Thoughts on Rossi rb22?

[DerMerchant]

Made an impulse buy today at academy, a Rossi rb22 for $130 out the door. Since I sold my 10/22 all I had was a Remington 550 for a .22 rifle and I've never owned a .22 bolt gun. Seems to be OK quality, the bolt is a bit stiff but I like the sights. Anyone esle have experience with it?

I had a rossi 802 heavy barrel, which looks like pretty much the same gun except for the finish and barrel weight. Mine was accurate, reliable, and generally a good buy. Think I spent 250 mine.

Short review I did of the 802, nothing really changed in terms of my opinions over the time I owned the gun. I'd still buy another if I found one on sale.

Looks like I made a fine choice. I'm away from home ATM and can't find any .22, as soon as I get back I'll head to the range and report back.

I have an RB22 and frankly enjoy it far more than my 10/22 and find it's nearly as accurate as my older experienced 22s. It's a fun little carbine.

Took it to the range a few days ago, easy to zero and had about a 1.5 in group at 50 yards with a tang container of mixed ammo. Very nice trigger, almost no take up or creep, crisp and light with no over travel. Sights a are a bit coarse and the fiber optics don't work so well indoors, but easy to sight in.
