I picked one up today for about $5. $99 sale, plus $75 gift card and $25 off anything at the store! Wow! She’s in my safe now. 😃
My dad and I ended up buying a couple of these. One of the best purchases made! Great rifle! Easy to shoot, load/unload. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a nice .22 rifle.
I bought a black stock version at my Rural King for $129 and I absolutely love it! Very accurate and fun to shoot. Nothing bad at all to say about it!
Update: I have since bought one of these, and I can honestly tell you, this is a sweet .22 repeater, it's great for plinking and simple target shooting.
( Another gun that Sootch00 'made me' buy! )
Reg Sparkes just got one for 89 bucks. I feel like I stole it.. lol
@@dustinmikesell7908 Good stuff! I`m sure you`ll find that sootch00 described it well! It is a great shooter.
I had the 702 version of this one a few years ago. Out of the box the barrel was crooked, shot ok with a scope, no go with the iron sights. Contacted Mossberg and they replaced the barrel and gave me 2 extra magazines for the inconvenience. It actually shot better with the new barrel than before. Good customer service, imo...
I've had one for several years. I love this gun. You can shoot it outdoors with no hearing protection. Very accurate, and I actually found 20 round clips for this gun. Bought a couple.
MAGAZINES
CCI stingers, 1600 feet per second, they actually carry a bit of energy, not quite 9mm numbers, but creeping up there energy wise, with the high velocity.
@@jameskirk3 "Not quite 9mm power" you realize standard 9mm is just around 1100 fps right?
@@Internaught-The-Wise He just means raw muzzle energy, not velocity. Stingers are much faster than your average 9mm round, but the bullet is also significantly lighter, so they still don't pack as much of a punch as 9mm
Link? Please
Back in 1969 or 70 I bought a Rossi model 62 22LR because it looked just like the Winchester I had owned before that. I still have it and it is just as reliable as the Winchester. Great squirrel gun.
Picked mine up today. Great little 22... ran about 150 rds through it . Great video!🇺🇸🍀
I bought one about 8 months ago and absolutely accurate as any 22 I have shot they are great rifles at a great price.
Just got one for Christmas, so far it is very accurate, lightweight, and have had no jams whatsoever. Good first gun or just target shooter 👍🏻
this looks like it would make a great truck survival gun. Super cheap, so it wouldn't hurt too bad to buy one and just leave it in the truck.. 22 cal is super cheap as well and very versatile. Im very intrigued by this gun!
You can lock the bolt back by pulling the cocking lever to rearward position and pushing the cocking lever toward the firearm. Makes taking the empty mag out much easier. Just thought I'd share
True. Every video I've watched mentions last round with mag.
Nobody has mentioned without mag,bolt locked open.
Buddy of mine has a 702 plinkster, everyone hates the mag release, and he just taught me that yesterday haha. I always saw the arrow on the charging handle, but I never realized it was an instruction hahaha
@@pauldodds6271 I'll drop a video soon if my custom rs22
This channel earned my sub for reviewing guns people actually own. Awesome!
Found one online for $97, can’t wait to try it out. I haven’t shot a .22 in years, it’s high time to own one at that price.
Just bought one today at the local range for the nephew and sister in law to practice with for $113 out the door. Excited to see how it performs next range day.
I really like the amount of detail that you go into for your videos. I purchased this thing a while back ago thinking it was just a cheap plinkster and it is, but it’s also an extremely reliable and well operating rifle and you can’t beat that price. This may not have all the bells and whistles but it’s still a quality firearm. The only thing you didn’t mention, which you’re probably aware of, is the manual bolt hold open that it has. When you pull the charging handle all the way back and then you press it in towards the receiver it will keep the bolt recessed for cleaning or inspection.
