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

The Rossi RS22 22WMR Semi-Automatic Rimfire Rifle with Bronze Stock delivers a high-capacity, fast-firing platform chambered in the potent .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR) cartridge. Built for shooters who demand more energy than a standard .22 LR without stepping up to a centerfire caliber, this semi-automatic rifle combines Rossi’s proven reliability with a distinctive bronze-finished synthetic stock. Whether you are targeting varmints, plinking at steel, or managing small game populations, the RS22 provides a lightweight, low-recoil option with substantial terminal performance.

Overview

The Rossi RS22 22WMR Semi-Automatic Rimfire Rifle with Bronze Stock is engineered around a blowback-operated action that cycles .22 WMR ammunition reliably. This model stands apart from standard rimfire rifles by offering a 25-round detachable magazine, giving the shooter extended engagement capability without frequent reloading. The 18-inch barrel is threaded 1/2×28 for muzzle devices, and the bronze stock provides a non-slip grip surface in wet or cold conditions. With an overall length of 37 inches and a weight of approximately 5.4 pounds, this rifle balances maneuverability with stability for off-hand shooting.

Features & Specs

This firearm is purpose-built for shooters who prioritize capacity and cartridge performance. The RS22 platform utilizes a manual cross-bolt safety and a last-round bolt hold-open feature that locks the action open when the magazine is empty. Below are the primary specifications and features of this model.

• Caliber: .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (22 WMR). Barrel length: 18 inches with 1/2×28 threaded muzzle for suppressors or compensators. Twist rate: 1:16 inch right-hand twist.
• Stock: Fixed synthetic stock with bronze finish. Includes rubber buttpad for recoil absorption. Overall length: 37 inches. Weight: 5.4 pounds unloaded.
• Magazine: Detachable box magazine, 25-round capacity. Action: Semi-automatic, blowback operated. Sights: Adjustable rear aperture sight and front blade sight. Receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting (weaver-style base included).

Additional specifications include a cold hammer-forged barrel for improved accuracy longevity, a steel receiver with a matte black finish, and a manual safety located at the rear of the receiver. The trigger pull weight is factory-set at approximately 5 to 6 pounds.

Who It Is For

The Rossi RS22 22WMR Semi-Automatic Rimfire Rifle with Bronze Stock is designed for the shooter who needs a high-volume rimfire platform with significantly more energy than a .22 LR. It is ideal for varmint control where rapid follow-up shots are necessary, as the 25-round magazine and semi-automatic action allow quick engagement of multiple targets. This rifle also suits recreational shooters who want a low-cost-per-round alternative to centerfire rifles while still enjoying the flatter trajectory and higher velocity of the .22 WMR cartridge. Hunters targeting small game such as rabbit, squirrel, or nutria will appreciate the increased knockdown power at extended rimfire ranges. The threaded barrel makes it compatible with aftermarket sound suppressors for shooters in regulated states, further enhancing its utility for quiet pest management.
