The ROSSI LWC 300BLK BLK 16.5″ FOLDING is a purpose-built single-shot rifle that marries the simplicity of a break-action platform with the modern ballistics of .300 Blackout. Designed for hunters and precision shooters who value a compact, packable firearm, this model features a 16.5-inch barrel and a folding stock that reduces overall length for transport or storage. Chambered in the versatile .300 BLK, it handles both supersonic and subsonic loads with equal reliability. The all-black finish keeps things utilitarian, while the manual safety and exposed hammer offer straightforward operation. At a street price just north of $348, it’s one of the most affordable ways to get into a dedicated .300 BLK rifle.

Key Features
- 16.5-inch barrel: Why it matters – the barrel length is optimal for .300 BLK, allowing full powder burn without excessive muzzle blast, and keeps the overall package short enough for vehicle or backpack carry.
- Folding stock: Why it matters – the stock folds to the left side, reducing the rifle’s length to under 28 inches, making it easy to stow in a range bag or behind a truck seat.
- Break-action single shot: Why it matters – no magazine, no cycling issues, just a simple, strong action that accepts any .300 BLK round you feed it, including the longest subsonic loads.
- Manual safety and exposed hammer: Why it matters – you can see and feel the hammer position at a glance, and the cross-bolt safety gives you positive control before cocking.
- Black synthetic stock with soft rubber buttpad: Why it matters – the stock resists weather and bumps, and the buttpad reduces felt recoil from heavy subsonic loads, keeping the rifle on target for follow-up shots.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who wants a lightweight, easy-to-carry .300 BLK for brush hunting or predator control. It’s also for the budget-conscious shooter who wants to explore the .300 Blackout cartridge without dropping $800+ on a bolt gun or AR. Collectors of unique, modern single-shots will appreciate the Rossi LWC as a contemporary take on the classic break-action.

|---|---|---|---|
| Caliber | .300 AAC Blackout | .300 AAC Blackout | .22 Long Rifle |

The Rossi LWC offers the best value for a .300 BLK single-shot with a folding stock. The Lone Wolf Distributors G300 is heavier and fixed-stock, while the Timney Alpha is a .22LR – fine for plinking, but not in the same power class. For the shooter who wants .300 BLK on a budget, the Rossi wins on price and portability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Rossi LWC .300 BLK compatible with subsonic ammunition?
Yes. The 16.5-inch barrel stabilizes both supersonic and subsonic .300 BLK rounds. The single-shot action feeds any bullet profile, including heavy subsonic loads like 220-grain projectiles.
Does this rifle come with a scope mount?
No. The Rossi LWC ships with a front blade and rear adjustable sight. You will need to purchase a separate scope base (Rossi part #RB-300) or a Picatinny rail adapter to mount an optic.
How does the folding stock lock in place?
The stock folds to the left side of the receiver and locks via a spring-loaded button at the hinge. When extended, it locks solidly with no wobble, per Rossi’s design specs.
Can I use .300 Whisper ammunition in this rifle?
Yes. .300 Whisper is dimensionally identical to .300 AAC Blackout and is safe to fire in the Rossi LWC .300 BLK chamber. Always verify headstamp compatibility if using mixed brass.
