Overview

This Rossi M4122B 22LR Police Trade-In Break Open Rifle represents a practical entry into the single-shot rifle category. The break-open action allows for quick and easy chamber access, making it ideal for teaching new shooters or for precise target work. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, it benefits from low recoil and inexpensive ammunition. As a police trade-in, these rifles have been cycled through service use but retain full mechanical integrity. The 22-inch barrel provides adequate velocity for small game hunting and plinking, while the overall weight of approximately 5 pounds ensures easy handling.

• Single-shot break-open action with manual extractor for simple operation
• Police trade-in condition: stock shows dings, dents, and scuffs; metal finish may exhibit holster wear and surface rust spots
• 22-inch barrel with fixed front bead sight and adjustable rear sight for elevation

Features & Specs

The Rossi M4122B 22LR Police Trade-In Break Open Rifle is built on a time-tested design that prioritizes reliability. The break-open mechanism uses a top-lever release, similar to classic shotgun designs, allowing the shooter to open the action with a single thumb motion. The barrel and receiver are blued steel, while the stock is hardwood with a satin finish. All mechanical functions—firing pin, sear, and ejector—are verified operational before shipment. These rifles do not include a safety manual or original box; they ship in a plain cardboard container.

• Caliber: .22 Long Rifle (LR), standard velocity or high velocity recommended
• Overall length: 37 inches; weight: 4.8 pounds unloaded
• Action: break-open, single shot; manual cocking hammer with transfer bar safety

Who It’s For

This Rossi M4122B 22LR Police Trade-In Break Open Rifle is intended for budget-conscious shooters who want a functional firearm without paying for cosmetic perfection. It suits first-time rifle owners who want to learn fundamentals on a single-shot platform, as the break-open action forces deliberate shot placement. Experienced shooters may appreciate it as a lightweight truck gun or for controlled pest control on small properties. It is not a match-grade target rifle; expect typical trade-in accuracy of 2-3 inch groups at 50 yards with quality ammunition. The rifle is also suitable for introducing new shooters to firearm safety, given its simple manual of arms.

• Ideal for plinking, small game hunting (squirrel, rabbit), and informal target practice
• Good training tool for teaching trigger control and sight alignment
• Not recommended for high-volume rapid fire due to single-shot design
