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.

FAQ
Does the Rossi RB22 Compact come with a scope?
No, the RB22 Compact ships with adjustable iron sights (fiber-optic front, adjustable rear). The receiver is grooved for tip-off scope mounts, so you can easily add a rimfire scope if desired.
What is the magazine capacity?
The rifle comes with one detachable 10-round magazine. Extra magazines are available from Rossi or aftermarket suppliers.
Is this rifle suitable for left-handed shooters?
The bolt handle is on the right side, which is standard for right-handed operation. Left-handed shooters will need to reach over the action or consider a left-handed model if available.
Does the free-floating barrel actually improve accuracy?
Yes. A free-floated barrel doesn’t contact the stock, so stock pressure, temperature changes, or moisture won’t shift the point of impact. In a .22 LR, this helps maintain consistent groups, especially with match ammunition.
