Rossi Rio Bravo RL22181WD-NI | .22 LR | 18″ | 15-Rd

The Rossi Rio Bravo is a rimfire lever-action rifle configured for .22 Long Rifle, featuring an 18″ barrel, a 15-round tubular magazine and a nickel-coated receiver paired with a hardwood stock. It follows Rossi’s R92-inspired lever-action design scaled for rimfire use, intended for reliable, economical shooting. A practical optic choice under $1,000 for this rifle is a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 scope, which balances low magnification for quick target acquisition and enough reach for small-game work.

Appropriate applications include small-game hunting and recreational/bench target shooting.
