Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mount a scope or red dot on the Rossi RS22M?
Yes. The RS22M ships without iron sights, making it designed with optics in mind. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a standard Weaver or Picatinny-style rail, allowing you to easily mount a rimfire scope, red dot, or reflex sight for precise target acquisition at extended ranges.
How does .22 Magnum compare to .22 LR for hunting small game?
.22 WMR (Magnum) offers significantly more muzzle velocity — typically 1,900–2,200 fps compared to around 1,100–1,300 fps for .22 LR — resulting in a flatter trajectory and greater energy at distance. This makes the RS22M notably more effective on larger small game like jackrabbits, fox squirrels, and ground hogs at ranges up to 100 yards and beyond.
Does the RS22M accept aftermarket magazines?
The Rossi RS22M uses a proprietary detachable box magazine specifically designed for .22 WMR. One 10-round magazine is included with the rifle. Rossi-compatible replacement and spare magazines are available through authorized dealers; standard .22 LR magazines are not compatible due to the larger cartridge dimensions of .22 Magnum.
