Rossi RS22 22WMR Semi-Automatic Rimfire Rifle with Bronze Stock

When you pick up the Rossi RS22 22WMR semi-automatic rimfire rifle with bronze stock, the first thing you notice is the weight. It is light. Balanced. Ready for a long day at the range or a quiet afternoon chasing small game in the Ohio woodlots. This is a rimfire rifle built around the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire cartridge, which means you get noticeably more energy and flatter trajectory than a standard .22 LR, without jumping into centerfire recoil or cost. The bronze laminate stock adds a touch of character, but more importantly, it resists moisture and warping through Ohio’s wet springs and humid summers. Whether you are teaching a new shooter or topping off a squirrel limit, this Rossi RS22 22WMR semi-automatic rimfire rifle with bronze stock delivers reliable, semi-automatic fun at a price point that makes sense.

Overview

The Rossi RS22 is a straight-forward, semi-automatic rimfire chambered in .22 WMR. It uses a simple blowback action that cycles reliably with high-velocity magnum ammunition. The barrel is an 18-inch, free-float design with a recessed crown, which helps keep groups consistent. The bronze stock uses a traditional Monte Carlo cheekpiece, making it comfortable to shoulder for shooters of all sizes. Magazine capacity is 10 rounds, and the rifle comes with one magazine in the box. Sights are fiber optic front and adjustable rear, but the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting if you prefer optics.

Features & Specs

This rifle is built for practicality. Every feature serves a purpose, from the cross-bolt safety to the textured forend. Here is what you get out of the box:

• Caliber: .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR). Magazine capacity: 10 rounds (one magazine included).
• 18-inch blued barrel with recessed crown; overall length of 37.5 inches. Weight is just under 4.5 pounds empty.
• Laminate bronze stock with Monte Carlo comb and checkered grip panels. Receiver is drilled and tapped for Weaver-style bases.

Compared to the standard .22 LR RS22, the .22 WMR version offers roughly double the muzzle energy, which means cleaner kills on varmints and better performance in light wind. The semi-automatic action cycles quickly, making follow-up shots easy without having to work a bolt. Recoil is mild enough for younger or smaller-framed shooters to handle comfortably.

Who It’s For

The Rossi RS22 22WMR semi-automatic rimfire rifle with bronze stock is ideal for the Ohio shooter who wants a capable, lightweight rifle for small game hunting, plinking, and general farm or property use. If you spend time chasing squirrels in the hardwoods of southern Ohio or groundhogs along the fence lines of the western counties, this rifle gives you the extra reach and energy of the .22 WMR without the weight and cost of a centerfire. It also works well as a training rifle for new shooters: light, low recoil, and easy to shoot accurately. Because it is a semi-automatic, it is also a fun choice for affordable range sessions or casual steel target work. If you already own a .22 LR and want something with more authority but still rimfire cheap, this is a natural step up.
