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

If you are looking for a lightweight, budget-friendly rimfire rifle that punches above its weight in the field, the Rossi RS22 22WMR Semi-Automatic Rimfire Rifle with Bronze Stock deserves a serious look. Chambered in the zippy .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR), this semi-auto offers noticeably more velocity and energy than standard .22 LR, making it a versatile choice for varmint control, plinking, or ranch work. The distinct bronze stock gives it a rugged, outdoorsy look that stands out in a safe full of black synthetic stocks. We have had a few of these through the shop, and the action is smooth right out of the box, with a fit and finish that feels solid for the price point. Whether you are a seasoned shooter or just getting into magnum rimfires, this Rossi is a practical, reliable option that won’t break the bank.

Overview

The Rossi RS22 22WMR Semi-Automatic Rimfire Rifle with Bronze Stock is a semi-automatic rimfire rifle built around the punchy .22 WMR cartridge. It features a 10-round detachable magazine, a manual cross-bolt safety, and a fixed front sight with an adjustable rear sight for quick target acquisition. The bronze-colored synthetic stock is durable and weather-resistant, ideal for California’s varied terrain from coastal ranges to inland deserts. The action is a simple blowback design, which keeps maintenance straightforward and reliability high. This is a no-frills shooter that focuses on delivering consistent performance where it counts.

Who It’s For

This rifle is a smart pick for California shooters who need a reliable semi-automatic rimfire for pest control on acreage, casual target practice, or introducing new shooters to magnum rimfires. The .22 WMR cartridge offers enough energy for ground squirrels, rabbits, or coyote calling without the noise and recoil of a centerfire. If you are a hunter who wants a lightweight rifle for packing into the backcountry, or a plinker who appreciates the extra speed of a magnum rimfire, the Rossi RS22 fits the bill. It is also a great option for those on a tight budget who still want a brand-new firearm with a warranty. Just keep in mind that this is a rimfire rifle, so it is best suited for ranges under 150 yards.