I just shot mine for the first time today I bought it for my girlfriend because she’s new to firearms and I wanted something she can learn on and what a great rifle for the money and it’s light but anyways she loved it I loved it I’m happy I picked one up 👍
I love Rossi my brothers and I used the one that had two barrels, single shot and would shoot apples out of a tree and have over 1,000 through my g2c and it’s ran flawlessly
Pulled the trigger on this little rifle and wow your in-depth look at it makes me happy I bought it
We got the green one and in love with it, outstanding little rifle
Nice. Remarkable accuracy. And THANK YOU for testing the RIFLE's accuracy from a solid rest. So many reviewers test "accuracy" shooting offhand with rifles and pistols. This tells us NOTHING about the accuracy of the GUN. This is one of those "why not" rifles to have. I have a couple extra scopes in my safe looking for a home. I may just have to go pick one of these up.
Thanks for watching Gary!
I bought one today and put about 400 rounds through it with no failure. That’s amazing for a .22 lr. Love the sights too. I honestly might like it more than my ruger 10/22
Serious
Very informative review...since I actually bought it today after walking into Academy Sports. Glad to know I made the right choice!
Purchased this rifle the other day and I was extremely pleased as to how light it was. The look, feel and the price had me sold at $130. Just finished bore sighting it last night so I'll try to dial it in better today. We live in the country and I needed a small caliber around the house and this is perfect for that. Definitely recommend to anyone in the market for this little guy. Thanks for the vid well detailed 👍
Thanks for the review! I just ordered one. I was just taking inventory of my ammunition and remembered that I had plenty of .22LR but no gun for it. lol
When he grouped those 10rds @25yds i was pretty amazed, then he mentioned the price and that was it!!!.... Im buying one this friday!!
I have a vintage nickel plated Rossi gallery gun in mint condition my great grandfather bought new, it’s the best gun ever super accurate and fun to shoot. I just picked up the Rossi in this video too I can’t wait to try it
Thanks for the review, now I’m very interested in this rifle. It looks a lot better in this video than it does on just the online stock photos
Every gun im going to buy u have a review for it thats why i love your channel your honest legit and post on just about any gun i could think of 👍
Dunham's has them for $114.99 and a $25 mail in rebate right now from Rossi, so $90 all in! Can't wait to take mine out and shoot it.
Bought mine from them
Rossi RS22 vs Mossberg 702…what say ye?
I don't have a Dunham's here in Arizona 🙁
I got one of these last year and its fun as heck. I had a steel torso target set out at 125 yards and have a nikon scope with bdc reticle. Figured out which dot was for what range. And man. It was plinking everytime
Such a cool carbine. I would enjoy shooting that right now! Would love to give it as a Christmas gift to my nieces/nephew.
It is so much fun plinking with a 22 semi auto!
Love that low recoil. I'm 6 feet tall at 225 lbs so I can probably take some recoil, but I'm a beginner. Gotta grab me one of these! Thanks so much for this video!
You most definitely can. I'm 5'9 and 215 and I can take some. Always good to start with something with similar recoil to a red ryder though
@@yaboidustin2447 I grabbed one of these in summer 2020, loved it, then got into pistols and got my CPL. Now my fave is a TNW Aero Survival Rifle in 9mm. Pew Pew Pew!
Just bought the RS22 and can’t wait to take it to the range. Now I have 2 Taurus products in my home 😁
Got mine for 100 bucks thanks to you sharing those deals on Facebook!
Same
Terrific review! I bought mine a few weeks ago when PSA had them on their 'Deal of the Day' for $99.99 shipped. I added an Amazon TwoD 3-9x40 illuminated reticle scope for another $24 and I adore this little rifle! I'm not a fan of the 25 round mag hanging off the bottom, so I've been stocking up on 10 rounders from my local gun shop. I have more money in the magazines than I have in the rifle itself! Loll
And then of course you have to add the sales tax and then the transfer fee which brings it up to about retail price.. of course the state has to get their collection
@@ironcladpatriot5829 No sales tax here- Just a straight $30 transfer fee
$100.00 out the door cost if you wait for the sale. Fantastic little 22lr. Accurate and light weight.
Great rifle
Thank you , you've helped me make my mind up , was thinking about buying a Ruger but , I saw a video on this gun last week an have watched several , now I'm getting one with a few extra mags !
I recently started takin' my Rossi 22 LR SS pump to the range. I forgot how much fun it is.
I just ordered one 3 weeks ago online and can't wait to have fun with it. I didn't know it has a lifetime warranty, thanks for that info.
