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

The rossi rs22 22wmr semi-auto rimfire rifle with black synthetic stock is a purpose-built platform designed for high-velocity rimfire performance in a lightweight, reliable package. Chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (22 WMR), this semi-automatic rifle delivers substantially more energy and flatter trajectory than standard .22 LR, making it a versatile choice for varmint control, small game hunting, and high-volume target shooting. Rossi engineers this firearm with a blowback-operated action, a 10-round detachable magazine, and a durable synthetic stock that resists moisture and impact. The 18-inch barrel features a 1:16 twist rate optimized for 22 WMR projectiles, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope bases. With an overall length of 37 inches and an unloaded weight of 4.5 pounds, the RS22 balances maneuverability with stability. The black synthetic stock includes sling swivel studs, and the rifle comes with adjustable rear and fixed front fiber optic sights.

Overview

The rossi rs22 22wmr semi-auto rimfire rifle with black synthetic stock fills the gap between traditional .22 LR plinkers and centerfire varmint rifles. The 22 WMR cartridge produces muzzle velocities exceeding 2,000 feet per second, delivering reliable expansion on small predators and groundhogs out to 150 yards. The semi-automatic action allows rapid follow-up shots without the manual cycling required by bolt-action rifles. Rossi utilizes a fixed barrel design with a free-floating contour to enhance consistency, and the synthetic stock reduces weight while resisting warping from moisture or temperature changes. The rifle accepts aftermarket scopes via its drilled-and-tapped receiver, and the magazine release is ambidextrous for left- and right-handed shooters.

Who It’s For

This rifle is designed for shooters who require rimfire performance beyond the limitations of .22 LR. Varmint hunters targeting coyotes, foxes, and groundhogs will benefit from the 22 WMR’s increased retained energy at longer ranges. Small game hunters pursuing rabbits and squirrels will find the semi-automatic action allows quick second shots. Target shooters who want a lightweight, low-recoil option for informal plinking or steel ring challenges will appreciate the 10-round magazine and fiber optic sights. The synthetic stock makes this a practical choice for hunters who work in wet or muddy conditions, as the stock will not swell or crack like traditional wood. The rossi rs22 22wmr semi-auto rimfire rifle with black synthetic stock is also suitable for new shooters transitioning from .22 LR to a more powerful rimfire cartridge, provided they can manage the slightly increased report and recoil of the 22 WMR.
