Rossi Gallery 22 LR 18" 15rd Synthetic Rifle

The Rossi Gallery brings back the slide action 22 that once lined the shooting galleries of the late 1890s. It is a pump action rifle chambered in 22 LR, with an 18" polished black barrel and a tube magazine under it that holds 15 rounds. This version wears black synthetic furniture, which stands up to weather and rough handling better than the wood stocked models.

Working the forend is quick and fun, and it teaches the same habits a pump shotgun does. A fiber optic front sight and a fully adjustable fiber optic rear give a bright, fast sight picture for tin cans and squirrels alike, and a crossbolt safety is fitted. The receiver is aluminum, keeping the rifle around 5.2 pounds, light enough for a kid to carry through the woods or for a long day at the range. Low recoil, a long magazine and a classic action make it a good first rifle and a nostalgic one for anyone who grew up on pump 22s.
