Low recoil and inexpensive ammunition make the RS22 a practical training platform for new shooters or anyone working on fundamentals before moving to a larger caliber. It also works for small game and casual plinking without the ammo costs that come with centerfire rifles.

User sentiment on the Rossi RS22 in Coyote Brown follows patterns similar to the rest of the RS22 line.

Affordability is the most frequently cited positive. The .22 LR caliber keeps ammo costs low, which makes regular practice more accessible. The light weight and compact dimensions are also consistently noted as practical advantages for extended carry or use by smaller-framed shooters.

Accuracy at typical rimfire distances draws positive feedback. Most users report satisfactory performance for plinking and small-game work, and the semi-auto action is seen as a plus for faster follow-up shots.

Reliability is the main source of criticism. Some owners find that certain ammunition types don't cycle reliably through the action. Sticking with quality .22 LR helps, but it's a known characteristic worth accounting for.

The Coyote Brown finish is generally liked, though a handful of users wish more color options were available. Aftermarket support is functional but more limited than what you'd find on more established .22 LR platforms — optics mount easily via the dovetail, but stock and furniture options are narrower.

For the price, most users consider the RS22 a reasonable buy, particularly as a first rifle or dedicated training gun.
