Rossi R99 Plinker 22 Magnum Blued Revolver (Cosmetic Blemishes)

Overview

The Rossi R99 Plinker 22 Magnum Blued Revolver with cosmetic blemishes is a solid entry into the rimfire wheelgun market for shooters who prioritize value over safe-queen aesthetics. This revolver chambers the zippy .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR) cartridge, offering noticeably more punch than a standard .22 LR while keeping report and recoil manageable for extended range sessions. The blued finish shows some minor handling marks, scuffs, or light spotting from storage—these are purely cosmetic and do not affect function or safety. If you are looking for a reliable revolver that shoots straight without the premium price tag, this Rossi R99 delivers exactly that.

Features & Specs

Built on Rossi’s proven medium-frame platform, the R99 Plinker balances heft and handling. The 22 Magnum chambering gives you flatter trajectory and better terminal performance on small game or steel targets compared to its .22 LR cousins. Below are the key specs and features you can expect from this cosmetic blemish model.

• Caliber: .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR) – 6-round cylinder capacity
• Barrel Length: 6.5 inches, blued steel with fixed front sight and adjustable rear sight for windage
• Action: Single-action and double-action (SA/DA) with a smooth transfer-bar safety system
• Overall Length: 11.25 inches; weight approximately 35 ounces unloaded
• Grip: Checkered walnut-style synthetic stocks for positive purchase in wet or gloved hands

Who It’s For

This Rossi R99 Plinker 22 Magnum Blued Revolver (cosmetic blemishes) is ideal for the budget-conscious shooter who wants a dedicated plinker, small-game hunter, or trail gun without paying full retail for perfection. If you are a reloader who appreciates the .22 WMR’s versatility, or a new revolver owner looking for an affordable training tool that still packs a punch, this fits the bill. The cosmetic blemishes—light scratches, finish wear, or minor oxidation—mean this revolver is ready to work, not sit in a display case. It is also a strong choice for anyone wanting a backup sidearm for hiking or farm use where dings and dents are inevitable.

• Action: Single-action (crisp 4-lb pull) and double-action (smooth 10-lb pull)
• Safety: Transfer bar prevents firing unless trigger is fully depressed
