Rossi RS22 22LR Rimfire Rifle (Cosmetic Blemishes)
Overview
The Rossi RS22 22LR Rimfire Rifle (Cosmetic Blemishes) offers the same reliable semi-automatic performance as the standard model at a reduced cost due to minor surface imperfections. These blemishes are strictly cosmetic, typically involving small scratches or finish variations that do not affect function, accuracy, or durability. As a cost-effective entry point for plinking, pest control, or training, this blemished variant provides full mechanical integrity without the premium price tag. Each rifle is factory-tested and carries the same Rossi warranty as non-blemished units.
