-game tool. This is not a precision benchrest rifle—it is a working gun for people who shoot often and need something that just runs.
