Rossi RB22 22LR Rimfire Rifle (Cosmetic Blemishes)

Overview

This Rossi RB22 22LR rimfire rifle (cosmetic blemishes) offers the same reliable performance as the standard model at a reduced cost due to minor surface imperfections from the factory. The blemishes are strictly cosmetic, typically light scuffs or finish variations that do not affect function, accuracy, or safety. For shooters who prioritize utility over appearance, this is a practical entry into the rimfire platform.

The Rossi RB22 22LR rimfire rifle (cosmetic blemishes) is built on a proven semi-automatic action, chambered in the affordable and widely available .22 Long Rifle cartridge. It is ideal for plinking, small game hunting, and target practice. We have inspected each of these units and verified they cycle standard velocity and high-velocity ammunition reliably.

Who It’s For

It is also a solid choice for teaching new shooters due to its low recoil and simple manual of arms.

Experienced shooters who plan to customize or use the rifle as a beater gun will find the cosmetic blemishes irrelevant.
