For hunters, campers, and anyone who wants a straightforward, reliable rifle for backcountry use or truck carry, simplicity often wins over complexity. A single-shot platform that is rugged, easy to maintain, and optic-ready can be the difference between a dependable field tool and an overcomplicated chore.

ROSSI Brawler – 5.56 is the compact, break-action rifle that brings that simplicity to life while expanding versatility. The rugged single-shot adventure gun just got even more versatile. Now chambered in 5.56 and .300 Blackout, the Brawler keeps its break-action simplicity, optic-ready rail, and go-anywhere toughness—perfect for campers, hunters, and truck guns alike.

Design and Features

The Brawler’s break-action design prioritizes reliability and ease of use. With an optic-ready rail built into the top of the receiver, adding a red dot or small scope is straightforward and repeatable for hunters moving between stands or on quick truck-gun deployments. As a Single Shot category firearm from Rossi with model variations available, it’s an uncomplicated platform that trims weight and reduces moving parts.

Priced at $285.99, this model represents an economical entry into a tough, no-frills rifle that remains accurate enough for practical field ranges. The build emphasizes go-anywhere toughness—sturdy stock geometry and simple latch mechanisms keep maintenance minimal when you’re far from a bench.

Caliber Considerations: 5.56 vs .300 Blackout

Chambering the Brawler in 5.56 makes sense for shooters who value ammunition availability, light recoil, and a flatter trajectory for small-game and defensive use at common engagement distances. The .300 Blackout option extends capability for suppressed, short-barrel applications and heavier, subsonic loads for quieter hunting in dense cover. Both calibers make the platform flexible: 5.56 for long-range utility and logistics, .300 BLK for stealth and heavy-hitting short-range performance.

Field Handling and Practical Use

The simplicity of a break-action single shot teaches disciplined shot placement—ideal for training new shooters or for experienced users who want a fail-safe, lightweight tool. The optic-ready rail removes the guesswork of mounting a sight, and the compact footprint suits pack hunting, truck storage, or a minimalist camp setup.

For a rugged, affordable single-shot built for practical field use, the Brawler is a compelling option. Shop this product on our site to check current availability and purchase through the retailer.
