Rossi RB22 22WMR Bolt-Action Rimfire Rifle

Overview

If you are looking for a lightweight, budget-friendly rimfire that still packs a punch, the Rossi RB22 22WMR bolt-action rimfire rifle deserves a close look. Chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, this rifle delivers noticeably more energy downrange than a standard .22 LR, making it a solid choice for Ohio hunters and target shooters who want a step up in performance without jumping to a centerfire cartridge. The RB22 is built around a synthetic stock and a blued barrel, keeping the weight low and the handling nimble. Whether you are chasing coyotes in the farmland east of Columbus or plinking at steel on a Sunday afternoon, this rifle handles the job with straightforward reliability.

Features & Specs

The Rossi RB22 22WMR bolt-action rimfire rifle is designed for shooters who value simplicity and practicality. The action is a traditional turn-bolt design with a crisp trigger pull that breaks cleanly, and the 10-round rotary magazine feeds smoothly. The barrel is button-rifled for consistent accuracy, and the fiber optic front sight helps you acquire targets quickly in low light. Here is what you can expect from this rifle out of the box:

• Caliber: .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR) with a 10-round rotary magazine
• Barrel length: 18 inches with a 1:14 twist rate for stable bullet flight
• Overall length: 37.5 inches, weight: approximately 4.5 pounds unloaded
• Adjustable fiber optic front sight and an integrated Picatinny rail for optics

The synthetic stock features a textured grip and a raised cheek piece, which makes it comfortable to shoot even with heavier WMR loads. The bolt lift is light, and the safety is a two-position tang style that is easy to reach without breaking your firing grip. Overall, this is a no-frills rimfire that prioritizes function over flash.

Who It’s For

This rifle is a natural fit for Ohio shooters who need a versatile .22 Magnum platform without spending a premium. If you hunt small game like rabbits or squirrels in the woodlots of southern Ohio, the extra velocity and retained energy of the .22 WMR give you a more ethical shot at longer ranges than a .22 LR. It is also a great choice for varmint control on farms or rural properties, where a .22 Magnum offers enough punch for groundhogs and coyotes while keeping noise manageable. New shooters will appreciate the low recoil and light weight, while experienced rimfire fans will enjoy the accuracy potential of the button-rifled barrel. The Rossi RB22 22WMR bolt-action rimfire rifle is not a precision benchrest gun, but it is a reliable tool for anyone who wants a field-ready rimfire that is easy to carry all day.
