If you are looking for a reliable, budget-friendly wheelgun that puts a smile on your face every time you pull the trigger, the Rossi R98 Plinker 22LR Double-Action Revolver is a solid choice. This particular model comes with cosmetic blemishes, meaning you get the same dependable performance and smooth action as a factory-new revolver, but at a price that makes it an even better value for your gun safe. Whether you are teaching a new shooter, plinking tin cans out in the Talladega National Forest, or just want a cheap round to run through on a Saturday afternoon, this Rossi R98 Plinker 22LR Double-Action Revolver delivers where it counts.

We have handled a few of these over the years, and the cosmetic blemishes are typically minor storage marks or light handling scuffs that do not affect the function or longevity of the firearm. For the shooter who cares about performance over showroom shine, this is a smart way to get a quality piece of hardware without breaking the bank.

Overview

The Rossi R98 Plinker 22LR Double-Action Revolver is a no-nonsense rimfire revolver built for affordable, low-recoil shooting.

With an 8-round cylinder, you get plenty of trigger time before reloading, and the lightweight frame makes it easy to carry in a range bag or truck console. The cosmetic blemishes on this batch mean you save money while still getting a revolver that cycles smoothly and shoots straight.
