Rossi RS22 22LR Rimfire Rifle (Cosmetic Blemishes)

If you are looking for a reliable, no-fuss rimfire plinker that won’t break the bank, the rossi rs22 22lr rimfire rifle (cosmetic blemishes) is a solid choice. This is the same accurate, lightweight semi-automatic rifle that Rossi is known for, but with minor cosmetic imperfections from the factory or handling. These blemishes are purely visual—typically light scuffs, minor finish variations, or small handling marks—and do not affect function, accuracy, or reliability in any way. For the shooter who cares more about performance than perfect paint, this is an outstanding value on a proven platform.

Overview

The rossi rs22 22lr rimfire rifle (cosmetic blemishes) gives you a handy, 10-round semi-automatic rifle chambered in .22 LR. It features a synthetic stock, a button-rifled barrel, and a fiber optic front sight for quick target acquisition. The action is simple and reliable, making it a great choice for everything from plinking cans to introducing new shooters to the sport. Because these are blemished units, you get the same mechanical quality at a reduced price. We have inspected each rifle to ensure it functions correctly, and the blemishes are exactly that—skin deep. You are getting a true workhorse rimfire without the premium price tag.
