I have been seeing those Heritage Rough Rider .22s for a couple of decades now. It seems like, every time I pass the gun counter, that funky single action revolver with the safety is calling me.
Then, every time, I see that $130-$150 price tag and recoil away. There is just no way that a $150 gun can be worth a dang... and it has a safety!
Well, I finally fell for the bait and man am I happy with this thing! It is fun to shoot, slows you down a lot vs. a semi-auto .22 and has a surprisingly good trigger. The accuracy is as good as any of my revolvers (with me behind them). From about 12-15 yards, quarter sized groups or even slightly tighter are possible.
I won't go into the negatives about the fit and finish. Frankly, it obviously isn't up to my normal standards but it sure is a whole lot of gun for the price tag.
