Rossi RS22 22LR Semi-Automatic Rimfire Rifle with Threaded Barrel

The Rossi RS22 22LR semi-automatic rimfire rifle with threaded barrel delivers a reliable, budget-conscious platform for plinking, small game hunting, and target shooting. Built on a proven blowback action, this rifle chambers the ubiquitous .22 Long Rifle cartridge and offers the versatility of a factory-threaded muzzle for suppressor or muzzle device attachment. The RS22 is engineered to provide consistent cycling with standard and high-velocity ammunition, making it a practical choice for shooters who demand function without unnecessary complexity.

Overview

Rossi has designed the RS22 to bridge the gap between affordability and performance. The rossi rs22 22lr semi-automatic rimfire rifle with threaded barrel features a 10-round detachable magazine, a synthetic stock with textured grip panels, and an 18-inch barrel. The factory-installed threaded barrel (1/2×28 TPI) allows direct attachment of sound suppressors or compensators, a feature typically found on higher-priced rimfire rifles. A fiber optic front sight and adjustable rear sight provide clear sight acquisition, while the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting. The manual cross-bolt safety adds a layer of security, and the bolt hold-open device locks the action open after the last round is fired.

Features & Specs

The RS22 combines essential features for a rimfire rifle that must perform in varied conditions. Key specifications include:

• 18-inch carbon steel barrel with 1/2×28 TPI threaded muzzle and protective thread cap; blowback semi-automatic action; 10-round detachable magazine; overall length of 37 inches; weight approximately 4.5 pounds
• Drilled and tapped receiver for Weaver-style or Picatinny scope bases; fiber optic front sight with red insert; fully adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation
• Synthetic black stock with textured forend and pistol grip; sling swivel studs included; cross-bolt safety; bolt hold-open device; inertia firing pin system

The rossi rs22 22lr semi-automatic rimfire rifle with threaded barrel is chambered exclusively for .22 Long Rifle ammunition. The 1:16 twist rate stabilizes standard 40-grain rounds and high-velocity loads equally well. Rossi recommends a thorough cleaning before first use to ensure reliable function during the break-in period.

Who It’s For

This rifle suits the shooter who wants a suppressed rimfire setup without paying a premium for a dedicated host gun. The rossi rs22 22lr semi-automatic rimfire rifle with threaded barrel appeals to new shooters seeking their first semi-automatic rifle, experienced marksmen building a low-cost training companion for centerfire rifles, and small game hunters who need a lightweight, quiet option when paired with a suppressor. The 10-round magazine capacity and simple manual of arms also make it appropriate for recreational plinking and pest control on rural properties. Because the rifle accepts many aftermarket accessories designed for 10/22-style platforms, owners can customize the stock, trigger, and optics to their preferences. Budget-conscious buyers will appreciate that the RS22 delivers threaded-barrel capability at a price point well below competing models.
