Heritage 22lr/22mag?

I had one for a few years. The safety on the gun takes some getting used to. The gun shot fine and I carried it on a trap line. Certainly not the same quality of a Ruger but really not much bad to say about them either. Fit and finish leaves a little to be desired and the act of cocking the gun is rather loud.

For $200 they are a fine little gun.

Chris, I bought one a few weeks ago to see for myself. So far I can find nothing to gripe about. The safety isn't a big deal to me. The one I got is better finished than some of the older ones I've seen. Mine shoots just fine. It's a lot of fun plinking with shorts at cans out back.

I might get another one. My wife likes the one with the 3" barrel and birdshead "pearl" grips.

Well worth the money IMHO.

Good little gun for the money. Just make sure you inspect it good. I have seen cases where the sights were not alighted properly and the grips left gaps between the wood and the metal.

For 200$ it is certainly fun. I have one and a Ruger Single Six. The heritage is my "beater gun" and is great. But the Ruger gives me more enjoyment.

The heritage are not a good gun. We had two of them. Both had ejection issues. Both shot nowhere near poa, and both were all over the place with every kind of ammo we tried. Save up and get a eaa bounty hunter, uberti stallion, or ruger single six.

I like mine. The safety doesn't bother me; I don't use it. If I pack it around the property, it's with the hammer down on an empty chamber, anyway.

Don't know if I'd give it "in honor of" status, as these are inexpensive guns that are generally not built with the toughest quality materials. They do make some steel-framed ones, but they cost more.

Everything is "junk" to at least somebody, and the Heritage Rough Rider seems to be to more people than the Rugers are. One thing I like about the HRR over the Ruger, though, is the three-click hammer (which, as jbkebert pointed out, is loud.) Just seems to add more of an authentic feel to a gun that mimics the Old West shooters.

I have owned two of these, the first I actually bought NEW, the second I traded for it. The first one only took me about 3 weeks to decide to move it the second one no one really wants it. They are ok, fit and finish are marginal, overall appearance is border line, contestant shooting, well lets just say they will keep 6 rds on 8 1/2 x 11 paper target. Rat shot in it would make it a good carry gun to deal with sneaky snakes.
