Heritage Arms .22 SA Opinions

[Garufa]

Does anyone have any experience with the Heritage "Rough Rider" .22 Single action convertibles (.22 s, l, lr or magnum)? Regardless of the unfortunate name, Gander Mountain has a bunch of them for $199.95.

Don't think I would ever get one just wondering how they size up to a Ruger.

Most of the time, "you get what you pay for." I don't own one, but they look and feel pretty cheap.

I have handled and shot one. I suppose it is worth 200 bucks if a Ruger SAS is worth near 400.

They have some funny safety thing on the frame. And the action was not as smooth as a Ruger. Fit and finish did not seem as nice as a Ruger either.

but for 200 bucks I suppose it would make a fair plinker.

if you feel a need to shoot a .22 revolver you can borrow mine anytime you want. I will bring it out next time we get together to shoot.

I only ask out of curiosity. Ruger makes the only SA .22 as far as I'm concerned.

Since Mother won't let me near her Bearcat, and like a fool I sold the Single-Six from my youth, been thinking might be nice to have something along those lines.

I admit I am about shocked you don't have a .22 revolver.

I am thinking you need one. I know somewhere you can look next weekend, LOL

If it were me, I'd save up some more doe and purchase a Ruger. I don't think would regret it.

That's where I'm headed - Ruger MK 3, 22/45 - Hunter. I've been all over this town with this topic for a month and have drank the Ruger kool-aid.

I have one, but I only paid $125 new - w/both cylinders.

It's worth what I paid for it, and a hoot to shoot, but doesn't compare to a Ruger.

I wouldn't pay 2 bills for one, though.
