Heritage rough riders hit right ABOVE the front sight where you aim it.
Keep that in mind when you aim and you will notice a Huge difference in accuracy.
Mine shoots straight and right above the front sight.
TANNERITE needed for target practice on opening day of each hunting season.

I've got Heritage arms rough rider, it's a truck gun, been in the truck since I bought it 12-13 years ago.  Will occasionally not fire a round, (maybe once out of 3 cylinders)recock hammer and shoot again.  I think I paid $119 for mine back then.  When I bought it, a buddy who's a pilice officer here in Spokane had just gotten a Ruger single six back from the smith after some trigger work.  The rough rider was more accurate fpr both of us, and he was not happy.  I killed 2-3 grouse with it this fall.  If you like it buy it.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

[/quote]I stand behind mine, when a man or woman goes out to the gun shop and buys a S&W 59 or MANY other makes and models, they too are made with the same metals the heritage are made from, Anodised aluminum.

Never seen an aluminum Heritage Rough Rider.
Anyways I've always had good times with mine.  It shoots consistantly.  Just have to learn the sight placement.  Mine shoots slightly left but it always has.  I just compenstate and am consistant with shot placement.  Havn't had any problems with it yet.  Great gun at $120.00.

There you have it, fine POS they are. Some hit low, some to the left, others won't fire when supposed to!! Add another bill, get a Ruger single six that you can hand down to your grankids..... Later

............consistently something wrong with em.

If it sounds too cheap for a firearm, it is probably too expensive for being a paperweight.

Do yourself a fava.........take the $$ you would have spent on it, perhaps save another $200, and buy something you will really dig. So many options you would rather like in the long run.

Used guns of 1050-1980 vintage, on average, kill the offerings presented to us today.

Very few cheap guns actually impress.

I have one, like it for what it is, have not had any problems with misifires and have owned/shot it for a long time, could be the really cheap ammo some people are using or not cleaning?
I will say for 198 i would pass, dont think they are worth that.
I paid 99 new with both cylinders (so i guess if they are 198 now they do go up in value).
As far as accuracy they can be fine out of the box or need some tweaking, no big deal. I have had Rugers not shoot straight out of the box for either.
If you look hard enough and find one for under 150 thenget it, if not spend the extra 100 and get a Ruger.

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

I really like keeping this on a positive note.......... I had one for a while, with both cylinder's, I am positive that it was a piece of crap in 22 or 22 mag. I believe there was an alignment issue because it would pepper your hand with lead every shot and was just like lightning.... never hit the same spot twice so I traded it off at a pawn shop.
