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

The Rossi RS22 22LR Semi-Automatic Rimfire Rifle with Threaded Barrel is a purpose-built platform for shooters seeking a lightweight, reliable, and suppressor-ready rimfire rifle. Chambered in the ubiquitous .22 Long Rifle cartridge, this semi-automatic model combines Rossi’s proven blowback action with a compact 18-inch barrel, a 10-round detachable magazine, and a threaded muzzle for direct attachment of sound suppressors or muzzle devices. Weighing just 4.2 pounds, the RS22 delivers low-recoil operation ideal for training, pest control, and recreational plinking without the bulk of a full-size rifle. The black synthetic stock includes a raised cheek rest and sling swivel studs, while the fiber optic front sight and adjustable rear sight ensure rapid target acquisition. This rifle ships with one magazine and a threaded barrel protector.

Overview

The Rossi RS22 22LR Semi-Automatic Rimfire Rifle with Threaded Barrel is engineered around a simple, durable design that prioritizes function over frills. The 18-inch barrel is button-rifled for consistent accuracy and features 1/2×28 TPI threading, the standard for .22 caliber suppressors. The receiver is made from aluminum alloy, reducing weight while maintaining structural integrity, and the bolt is case-hardened for longevity. The cross-bolt safety is ambidextrous and locks the trigger, while the magazine release is positioned at the rear of the magazine well for intuitive operation. The overall length is 36.5 inches, making it maneuverable in tight spaces. This rifle accepts aftermarket accessories such as scope mounts via the grooved receiver (11mm dovetail) and aftermarket stocks with standard Remington 700-style inlet patterns, offering customization flexibility.
