This model, chambered in .22 Long Rifle, offers a traditional double-action revolver platform suited for target practice and small game.

Overview

The Rossi R98 is a nine-shot revolver built on a compact frame, designed for the .22LR cartridge. The double-action trigger mechanism allows for rapid follow-up shots, while the single-action mode provides a lighter, more precise trigger pull for deliberate aiming. The revolver features a fixed front sight and a rear sight notch machined into the top strap, providing a clear sight picture for plinking and informal target shooting. The cylinder swings out for loading and unloading, accepting standard .22LR rounds. The cosmetic blemishes on this specific offering may include minor scratches, handling marks, or slight discoloration on the barrel or frame, resulting from factory handling or storage. These imperfections are purely aesthetic and do not compromise the revolver’s mechanical reliability or safety.