Limited lifetime warranty right?
Great review 👍 and...omg you've got that 22 dialed in. I really like my Rossi rs22
Just saw these local and looked up a review video. Nice looking firearm. I really like the sights on it.
Good stuff.
114 bucks at my local Upstate New York Walmart. I was so happy to find it. Great rifle!
Thx for the review I’m getting one on sale for 99$ at academy
Use the charge card and get $15 discount
Cayden thanks just bought 2 thanks $99 is hard to pass
Dammit! I already have 5 semiauto 22s, guess one more won't hurt especially at $99. The wifeys gonna tell me "Another one!"" I'll say "Merry Christmas to me!"
TX .85 nice I love mine
TX .85 yeah
I've seen these for around $100-$120 at Rural King. I think I will end up getting one now.
RK had them on sale yesterday for 90. That's why I'm here
Bought one a couple months ago for$ 99 and I am very happy with it...
Nice. I just ordered one 8.14.20 and it already shipped. Only $109 which is an awesome price considering everything going on. Should make a nice little addition to my collection. Looks like a lot of gun for the money.
The instant that I saw the font of the Rossi name on the receiver, I felt I knew that it was made at the same factory as was the Mossberg 702 Plinkster. That it takes the 'Plinkster' magazine
also confirms this.
The Mossberg 702 is a good little rifle and I enjoy shooting with it.
This Rossi RS22 should be a fun rifle as well.
That would be interesting to find out.... thanks Reg!
What optic if any would you put on the 702? I'm not sure if I would like it more with a decent inexpensive scope or a red dot (might need an adapter).
@@shmuckling I have used both with equal benefits ( to me ) to my shooting/plinking ability. The choice is your's. ( Opps ! I forgot to say, that in my opinion, you will not
be disappointed with either. ) I like and use the Bushnell TRS-25 Red Dot and a Hawke 2-7 x 32 AO scope both do the job perfectly.
with the exception of the mag release, it looks like and reminds me of the old Marlin model 70's.
I got mine all together with Tax, 400 rounds and BG check for 149$ and it shoots like a dream, you can't beat that...
Sey Sootch, watched your review and couldn't resist. I had to go get me one.
Great job on the vid . . . Thanks
My bud got one of these . It was decent . $100 for a semi auto is a deal . Nicer than the savage feature wise with the charging handle and mag release and clips are better it looks plus an available 25 rd clip is a good choice if there’s not enough $$ for a Ruger 10-22 which seems to be the best all around .22 hands down
Thanks for the review. I just picked one up today on an impulse buy. The first thing that I noticed was the stock. Mine appears to have been hydro dipped in a carbon fiber look. Pretty cool look. For me, the stock fits perfectly. When I shoulder it, it snaps into a perfect sight picture. Second, the sights are nice and bright. I haven't shot it yet, so, no comments there.
Can you do an update please
@@jonahsymes4060 I'll drop a video soon
Bought one last month. First rifle. Am shooting VERY well with it!
Hey guys, I just got this as my first .22 today and it was a great choice
I've got the Mag Tech 7022 - same gun with an older wood stock. I've had it for years and the only thing I've done is replace the recoil spring. Great gun for $65 way back when!
My dad had one of those. He gave 99 at Walmart about 20 years ago
Arma linda,e eficiente!!!
Bom video de apresentação!!!
For anybody coming across this review that might be considering buying one of these. If you want to save yourself the issues of misfeeds and have proper gun operation from the start follow the manual that comes with the rifle. It tells you to basically clean off the oil in and on the rifle, clean the barrel, and lubricate it with actual gun oil. If you really want to, take it apart and just wipe it off and give it a CLP treatment and it should be good to go. The oil they coat it with is to prevent rust, much like a brake rotor, but it is very sticky and not very lubricating. Trust me, it's worth the 20 minutes. I use Gun grease on the bolt and slide surfaces (Mil-Comm TW25B) and light gun oil on the trigger andhammer springs and pivots as well as the striker. If you are going to be using it in cold weather, skip the grease and use straight gun oil.
