Rossi RS22 .22 LR 18in Pink Synthetic Stock 10+1

The Rossi RS22 .22 LR 18in Pink Synthetic Stock 10+1 is a blowback-operated semi-auto rimfire rifle that delivers consistent sub-2 MOA accuracy at 50 yards with bulk-pack ammunition. The 18-inch stainless steel free-float barrel keeps harmonics consistent, and the grooved aluminum receiver mates directly to a 3/8-inch dovetail for optics. This is a no-nonsense trainer, plinker, and small-game rifle that punches well above its $146 price point.

Key Features

• Free-float stainless barrel — the barrel contacts only at the receiver, eliminating stock-induced torque shift. This means your point of impact stays consistent even when shooting from barricades or bipods.
• Fully adjustable fiber-optic sights — tool-less windage and elevation adjustments let you zero in minutes. The bright green fiber front and red fiber rear give fast sight acquisition in low light.
• Textured pink synthetic stock — the texture provides positive grip even with wet hands, and the pink finish is UV-stable so it won’t fade after a season in the sun.
• Grooved aluminum receiver — the 3/8-inch dovetail accepts standard rimfire scope rings without needing a separate rail. It also keeps the receiver rigid and corrosion-resistant.
• 10+1 capacity with one detachable magazine — the magazine is flush-fit, reliable, and easy to load. Extra mags are inexpensive and widely available.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the shooter who wants a dedicated .22 LR trainer that matches the weight and handling of a full-size semi-auto. It’s ideal for new shooters learning fundamentals, experienced shooters working on trigger control, and anyone who needs a reliable small-game gun that doesn’t break the bank. The pink stock also makes it a great option for youth or women who want a rifle that’s unmistakably theirs on the range.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Free-float barrel at this price point is rare — most competitors use a barrel band. It improves accuracy consistency.
• Pro: The receiver is metal, not polymer, which gives a more solid feel and better heat dissipation.
• Con: The factory trigger has some creep and breaks around 6-7 lbs. It’s serviceable but not match-grade. A drop-in trigger upgrade from Timney or Geissele will improve it, but that adds cost.

FAQ

Is the Rossi RS22 barrel threaded for a suppressor?

No, the factory barrel is not threaded. The 18-inch stainless barrel is free-float but does not include a threaded muzzle. If suppressor use is a priority, you’ll need to have a gunsmith thread the barrel or look at models like the Savage 64 FV-SR.

What scope mounts fit the Rossi RS22 receiver?

The receiver has a 3/8-inch dovetail groove. Standard rimfire scope rings (such as Leupold Rifleman or Vortex Hunter) with 3/8-inch dovetail bases will mount directly. No adapter rail is needed unless you want a Picatinny interface.

Does the Rossi RS22 come with more than one magazine?

No, the RS22 ships with one 10-round detachable magazine. Extra magazines are available separately and are compatible with the Rossi RS22 and the T/CR22 platform.

Is the pink stock durable or just painted?

The pink is molded into the synthetic material, not painted. It won’t chip, peel, or fade with normal use. The texture is molded in as well, providing a non-slip grip.
