Overview

The Rossi RS22 22LR semi-automatic rimfire rifle with threaded barrel is a purpose-built rimfire designed for high-volume shooting and adaptability. Built on a blowback operating system, this rifle cycles standard and high-velocity .22 LR ammunition reliably. The included threaded barrel (1/2×28 TPI) allows for direct attachment of suppressors, muzzle brakes, or thread protectors. The rifle ships with a single 10-round magazine and features a manual cross-bolt safety. The black synthetic stock provides a durable, weather-resistant platform with a traditional rifle profile. At a street price often found under $200, the Rossi RS22 competes in the entry-level rimfire market while offering features typically reserved for higher-cost rifles.

Features & Specs

The Rossi RS22 22LR semi-automatic rimfire rifle with threaded barrel is built around key specifications that matter to rimfire shooters. Below are the primary features and factory specifications.

• Action: Semi-automatic, blowback operation
• Caliber: .22 Long Rifle (22 LR)
• Barrel Length: 16.5 inches, alloy steel with matte black finish

The threaded barrel is the defining feature of this variant. The 1/2×28 TPI threading is the industry standard for .22 caliber suppressors.

The rifle’s grooved receiver accepts standard .22 scope rings, allowing for optics mounting without a gunsmith.

Who It’s For

The Rossi RS22 22LR semi-automatic rimfire rifle with threaded barrel is suited for shooters who need an affordable, suppressor-ready rimfire rifle. It is an ideal choice for:

• New shooters seeking a low-recoil, low-cost firearm for range familiarization and marksmanship fundamentals
• Experienced owners who want a dedicated host rifle for a .22 caliber suppressor without investing in a premium platform
• Small game hunters targeting squirrel, rabbit, or pest species where quiet operation is beneficial
• Budget-conscious buyers who do not want to compromise on the threaded barrel feature, which is often absent in this price bracket

This rifle also functions well as a training companion for larger-caliber semi-automatics. The manual of arms is straightforward, and the 10-round magazine provides sufficient capacity for target strings. If you require a rimfire rifle that accepts a suppressor out of the box and will not break your budget, the Rossi RS22 warrants consideration.
