The Rossi RS22 is a straightforward semi-automatic .22 LR built to be affordable enough that ammunition, not the rifle, is the main expense of a day's shooting. It feeds from a detachable magazine, wears an 18-inch barrel and comes with fiber-optic sights that pick up light well for quick shots on squirrels and cans alike.

The black and gray synthetic stock shrugs off weather and rough handling. As a first rifle, a camp gun or a truck plinker, it does exactly what a rimfire semi-auto should.
