Rossi R99 Plinker 22 Magnum Blued Revolver (Cosmetic Blemishes)

The Rossi R99 Plinker 22 Magnum Blued Revolver (cosmetic blemishes) is a straightforward, no-frills wheelgun built for the shooter who values function over safe-queen aesthetics. We have a limited run of these revolvers that show some minor cosmetic wear or finish inconsistencies from the factory, but mechanically they are sound, fully functional, and ready to hit the range. If you want a reliable .22 Magnum revolver without paying for a perfect finish, this is your chance to grab a solid piece of kit at a sharp price.

Overview

The Rossi R99 is a six-shot, double-action/single-action revolver chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR). The blued finish is standard for the line, and on these blemished models you might see light scuffs, handling marks, or slight variations in the bluing that do not affect the cylinder lockup, timing, or trigger pull. The 2-inch barrel makes it easy to carry in a truck console or range bag, and the .22 Magnum cartridge offers a noticeable step up in velocity and energy over standard .22 Long Rifle, making it a capable small-game gun or plinker with a bit more punch.

Features & Specs

This Rossi R99 Plinker 22 Magnum Blued Revolver (cosmetic blemishes) shares the same mechanical DNA as the full-retail versions. Here is what you get:

• Caliber: .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR) – 6-round cylinder
• Barrel Length: 2 inches, blued steel with fixed front sight
• Action: Double-action/single-action with transfer bar safety
• Grip: Full-size rubberized grips for comfortable recoil management
• Finish: Blued steel with cosmetic blemishes (scuffs, light scratches, or uneven bluing)
• Weight: Approximately 22 ounces, unloaded

The revolver features a traditional side gate loading and ejector rod, giving you that classic wheelgun experience. The trigger pull is typical for a budget-friendly revolver: a bit heavy in double-action but clean and manageable in single-action. The Rossi R99 Plinker 22 Magnum Blued Revolver (cosmetic blemishes) is not a competition gun, but it is a reliable, straightforward shooter that does exactly what it says on the tin.

Who It’s For

This revolver is ideal for the budget-conscious shooter who wants a .22 Magnum revolver for plinking, small-game hunting, or general range practice. It is also a solid choice for someone looking to add a trail gun to their collection without worrying about dinging up a pristine finish. The Rossi R99 Plinker 22 Magnum Blued Revolver (cosmetic blemishes) is not a safe queen, and it does not pretend to be one. If you are the type of shooter who appreciates a tool that works and does not mind a few character marks, this is a great match. It is also a good option for new revolver owners who want to learn double-action shooting on an affordable rimfire platform.

• Perfect for plinking and casual target shooting with .22 WMR
• Suitable for small-game hunting (squirrels, rabbits) at reasonable ranges
• A great “truck gun” or camp gun that you won’t worry about scratching

That said, if you are looking for a safe-queen collector piece or need a gun for self-defense, this revolver is not the right fit. The .22 Magnum is a capable round, but the short barrel and fixed sights limit its defensive application. Stick with the plinking and small-game roles.
