On this week's #SundayGunday, were checking out the RB22 Compact, a fun little rimfire from Rossi USA that will appeal to plinkers, junior shooters and small-game hunters alike. Incredibly lightweight and portable, this is a bolt-action that is ready to throw up to your shoulder and shoot as soon as you open the box. Open sights adorn its 16-inch barrel—a fiber optic, hooded red front sight, and a green fiber optic U-notch rear. The rear is easily adjustable for both elevation and windage, thanks to two, simple-to-use knobs. It’s muzzle is threaded to 1/2x28 TPI for the easy attachment of a suppressor. Thanks to its lightweight .22 Long Rifle chambering and bolt-action operation, suppressing this little shooter is a real treat. Without any reciprocating material, the gun is incredibly quiet, and shooting it suppressed is so effective it might even help you pick off a few more squirrels before the woods get wise.
The action feeds from a 10-round magazine, keeping you on target for longer and allowing for easy reloads when your magazine does run dry. A short length of pull combines with the diminutive overall length of just 31.2 inches to make this a gun you can get on target quickly and efficiently. A cross-bolt safety, easily actuated with the trigger finger, also helps with this. To the rear of the receiver, a cocking indicator gives shooters a visual indication that the gun is live, a real boon when training up junior hunters. For more information on this excellent starter gun, or fun all around plinker which sports a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of just $209.99, visit rossiusa.com.
