Key Features
Robust Semi-Automatic Action
The RS22M utilizes a proven semi-automatic action engineered for reliable cycling of .22 Magnum ammunition. This design provides rapid follow-up shots and sustained firing capability, optimizing the user’s engagement with targets or small game. The system prioritizes functional reliability under various field conditions.
.22 Magnum Caliber Performance
Chambered in .22 Magnum, this rifle leverages the cartridge’s enhanced velocity and energy over standard .22 LR. This translates to a flatter trajectory and increased effective range, making it suitable for more demanding pest control or small game hunting scenarios, while retaining manageable recoil for extended practice sessions.
Extended Capacity Magazine
Equipped with a detachable magazine providing a 10+1 round capacity, the RS22M minimizes reload frequency, allowing for prolonged shooting engagements. This capacity is beneficial for competitive plinking, rapid target transitions, and maintaining focus in the field.
Precision 21-Inch Barrel
The 21-inch steel barrel is engineered to stabilize the .22 Magnum projectile effectively, contributing to the rifle’s inherent accuracy. The barrel length optimizes muzzle velocity, ensuring consistent downrange performance. It is configured for durability and sustained precision.
Durable Wood Stock Integration
Featuring a classic wood stock, the RS22M offers a stable and traditional shooting platform. The wood construction provides natural vibration dampening and a comfortable interface for the shooter, enhancing handling and control. The ergonomic profile supports consistent shot placement.
Adjustable Sighting System
The rifle is equipped with a fiber optic front sight and an adjustable rear sight, providing a clear and precise sight picture for rapid target acquisition. The receiver is also machined to accept optic mounting solutions, allowing for further customization based on operational requirements.
