If you are shopping for a reliable, budget-friendly plinker or small-game rifle, the Rossi RS22 22LR rimfire rifle (cosmetic blemishes) is a solid choice that punches well above its price point.

For the shooter who values performance over showroom perfection, this is a great way to get a dependable semiautomatic .22 LR without paying full retail. We have inspected a sample of these blems in-house, and the marks are purely cosmetic—the bolts cycle smoothly, the barrels are true, and the triggers break cleanly.
