Rossi Circuit Judge 22 LR 22 WMR Rifle With Black Synthetic Stock Cosmetic Blemishes

About this product

The Rossi Circuit Judge is a revolving-cylinder rifle chambered for .22 LR and .22 WMR through a convertible cylinder system, essentially bringing the mechanism of Rossi's Judge revolver into a long-gun format. This specific listing is a cosmetic-blemish unit — a factory-graded piece with minor cosmetic imperfections that doesn't affect function, sold at a reduced price compared to a flawless-cosmetic unit of the same model.

What does 'cosmetic blemishes' mean for this rifle?

Rossi and its distributors grade certain units as blemished when they have minor cosmetic flaws — things like small marks in the finish, stock imperfections, or other superficial issues that don't affect the rifle's mechanical function or safety. These units are priced lower than a cosmetically perfect example of the same model specifically because of those minor flaws, not because of any functional difference. The mechanical components — cylinder, action, barrel, and sights — are held to the same standard as any standard-grade Circuit Judge coming off the line. If a flawless finish matters to you, a standard (non-blemished) Circuit Judge is the better choice; if you're comfortable with minor cosmetic imperfections in exchange for a lower price, a blemish unit like this one delivers the same shooting rifle.

What are the key specs?

The Circuit Judge uses a rotating cylinder design chambered in a convertible .22 LR/.22 WMR configuration, with an 18.5-inch barrel, an overall length of about 34.4 inches, and a weight of roughly 5.2 pounds. It operates as a double-action/single-action revolving rifle, with a push-forward catch behind the left-hand shield that releases the cylinder to swing out for loading. Features include a fiber optic front sight, an adjustable rear sight, an ergonomic thumbhole stock with storage for extra ammunition, a tactical forend with a Picatinny rail, and a cylinder flash guard for added safety around the shooter's support hand. This listing pairs the mechanism with a black synthetic stock rather than a wood option.

Because published capacity figures for the Circuit Judge vary between sources — some list a 9-shot cylinder capacity, others a lower figure — confirm the exact cylinder capacity for this specific caliber configuration directly with the seller before ordering if precise round count matters to you.

Who is the Circuit Judge built for?

This rifle suits small-game hunters and plinkers who want the novelty and versatility of a convertible .22 LR/.22 WMR revolving-cylinder rifle, along with budget-conscious buyers willing to accept minor cosmetic imperfections for meaningful savings on the same mechanically sound rifle. The dual-caliber cylinder gives you flexibility between low-cost .22 LR plinking and more potent .22 WMR performance for small-game hunting, all from one rifle.

Because this is a firearm, it cannot ship to your home address. It transfers to a licensed FFL dealer near you, where you'll complete a background check and the required paperwork in person before taking possession. California buyers should confirm current compliance requirements with their FFL before ordering, since revolving-cylinder rifles can raise unique classification questions under some state laws.

Cleaning a revolving-cylinder rifle like the Circuit Judge is closer to cleaning a revolver than a typical bolt-action or lever-action .22, since the cylinder face and forcing cone need the same attention a revolver handgun would require to prevent buildup from affecting cylinder rotation over time. It's a small extra maintenance step compared to a simpler rimfire action, but nothing beyond what any revolver owner already knows how to handle.
