- The Rossi Rio Bravo is a .22 caliber lever action rifle for under $350. In this video I pulled the rifle right out of the box and fired 500+ rounds through it. I give you my opinion on the rifle as well as show you how to load this rifle. Hope you guys enjoy and be sure to subscribe if you're interested in firearms content.
.22 magnum, too… or did you mis-speak?
Not .22 magnum. Chalk it up to faulty info from a gun store that doesn’t know as much as they claim.
I bought a new Henry 22 lever gun with the hexagon barrel, good shooter but when the paint started to peel off the cheap diecast receiver cover I touched it up and sold it.
Rossi, Henry, Marlin..... Whatever. I love any lever action in .22lr. I wish I could have them all. But here in South Africa it is not easy to buy any firearm at will. I do have a Winchester 9422 and love it.
We own the polymer model, and after a repair it has done just fine for us...the missus selected it because it has the nice sights on it, and our old eyes appreciate them...we also own a couple of the Henry's, and I can say there are only minor differences in the two models as far as accuracy goes...the rifles are our primary plinking firearms, seeing several thousand rounds of the cheapest bulk we can find every year...with better ammo the rifles are accurate enough for squirrel, or similar critters...the only problem these days is the occasional dud rounds, still the bane of bulk .22lr...reliable, easy to maintain, accurate enough, and a good price, we can recommend either brand to anyone...especially a good firearm for someone with kids old enough to learn shooting, and not break the bank doing it...
Thanks for the insight and glad you enjoyed the video
I bought the Rossi 22 Magnum version today . Perfect Trail rifle. The 22 version is next
389$ for the 22 Magnum. A little pricier but worth it.
How has the magnum held up ? I've got my sights on that rossi 22wmr and haven't pulled the trigger
Nice honest review, looks like a fun little gun.
Cheers from Australia
.22 Magnum casings are a different diameter than S/L/LR and will not fit a rifle so chambered. The only time the magnum rounds interchange would be dual cylindered revolvers because the bore diameter is close enough and the other cylinder replaces one chamber size for another.
Thanks for the clarification
Also they have a longer casing that will not eject correctly. I would assume if they did eject they would stovepipe with every round
Rossi did make a 22 Magnum Rio Bravo for one year. I don't know how many were produced. When I called Rossi I gave them the model number the person first asked me to repeat that number? She then put me on hold for a couple of minutes. When she came back I was told those were a special production run, I had a factory made rifle in 22WMR.
I got one special edition very nice rifle too.
I have a old Rossi pre safety lever action love it.
I was pleasantly surprised by this rifle. An absolute joy to shoot. Thanks for sharing
Hey man realy like your video
Thank you for the informative video
You got a new sub
Own a rio bravo, with the wood stock it comes with a big loop lever here in France. To be honest even though my Browning BL22 is a well engineered rifle i prefer shooting the Rossi.
Good review. The rifle seems to perform well through several strings of fire.
Thanks, I was surprised myself
Got one works very well, Australia
Great intro to the Rio Bravo.
I need to confirm the 22 magnum option, as that would add to the rifle performance.
That was what I was told but I haven’t tested it. I’ll be sure to put out a part 2 when I do. Thanks for commenting
@@fanoffirearms did you ever test it?
After 11 months how is it doing pard ? Any trouble or problems ?
Just picked one up 👍💎 sweet!
Hello, on this Rio Bravo, can we adapt a scope and a bipod?
You can. It has a standard sling attachment point at the front you could put a bipod on. It also has a dovetail rail for optics. You could find a dovetail to picatinny adapter to make it easier.
@@fanoffirearms Thank you so much
The Henry H001 classic out the door for $375 is a much better rifle and deal.'..and I am a big fan of Rossi lever guns...but that little Henry is a much better deal.
$334 shipped, no tax Henry Classic @kygunco.
Where is that
@@Sean-John Georgia
How did you get that deal?
the 22 mag is a different rifle
Rub a brown crayon in the scratches
Also you can go to Walmart and get a staining touch-up pen that can cover the gouges. Nice video by the way!
@@robertwalker8453 and now I own one. See the bad influence you guys are. It's light enough that my 16 year old daughter likes it better than her 39a. I might trade her my Mountie. It's a bit lighter also.
What distance are you shooting from....???Duh..?
🔥🇺🇸
This rifle is not rated for 22 Magnum.... don't do it
22 magnum....??? No way..!!
Hey a pinch of Black walnut old English will fix that gouge.
Thanks for the tip
Your like your in a movie slow down
Poor product knowledge.... hard to watch.....22 L R..? 🤪
What do you expect when he just got the rifle?
If you think that gun shoots good and the target looks like a sawd off shotgun blast hit it, you need to raise your expectations for what a good shooting gun is.
I had one of these Rossi lever guns and it gave me a 6 inch group at 25 yards with CCI minimags and I took it back to the dealer because it was defective. The muzzle chipped and cracked badly the first trip to the range.
These guns are now showing up with other problems with the actions as well.

Truthfully the target at the end isn’t a good representation of the rifle’s accuracy. That’s what happens when you shoot 500 rounds in a row and get bored after the first 2 tubes. I didn’t aim every shot as well as I could and was mostly focused on getting thorough the ammo to see if it had any hiccups. Your comment does make me want to revisit it and check it’s accuracy after shooting several thousand rounds through it.
I forgot to mention, the 6 inch group at 25 yards was with a Nikon scope mounted on it, so there was no excuse about getting used to the sights
