New addition, single action 22 style

[jcj]

Picked up a Heritage Rough Rider 22 revolver today. Looks just like the one pictured here:

I was going to post some actual pics, but the camera isn't cooperating at the moment.

These aren't exactly unique anyway.

I've heard they're junk. I've heard they're great. I'm guessing it will be somewhere in between. I'll follow up with a range report as soon as I get a chance to go.

Haven't tried a Rough Rider, but when my son, his girlfriend, or my wife goes with me to shoot, either (or both) a Colt Frontier Scout / Ruger Single Six ususally makes the trip.

The little .22 single actions are just plain fun. Hope yours makes you smile.

Look forward to the range report.

Congrats!! I love my Roughrider 45 Colt. Hope your .22 is loads of fun!!

I have one and I like shooting it more than the two Ruger single-sixes that I own. I don't know how many rounds it has through it. Hope yours is as much fun as mine.

Made it to the range today. Between my son and I, we did a pretty good job putting holes in a few targets.

Today's shooting involved 50 rounds of 22WMR and ~100 rounds of 22LR.

The Heritage wheel-gun did a fine job. Perfectly reliable. The only noticeable problem was some .22 WMR brass sticking in the cylinder. Nothing that couldn't be ejected with some force.

My son needs some practice (as do I), but we both managed to get some rounds on this target.

That Civil War Edition looks pretty good. Makes me sad that I sold my Heritage some time back.
