Features 

 
The free-floating, button-rifled barrel reduces interference from the stock during firing, which benefits accuracy. Fiber optic sights work well in varying light and are easier to acquire quickly than standard iron sights. The dovetail base accommodates a scope or red dot if you want to go that route. 
 
At 31.20 inches overall and 3.25 lbs, this is one of the more compact and lightweight .22 bolt guns available, which makes it practical for smaller-framed shooters or anyone who wants an easy-to-pack rifle.

The Rossi RB22 Compact in .22 LR FDE draws reasonably positive reviews for the price point. The compact dimensions and 3.25 lb weight are the top-mentioned positives — it handles easily and younger shooters can manage it without trouble. Accuracy at typical rimfire distances is good, and most owners note the bolt action is simple and reliable.

Build quality feedback is split. Most buyers are satisfied for what they paid; a smaller group finds some components feel less substantial than what you'd find on pricier rifles. That said, for the category and price this is largely expected.

The fiber optic sights are well-liked and the FDE finish gets consistent positive mentions. The dovetail rail gives owners who want optics an easy path to upgrade.

Overall the RB22 Compact reads as a solid budget .22 bolt gun — good accuracy, light, and easy to use, with build quality in line with its price.
