Rossi RS22 22WMR Semi-Automatic Rimfire Rifle with Bronze Stock

The Rossi RS22 22WMR Semi-Automatic Rimfire Rifle with Bronze Stock delivers reliable, semi-automatic performance in the potent .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (22WMR) cartridge. Chambered for the hard-hitting 22WMR, this rifle provides significantly more energy and flatter trajectory than standard .22LR, making it a serious tool for small game hunting and varmint control. The distinctive bronze stock offers a durable synthetic platform with a classic aesthetic, while the semi-automatic action allows for rapid follow-up shots. Built on Rossi’s proven rimfire platform, the RS22 combines practical accuracy with straightforward operation for shooters seeking an affordable magnum rimfire option.

Overview

The Rossi RS22 22WMR Semi-Automatic Rimfire Rifle with Bronze Stock is designed for shooters who need more terminal performance than a standard .22 rimfire. The 22WMR cartridge delivers velocities exceeding 2,000 feet per second with common loads, extending effective range for small game and pest elimination. This rifle features a 18-inch barrel with a 1:16 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing the heavier bullet weights typical of 22WMR ammunition. The bronze synthetic stock is constructed from impact-resistant polymer, providing a stable shooting platform in varied weather conditions while reducing overall weight to approximately 4.8 pounds. The semi-automatic blowback action cycles reliably with standard and high-velocity 22WMR ammunition, making it a practical choice for both recreational shooting and field use.
