Rossi RS22 22LR Rimfire Rifle (Cosmetic Blemishes)

If you have been looking for a reliable, budget-friendly rimfire platform for plinking, small game hunting, or just burning through bulk .22 ammunition, the Rossi RS22 22LR Rimfire Rifle (cosmetic blemishes) is a smart grab. This is the same semi-automatic, magazine-fed rifle that Rossi has been building for years, the only difference being a minor cosmetic flaw from the factory finish. We are talking about a light-recoiling, highly accurate carbine that feels right at home in a truck gun rack or a range bag. The blemishes are purely cosmetic, meaning the action, barrel, and trigger function exactly like a full-retail model, but you get to keep some extra money in your pocket.

Overview

The Rossi RS22 22LR rimfire rifle (cosmetic blemishes) is a direct-blowback operated semi-automatic chambered in .22 Long Rifle. It features a synthetic stock, a 18-inch barrel with a 1:16 twist rate, and a 10-round detachable magazine. The rifle weighs just over 4 pounds, making it incredibly easy to handle for new shooters or for carrying on a long walk through the woods. The receiver is a simple two-piece design with a top Picatinny rail for optics, and the safety is a cross-bolt style located at the rear of the trigger guard. Because these rifles have minor handling marks or light scratches on the stock or receiver, they are offered at a significant discount from the standard retail price.
