Rossi Gallery 22wmr 20" 12-Round Pump-Action Shotgun

The Rossi Gallery 22 WMR pump-action rifle delivers reliable rimfire performance in a compact 20-inch platform optimized for small-game hunting, target shooting, and marksmanship training. Built on Rossi's established pump-action design, this .22 WMR rifle combines mechanical simplicity with practical ergonomics, making it a versatile choice for hunters, sport shooters, and trainers seeking dependable rimfire accuracy without excessive recoil or complexity.

The .22 WMR cartridge generates approximately 375 foot-pounds of muzzle energy—a significant step above standard .22 LR—while maintaining manageable recoil and cost-effective ammunition consumption. The 20-inch barrel balances velocity potential with maneuverability in field conditions; at this length, the .22 WMR achieves consistent ballistic performance for shots out to 100+ yards on small game. The 12-round tubular magazine provides practical capacity for extended shooting sessions without frequent reloading. Adjustable sights enable field-zeroing without optics installation, and the synthetic stock resists moisture and delivers consistent handling across temperature and humidity ranges.

This rifle suits hunters pursuing rabbits, squirrels, and prairie dogs; competitive rimfire shooters developing technique; and firearms instructors introducing students to pump-action mechanics and rifle marksmanship. The .22 WMR Rossi Gallery is also favored for predator control and utility shooting applications where terminal performance exceeds .22 LR but cost remains lower than centerfire alternatives. Weighing 7.25 pounds, the rifle remains manageable for all-day field use while providing sufficient mass for stability during aiming.

Pump-action rimfire rifles occupy a niche between semi-automatic and bolt-action designs, offering positive primary extraction and mechanical reliability with the manual control and reduced noise of manual cycling. The Rossi Gallery's proven platform has established a following among shooters who value mechanical simplicity and straightforward maintenance over modular customization.
