The Rossi RS22 is a semi-automatic rimfire rifle chambered in the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. It is manufactured (and imported?) for the Rossi USA brand by the Braztech company, which is also located in Brazil. It features an ergonomic polymer stock, a magazine capacity of 10 rounds out of the box, a free-floating barrel and fiber-optic style sights. This model of rifle is also sold as the Mossberg 702 Plinkster, but with a different stock.
A .22 Magnum variant is available as the Rossi RS22M, though it diverges in several areas, including a longer barrel, a built-in picatinny rail for mounting optics, and what appears to be an upgraded trigger.
Interchangeability with Mossberg 702 Plinkster
The Mossberg 702 Plinkster is the same rifle, made by the same manufacturer, but with a different stock. Parts are entirely interchangeable. This includes swapping stocks, any internal components, detachable magazine (both OEM and aftermarket extended mags), and so on.
One Reddit user argues in this Reddit thread that the rifles are indeed fully interchangeable in all aspects, including quality. However, in the same thread, another commenter argued that the Rossi and Mossberg models are made to different standards, and that "It is not rare for the Brazilian equivalent to break in the first 100 shots, arrive rusted from factory, etc." Unfortunately, no verification is given for such claims on actual differences between quality control and so on.
