Rossi RB22 Compact .22 LR Bolt Action, 10-Rd, FDE

The Rossi RB22 Compact .22 LR Bolt Action, 10-Rd, FDE is a lightweight, no-nonsense rimfire rifle built for shooters who want a reliable small-bore platform without the weight penalty. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle and shipping with a detachable 10-round magazine, this bolt-action carbine is ready for range work, training, and small-game hunting right out of the box. The Flat Dark Earth synthetic Monte Carlo stock and button-rifled free-floating barrel give you a consistent shooting platform that won’t break the bank.

Key Features

• Button-rifled free-floating barrel — The bore is button-rifled for consistent twist and the barrel is free-floated inside the stock, which reduces harmonics and helps maintain accuracy shot after shot. For a .22 LR at this price point, that’s a serious nod to precision.
• Fiber-optic front sight with adjustable rear — The bright fiber-optic front element grabs light for quick sight alignment, while the adjustable rear lets you dial in elevation and windage. No need to mount a scope if you’re running irons for plinking or small game.
• Detachable 10-round magazine — The box magazine feeds .22 LR reliably and drops free for fast reloads. Ten rounds give you plenty of firepower for training drills or a day at the range without constant reloading.
• Monte Carlo synthetic stock in FDE — The raised cheekpiece helps align your eye with the sights or a low-mounted optic, and the synthetic material shrugs off weather and bumps. Flat Dark Earth blends into field environments without screaming “tacticool.”
• Lightweight 4.5-lb overall weight — At under five pounds, this rifle handles like a feather. It’s easy to carry all day in the field, and new shooters won’t fatigue quickly during a long session.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the shooter who wants a compact, low-recoil platform for basic marksmanship training, small-game hunting, or just punching paper on a budget. It’s also an excellent choice for introducing a new shooter to bolt-action fundamentals without overwhelming them with weight or complexity. If you’re a precision rifle shooter looking for a trainer that mirrors your centerfire rig’s ergonomics, the RB22 Compact fits that role without burning through expensive ammo.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Free-floated barrel at a sub-$200 price — rare in rimfire rifles. Con: The trigger is serviceable but not match-grade; expect a bit of creep and a pull weight around 5-6 lbs. A trigger upgrade (like a Timney aftermarket drop-in) can tighten that up if you’re chasing groups.
• Pro: Lightweight and compact, easy to handle in tight spaces or for young shooters. Con: The synthetic stock feels utilitarian — no adjustable cheek riser or length-of-pull spacers. You get what you pay for in ergonomics.