@@chadhaire1711 On the springs and pins they pivot on. These locations are recommended for lubrication with a light oil by the manufacturer in the manual it comes with. Who's the idiot? Thanks, have a nice day. (Try reading harder next time.)
thanks Oddball
I picked up one of these for $80 at pawn shop 2 weeks ago and it’s been a great little rifle
I believe Rossi makes the Mossberg version. Good rifle. Got one at Academy in one of those two for one deals.
I seen this and avoided it based on the price figuring it would be terrible and blow up in my hand. However, with the rifle that I want being impossible to find, I was just going to wait until whenever. However a friend brought this out shooting and right away, the sights alone are worth the price. It shot well. I only put 20 rounds through it but it did make me think I’d pick one of these up until I go Ruger Precision and or Buckmark Carbine. In all honesty it was a fun little rifle and I regret not putting more shots through it to see how it help up after 100+ rounds.
Wish I saw this gun before buying my 22. Looks awesome.
Some really good trigger follow-through. Most people's trigger finger bounces like they are having a spasm.
Press the trigger like these folks: deliberately, and pause before letting it forward to reset. Your groups will shrink.
I used to have a .22 rifle from the Philippines that looked exactly like that
Edit - Armscor model 20
I've owned a savage 64 before. Good little rifle also
They have it in a takedown model now. Way less than the Ruger. Good rifles.
I just found one of these brand new at a gun show and even found one of the 25rd Mossberg mags - what a great little plinker for the price
Thank you for your review.
We bought one, and we enjoyed this rifle.
God Bless the USA 🇺🇸
I know this video is a few years old, but I just finally bought one for $109.00. I consider myself a flea market collector of 22 rifles. I have everything from an old Glenfield Marlin bolt action that cost a few dollars, Henry's for silhouette shoots, to a Bergara B14R and a bunch of modded out Ruger 10/22's in the $1000's. I love shooting 22's of all kinds. I actually love this little rifle for the money. I have made it my "truck gun". I bought an extra mag, put a cheapie Tasco scope on it, and have a couple of bricks of ammo in the truck. It shoots the same groups that you were shooting. I'm sure Rossi sent a couple that they knew would be accurate, but mine was off the shelf and straight from the store. Best $100 I ever spent on a 22.
I love Rossi.
I've been a fan for years,Ever since I bought me a new Saddle Gun in shorter barrel lever action 357 16in barrel.
Before that I thought Rossi was a cheap ass gun..man was I wrong.
This is a nice little 22 for a behind the seat truck gun.Im not a fan of the big sights on a rifle.Too hard to get a fine bead on target.A scope fixes that.Those fiber optic sights are fine for a hand gun ,but not so much on a small caliber in my opinion
I think this gun is a real winner.
Thanks Trey! Rossi has never disappointed me and the price is right.
I still have my Rossi 22lr pump from when I was 10-12yrs as my trapping gun. Still shooting :)
My favorite gun shop just had this on sale on Saturday for $89!!! Hard to beat.
Where at
"...sold it, regretted it..."
I know how you feel, Sootch, all too well.
Looks like CBC of Brasil makes this for Rossi and the Plinkster for Mossberg. So do you like "Chevy" or "Buick"? Same Assembly line for both, and CBC is doing the same thing. But this Rossi looks a little more "Adult" to me. I like the Cheek Rises and the fatter forend. Thanks again and Take Care.
Thanks Leslie! There are some really cool features on the Rossi.
Hello. I bought my Rossi sr22 today. So fall shot 25 rds. Love it so far.
Bought mine for 100 bucks and love it. It came with 2 mags.
Looks exactly like a Marlin I had,M1 carbine styled.
Not sure which I'd rather have this or ruger 10/22? I'm buying one sooner than later, but after watching the video I'm steering towards the Rossi! Great video! 👍
Nice video Don. I just picked up the exact same pair for my Grandson's. It covers Christmas and birthdays. We took the youngest one to make sure it would fit. Time for Grandpa to show them the way, God knows the "donor" won't spend the time with them. 2AEDU speaks highly of your channel so I came here first for the review.
Just picked one up for my 9 year old sons birthday haven’t shot it yet but it looks cool
As of today, 3/26/19, at least in NC, Rural King has this rifle on sale for $99.99.
