On the positive side, the price is the most common point of praise. Owners who want a lever-action rimfire without spending heavily on a Henry or Marlin find it hits a reasonable price point. The fun factor is real: most people who shoot it enjoy the lever action format for plinking and small game. The classic look gets mentioned often, and several owners note reliable function with quality ammunition. The criticisms are predictable. Some users feel the build quality is lighter than higher-end lever guns, with a few components that feel less solid by comparison. Accuracy at longer distances gets flagged occasionally, and factory sights draw some dissatisfaction from those wanting to mount optics. The 12-round capacity is fine for most uses but occasionally draws comparison to higher-capacity rimfire semi-autos. A handful of new owners report a break-in period before function smooths out. Overall it reads as a solid recreational rifle at its price point, with the usual caveats about not expecting premium-tier fit and finish. ## Pricing **13 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | Guns Com | $349.99 | | Gritrsports Com | $369.99 | | Shootingsurplus Com | $371.99 | | RK Guns | $374.97 | | Centerfiresystems Com | $375.99 | | Primaryarms Com | $379.99 | | Gunbuyer Com | $381.95 | | Kygunco Com | $381.95 | | Guns Com | $381.99 | | Impactguns Com | $382.29 | *...and 3 more offers* ## Reviews **Average Rating:** 5.0/5 (1 reviews) > **nora_k** (5/5): A very fine rifle with a genuinely pleasing hardwood stock. ## Similar Products - [Rossi Rio Bravo Liberty .22 LR Lever Action Rifle - 15rd, Eagle Engraving](https://gunsnation.com/p/rossi-rio-bravo-liberty-22-lr-lever-action-rifle-15rd-eagle-engraving/UCDI10PEZ) - [Rossi Rio Bravo .22 LR Lever Action Rifle](https://gunsnation.com/p/rossi-rio-bravo-22-lr-lever-action-rifle/UCDI10L1I) - [Rossi Rio Bravo .22 LR Gold Edition Lever Rifle - 18" Satin Hardwood](https://gunsnation.com/p/rossi-rio-bravo-22-lr-gold-edition-lever-rifle-18-satin-hardwood/UCDI106i6) - [Rossi Rio Bravo "Betsy Ross" .22 LR Lever-Action Heritage Rifle](https://gunsnation.com/p/rossi-rio-bravo-betsy-ross-22-lr-lever-action-heritage-rifle/UCDI10REj) - [Rossi Rio Bravo .22 LR Lever Rifle - 18" Wood/Blue, 15rd](https://gunsnation.com/p/rossi-rio-bravo-22-lr-lever-rifle-18-wood-blue-15rd/UCDI0zzvA) - [Rossi Rio Bravo .22 LR Lever Rifle - Black/Gold, 15+1 Capacity](https://gunsnation.com/p/rossi-rio-bravo-22-lr-lever-rifle-black-gold-15-1-capacity/UCDI106lI) --- *Data from [GunsNation](https://gunsnation.com)*
