Rossi Rio Bravo 22LR Lever-Action Rimfire Rifle with Black Synthetic Stock

The rossi rio bravo 22lr lever-action rimfire rifle with black synthetic stock delivers a reliable, lightweight platform for plinking, small game hunting, and target practice. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, this lever-action rifle balances traditional handling with modern durability. The black synthetic stock resists moisture and impact, making it a practical choice for field use. With a 16.5-inch barrel and an overall length of 36 inches, the Rio Bravo is compact enough for truck or saddle scabbard storage while maintaining a full-length sight radius for accuracy.

Overview

Rossi designed the Rio Bravo to offer the familiar cycling of a lever gun in an affordable rimfire package. The action cycles smoothly thanks to a short-throw lever, allowing for rapid follow-up shots without excessive hand travel. The rifle feeds from a tubular magazine with a capacity of 15 rounds, providing ample ammunition for a day at the range or a hunt. The barrel is button-rifled for consistent bullet engagement, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting. The black synthetic stock includes a ventilated rubber recoil pad, reducing felt recoil to near zero with .22 LR ammunition.

Who It’s For

This rifle suits shooters who value the manual of arms of a lever gun but want the low cost and low recoil of .22 LR. It is appropriate for new shooters learning rifle fundamentals, as the lightweight design and light trigger pull reduce fatigue. Experienced pistol-caliber carbine shooters will find the Rio Bravo familiar in handling. Small game hunters will appreciate the quiet cycling and ability to carry a full magazine without printing. The synthetic stock makes it a reliable choice for wet or humid environments where wood stocks might swell or warp.

The rossi rio bravo 22lr lever-action rimfire rifle with black synthetic stock is also a practical option for those wanting a training analog to larger-caliber lever actions. The same manual of arms applies, but with cheaper ammunition and negligible recoil. It is not a long-range precision tool, but it delivers consistent accuracy within 50 to 75 yards with standard velocity ammunition.