I'll have to look it up on there website . I got a great deal on a crossbow from rural king . I love that store ! Rural king is a preppers paradise, I could spend all day at that place .
I turned 18 yesterday and the first thing I did was go down there and buy myself one of these. Saving for something much bigger though.
This gun seems a bit boring - If I was going with a cheaper 22 option - I think I would recommend the Marlin 60 it has history and character. If you prefer a magazine option go with the Marlin 795. If you have more money that you need to spend go with the Ruger 10/22.
Marlin 795!!
Fman1292 - have you ever shoot a Marlin? They are freakishly accurate, made in Merica, and about the same price when bought on sale. (Maybe few bucks more)
sootch00 I take all of your great reviews and explanations of differnt rifles and pistols this month after watching you channel I bought a Canik tp9 sf,great money gun also just got Taurus TX 22 for wife and wanting a less expensive 22 lr picking up Rossi rs 22 for $177 all because of Your expert coverage really want to thank you Tucson Tim
O wow, you said the first gun you ever bought was a Rossi revolver 38. That was exactly my first experience, same gun. Ok am subscribing NOW.
That looks almost identical to a Mossberg Plinkster 702
Uses the same magazines.... : )
Andrew Hughes both are made in Brazil... probably in the same factory
Is the same rifle, made by CBC (magtech) factory in Brazil. The only difference is the stock.
Gustavo Xavier what's the price difference?
@@barryfields2964 I picked up a 702 from Walmart for around $120. Decent little rifle but seems to be prone to stovepipes, especially when rapid firing.
Great review!! Could you do a video about making a comprehensive firearms system. What are the firearms that everyone show own? pistol, shotgun, rifle, etc. Thanks!!!
Thanks CYA! I've talked about it in the past but it's time to talk about it again. I appreciate the inspiration!
Nice! Hello I about died when ya mentioned the Rossi Pump 22! I actually inherited My Dads.!.
Great Gun! Fun to shoot & accurate as all get out! & its got the octigon Barrel So it actually has a little heft to it!.
Nice review as always, God bless you brother
Found out that from October 25th till the 31st if you reserve the Taurus TH9C for $299.99 through Academy Sports online for November 12th through 18th in store pickup you'll get the Rossi RS22 free.👍 I would post the link but due to CZcams policy 😞
Now that's a sweet deal! Thanks Brother!
7/6/2019 Those are on sale at a nearby sporting goods store for $91--went and got one!
misharyutubbee I got mine for 89 bucks on New Years with 1400 rounds for 40 bucks...
Felt like I was robbing the place!
I want one! Thanks sootch! Really enjoy your videos .
I always liked the looks and feel of these. After closer inspection I just couldn’t deal with the excess plastic parts
“ let’s check it out “. I laugh every video
I use see-thru scope rings on my 22s that have iron sights.
Just bought the Green one for my great nephew (his first gun). Looking forward to teaching him gun safety and shooting. Range day coming soon. Thanks for the video and info on the gun. 👍✌️
What kind of moron buys a kid a semi auto. Ya teach him safety on the most dangerous type of action. Hur durrrrr
He is very well versed on guns. He was taught safety well before he ever shot one and before I bought him one. My brother is Law enforcement and a good friend is a weapons instructor. He handles/shoots everything we take to the range from AR15's, 357, 44 mag, 45 and more so that message about him owning a 22 LR is quite laughable to me.
Love and respect to our shooting friends in the US.
Love to you-all too Brother and Sister!!!!!!!! God Bless!!!!!!
The day the grid breaks... the day when civil unrest escalate to a full-fledged war makes you question when it is safe to sleep... you can chose the government to protect you... or yourself with a simple .22 rifle like this.
Should that day come to be someday... I can only hope I come across your crew Sootch, you know what you are doing, and I wouldn't mind learning a thing or two from you in person
Just bought this rifle (my fist gun I've ever owned)
Looking forward to trying it out.
Hey mike just got one today I got a question is your charging handle loose on yours? Mine is loose with forward but when locked back it’s not?
Always a well done review!
I was laughing about the bloopers at the end. you should add that to all the videos
