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

The Rossi RS22 22LR semi-automatic rimfire rifle with threaded barrel represents a high-value entry point for Ohio shooters seeking reliable, low-recoil performance. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, this rifle combines a proven blowback action with a 16.5-inch barrel featuring factory-threaded muzzle threads (1/2×28 TPI), allowing for direct attachment of suppressors, muzzle brakes, or compensators without aftermarket machining. Built on a synthetic, carbon-fiber reinforced stock, the Rossi RS22 weighs approximately 4.5 pounds, making it an ideal choice for extended range sessions or small-game hunting across Ohio’s varied terrain. The rifle ships with a 10-round detachable magazine and utilizes a manual safety and bolt hold-open device for enhanced operational control.

Overview

The Rossi RS22 22LR semi-automatic rimfire rifle with threaded barrel is designed for shooters who require accuracy, affordability, and suppression compatibility out of the box. This rifle features a free-floating barrel design that improves consistency by eliminating contact points with the forend, reducing harmonics and improving shot-to-shot grouping. The synthetic stock incorporates a raised cheekpiece and textured grip panels for improved handling in wet or cold conditions typical of Ohio hunting seasons. The included 10-round magazine feeds reliably through a push-button release system, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Weaver-style scope bases, enabling easy optics mounting. The bolt hold-open engages automatically after the last round, facilitating faster reloads and clear chamber inspections.
