Heritage Rough Rider .22lr

[ridgefire]

I'm thinking about buying one of these for my son. They are on sale for $121 at Freddys. Are they worth the money for a plinking pistol?

I have the 4.75" .22 lr/ .22mag combo and it's pretty fun . Just takes a bit to work in the action . It's not ruger but it's a great value IMHO.

I got my son one a few yrs ago, and ended up picking up the 22mag cylinder also. shoots good not a fancy gun by any means but he'll love it.

I have had one for a trapline gun for 10+ years and love it for that.  The extraction slide has fallen off twice on mine.  Lost it both times.  The replacement is something like $17.  Maybe some locktite would've helped.  I haven't replaced the second one yet, I just slide a ink pen cartridge down the cylinder to get the spent shells out.

I've been wanting one for quite a while. I hear the finish doesn't hold up to well if you use and abuse it, but I've never heard anything bad about a rough Rider 22, ive researched em quite a bit and seems like one of the best guns for the money, and feels better in my hand than a lot of other, higher priced 22s

You can't abuse one more than on a trapline, well not much more, and my finish has been just fine.

I have one in 22 mag. Sweet little piece. The finish is quite durable

For the money they are pretty solid little guns. Like said they are no ruger but function good enough for a plinker.

I've been wanting one too. For the price, you can't go wrong.
I'll be picking one up along with a 22 rifle, since I don't have one of those yet.

I bought one from Classic Arms and it showed up with rust on the firing pin channel plus had a ton of cylinder slop making it marginally safe at best to shoot.  I sent it back to the manufacturer, they replaced a bunch of parts on it and sent it back a few weeks later.   Classic Arms decided to delete my review since it was unfavorable.  After a couple range trips I found that I just didn't appreciate how cheaply and messily they were built, plus it was horribly inaccurate, so I sold the thing.  If you're fine with a low-cost super-cheap pistol that goes bang most of the time and fires in the general direction you're aiming, go for it.  If you want something accurate and reliable, don't buy a Heritage Rough Rider.

That sucks. I can shoot multiple cylinders into a ragged hole from 30'
