Rossi RB22 22LR Rimfire Rifle (Cosmetic Blemishes)

Overview

The Rossi RB22 22LR rimfire rifle (cosmetic blemishes) represents a high-value entry point for shooters seeking a reliable, lightweight bolt-action platform without paying a premium for pristine finish. These units are functionally identical to factory-new rifles, with cosmetic imperfections limited to surface-level scuffs, minor stock dings, or finish variations that do not affect accuracy, cycling, or safety. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, this model is built around Rossi’s proven tubular magazine system and a straight-blowback action, offering consistent feeding and extraction. The blemished designation allows the retailer to pass significant savings to the buyer while maintaining full factory specifications and mechanical integrity. Each rifle has been inspected and test-fired at the Rossi factory prior to blemishing designation.

Features & Specs

The Rossi RB22 22LR rimfire rifle (cosmetic blemishes) is engineered for reliability across a wide range of standard and high-velocity .22 LR ammunition. The barrel is constructed from blued steel with a 1:16 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing 36- to 40-grain projectiles. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting, and the rifle ships with a set of factory-installed iron sights consisting of a blade front and an adjustable rear sight. The synthetic stock is designed for all-weather use, resisting moisture and temperature extremes. Below are the core mechanical specifications:

• Action: Bolt-action, straight blowback with two-position safety
• Capacity: 15-round tubular magazine (loaded through the buttstock)
• Barrel length: 18 inches; overall length: 37 inches; weight: 4.5 pounds unloaded
• Stock: Black synthetic Monte Carlo with raised cheekpiece and rubber buttpad

Who It’s For

This Rossi RB22 22LR rimfire rifle (cosmetic blemishes) is suited for shooters who prioritize function over form: new firearm owners building a first budget rimfire, small-game hunters requiring a lightweight carry rifle, and plinkers seeking high round counts without wear concerns. The blemished price point makes it an ideal training platform for introducing new shooters to bolt-action fundamentals, as the cosmetic flaws are superficial and do not degrade the mechanical performance. It also serves as a cost-effective loaner rifle for range trips or as a dedicated pest-control tool where the stock may see hard use. The 15-round capacity and low recoil make it appropriate for youth shooters under direct supervision, though the overall length is best suited for adult-sized users. The rifle’s simplicity allows for field maintenance with minimal tools, appealing to those who prefer straightforward cleaning and lubrication routines.

• First-time rimfire buyers seeking maximum value with mechanical reliability
• Small-game hunters requiring a lightweight, weather-resistant field rifle
• Range shooters wanting a high-capacity .22 LR for extended practice sessions
