Rossi Gallery 22LR Pump-Action Rimfire Rifle

The rossi gallery 22lr pump-action rimfire rifle revives a classic Americana action style with modern manufacturing precision. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, this pump-action repeater is engineered for reliable cycling with standard and high-velocity ammunition. Built on Rossi’s proven rimfire platform, it delivers a smooth, short-stroke pump action that appeals to both nostalgic shooters and those seeking a manual-action alternative to semi-automatics. The rifle features a 20-inch blued barrel, a tubular magazine holding 14 rounds, and a traditional hardwood stock with a satin finish. The overall length measures 38 inches, with an unloaded weight of 5.2 pounds, making it highly maneuverable for field use or plinking sessions. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, accommodating both optics and open sights; the factory-installed front bead sight and adjustable rear sight provide reliable out-of-the-box accuracy. This model is a direct descendant of the original Gallery Specials used in carnival shooting galleries and remains a functional, historically influenced firearm for modern shooters.

Overview

The Rossi Gallery 22LR Pump-Action Rimfire Rifle combines a heritage action design with contemporary manufacturing tolerances. The pump-action mechanism cycles via a forend that travels along twin action bars, reducing binding and ensuring consistent extraction and feeding. The tubular magazine is loaded through a spring-loaded port on the right side of the receiver, allowing quick reloads without removing the magazine. The 20-inch barrel is rifled with a 1:16 twist rate, optimized for the ballistic performance of .22 LR rounds from 36-grain to 40-grain loads. The trigger mechanism features a two-stage design with a factory pull weight averaging 4.5 pounds, offering a crisp break with minimal overtravel. The overall fit and finish are consistent with Rossi’s value-oriented manufacturing: metal surfaces are blued with a uniform matte appearance, and the wood stock is straight-grained Brazilian hardwood with a low-gloss lacquer. The rifle accepts standard .22 LR cartridges only; it does not chamber .22 Short or .22 Long. This model is not a replica but a functional production firearm with current safety features, including a cross-bolt safety located at the rear of the trigger guard.

Who It Is For

This rifle is suited for shooters who prefer manual-action cycling over semi-automatic operation. The pump-action design offers a deliberate, tactile shooting experience that can be operated at a moderate cadence without the dependency on gas or recoil systems. It is appropriate for recreational target shooting, informal plinking, and small-game hunting where .22 LR is legal (e.g., squirrel, rabbit, and pest control within applicable state regulations). The lightweight profile and short overall length make it manageable for younger shooters or those of smaller stature, though the 13.75-inch length of pull is standard adult dimensions. Because the action requires manual forend cycling, it may appeal to shooters in jurisdictions with restrictions on semi-automatic rifles or to those seeking a training tool for pump-action shotgun fundamentals. It is not designed for high-volume rapid fire or for use with high-velocity ammunition exceeding 1,300 fps. The Rossi Gallery 22LR Pump-Action Rimfire Rifle is a dedicated rimfire pump gun and is not interchangeable with centerfire components.
