Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Rossi RS22M come with optics or sights installed?
No, the RS22M ships without any iron sights installed, making it fully optics-ready. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope base, so you can easily mount a rimfire scope or red dot sight to maximize the rifle's effective range with .22 Magnum ammunition.
What is the thread pitch on the RS22M's barrel, and what suppressors or muzzle devices are compatible?
The Rossi RS22M features a standard 1/2×28 threaded muzzle, which is the most common thread pattern for .22 caliber rimfire rifles. This makes it compatible with a wide range of suppressors, thread protectors, and muzzle brakes designed for .22 LR or .22 Magnum — just ensure any suppressor is rated for .22 WMR pressures and velocities.
Can I use .22 LR ammunition in the Rossi RS22M?
No. The Rossi RS22M is chambered exclusively for .22 WMR (.22 Magnum) and is not compatible with .22 LR cartridges. The two calibers differ in case dimensions and chamber specifications. Always use .22 Magnum ammunition to ensure safe and reliable operation of this firearm.
