Rossi RL22181WDGDH Rio Bravo 18" 16-Round Wood Stock Rifle

The Rossi RL22181WDGDH Rio Bravo 18" 16-Round Wood Stock Rifle is a compact, reliable rimfire platform designed for recreational shooters, small-game hunters, and tactical training on a budget. Built by Rossi—a manufacturer with decades of heritage in lever-action and bolt-action firearms—this rifle delivers dependable performance in a lightweight package. The 18-inch barrel provides the balance between portability and velocity retention that shooters demand in a go-to .22 LR rifle, whether for backyard practice or field use.

Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the Rio Bravo feeds from a reliable 16-round magazine, enabling extended shooting sessions with minimal reloads—a practical advantage on the range or in training drills. The wood stock provides classic ergonomics and a forgiving recoil profile characteristic of rimfire, while the rifle's 7-pound weight ensures all-day carry comfort without fatigue. The 18-inch barrel strikes an ideal compromise for shooters seeking a compact rifle that doesn't sacrifice sight radius, making it suitable for both iron sights and aftermarket optic mounting solutions common in .22 LR platforms.

Law enforcement and military instructors often leverage .22 LR rifles for marksmanship fundamentals and low-cost qualification training, and the Rio Bravo's accuracy potential and manageable recoil make it ideal for shooters developing trigger control and sight alignment. The compact 39.3-inch overall length suits those with space constraints or who prioritize maneuverability in tight environments. Standard .22 LR ammunition is ubiquitous and affordable, making this rifle an economical choice for high-volume shooters and those building a layered defensive or recreational firearm collection.
