For 2018, Rossi has introduced an economical line of rimfire bolt-action rifles, the RB Series. Available chambered in .22 Long Rifle, .22 WMR and .17 HMR, the .22 Long Rifle model comes with an 18” barrel and adjustable fiber-optic sights, while the .22 Magnum and .17 HMR versions utilize a 21” barrel and do not come supplied with irons. All three rifles wear a Monte Carlo-style, black synthetic stock and weigh in right around 4 lbs. when empty. Rossi’s new rimfires will come to market at an MSRP of only $179.
