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 a highly capable .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (22WMR) platform. Built for shooters who demand consistent cycling and flat trajectory from a rimfire rifle, the RS22 combines Rossi’s proven action with a durable, lightweight synthetic stock. This rifle is engineered for high-volume varmint control, plinking, and small game hunting where the 22WMR cartridge provides significantly more energy and range than standard .22 LR loads. The black synthetic stock resists weather, impacts, and field abuse, making this a go-to choice for all-conditions shooting.

Overview

As a dedicated semi-automatic rimfire carbine, the Rossi RS22 22WMR Semi-Auto Rimfire Rifle with Black Synthetic Stock utilizes a blowback action optimized for the higher-pressure 22WMR round. The rifle features an 18-inch barrel with a 1:16 twist rate, providing excellent stabilization for both 30-grain and 40-grain projectile weights. The synthetic stock is fitted with a soft rubber buttpad to reduce felt recoil and features sling swivel studs for easy carry. The receiver is grooved for standard .22 scope rings, allowing for quick optic mounting. This firearm is chambered exclusively for .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire ammunition and is not compatible with .22 LR cartridges. The overall length measures 37 inches with an unloaded weight of approximately 4.75 pounds.

Who It Is For
