The Rossi RS22 is a semi-automatic .22 LR rifle built around the idea that a rimfire trainer shouldn't cost much or weigh much. At 4.1 lbs and 36.25 inches overall, it's easy to carry through a full range session. The OD Green synthetic stock with matte black receiver is a practical pairing — the stock handles rough conditions without complaint.

Features 

 
The semi-auto action cycles quickly for follow-up shots. Fiber optic sights pick up in varied lighting where plain iron sights lose contrast. The free-float barrel reduces contact with the stock during firing, which helps consistency. A 3/8" dovetail receiver is cut into the top rail for mounting a scope or red dot if you want to go beyond the irons. The manual cross-bolt safety is positive and easy to reach. 
 
The 10+1 capacity from a detachable box magazine is standard for the category. Low recoil and affordable .22 LR ammunition make this a practical choice for new shooters building fundamentals, or anyone who wants a low-cost rifle for range days and small game.

User feedback on the Rossi RS22 in OD Green is generally positive, though not without caveats.

Affordability is the most consistent theme. Users regularly point to the RS22 as a solid value in the .22 LR semi-auto category, and the low cost of rimfire ammo makes it cheap to shoot regularly.

The lightweight build gets good marks, particularly from younger or less experienced shooters. Fiber optic sights are well-regarded; most users find them a real improvement over plain irons in dim conditions.

Reliability is where opinions diverge. Many users report clean feeding and consistent cycling, but a meaningful number mention issues with specific ammunition brands not running reliably through the action. Quality ammo helps, but it's something to be aware of.

Build quality feedback is mixed relative to price. Most users consider it solid for what it costs. A few express concerns about long-term durability under heavy use or rough handling.

Ergonomics draw split opinions — the stock works well for some, while others would prefer a different geometry or grip feel. Customization options exist but are more limited compared to more established platforms.

The RS22 lands best as a training rifle or casual range gun where the tradeoffs at its price point make sense.
