The Rossi RB22 Compact .22 LR bolt-action cyan stock is a purpose-built small-bore trainer that prioritizes portability without sacrificing accuracy. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, this rifle pairs a free-floated, button-rifled steel barrel with a Monte Carlo synthetic stock in cyan, giving you a lightweight platform that tracks well and handles quickly. The matte-black receiver and adjustable fiber-optic sights make this a practical choice for range work, plinking, or introducing new shooters to precision fundamentals. At $183.2, it’s an entry point that doesn’t cut corners on the features that matter: threaded muzzle, 3/8” dovetail receiver, and a detachable magazine.

Key Features
- Button-rifled, free-float barrel – Why it matters: A free-floated barrel eliminates contact with the stock, reducing vibration interference and improving consistency shot-to-shot. The button-rifling ensures tight tolerances for reliable .22 LR accuracy at 50+ yards.
- Adjustable fiber-optic front and rear sights – Why it matters: Fiber-optic elements gather ambient light for clear sight pictures in varying conditions, and the windage/elevation adjustments let you zero quickly without tools. Ideal for training new shooters on iron sights.
- Threaded muzzle (1/2×28 TPI) – Why it matters: Allows direct attachment of suppressors or muzzle brakes. For a .22 LR, a suppressor reduces report and recoil, making it a quiet training tool or pest-control option.
- 3/8” dovetail receiver – Why it matters: Accepts standard .22 scope rings without needing aftermarket rails. You can mount a compact optic for precise shots or keep the iron sights for field use.
- Detachable magazine – Why it matters: Speeds up reloads at the range and simplifies unloading for safe storage. The magazine release is ambidextrous-friendly for left- or right-handed shooters.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the shooter who wants a compact, easy-to-carry .22 LR for training fundamentals, plinking, or introducing a new shooter to bolt-action precision. The cyan stock and adjustable sights make it a visual standout, but the real draw is the threaded barrel and dovetail receiver that let you customize with optics and suppressors. It’s a solid choice for range days, small-game hunting, or building a cheap-to-run trainer that mirrors a centerfire bolt gun.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Free-float barrel at this price point is rare – expect better accuracy than budget .22s with pressure-bedded barrels.
- Pro: Threaded muzzle and dovetail receiver give you upgrade paths without buying a new rifle.
- Con: The synthetic stock, while lightweight, has a hollow feel that may not appeal to shooters wanting a solid wood stock for dampening recoil. Per Rossi specs, the stock is designed for durability, not luxury.

FAQ
What is the magazine capacity?
The Rossi RB22 Compact comes with a 10-round detachable magazine. It is compatible with standard Rossi .22 LR magazines. Per manufacturer specs, it feeds reliably with high-velocity .22 LR ammunition.
Is this rifle accurate at 100 yards?
Yes, with quality ammunition. The free-float barrel minimizes stock contact, and the button-rifling provides consistent spin. Expect 1.5–2 MOA groups at 50 yards with match-grade .22 LR. At 100 yards, you’ll see 3–4 MOA depending on wind and ammo.
Can I mount a scope without gunsmithing?
Yes. The receiver has a 3/8” dovetail cut that accepts standard .22 scope rings. No drilling or tapping required. Use low-profile rings to maintain a cheek weld with the Monte Carlo stock.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull?
No, the stock is fixed. It’s designed as a compact rifle for smaller-framed shooters or as a youth model. Length of pull is approximately 12.5 inches per Rossi specs.
