I was reading my email on Wednesday and saw an ad from Gander Mountain on a .22lr single action revolver, so I visited Gander on Thursday morning and walked away with a good deal on a Heritage Manufacturing Rough Rider...that is usually priced @ $199.99 on sale for $119.99. Total after Tax and NICS was $132.19. Came with a coupon that offers the .22 Magnum cylinder for only $29.99. Mailed that away this morning. So...I took it to the range Thursday after leaving the store and was amazed at how accurate it was right from the box, considering it only had a fixed front blade and rear notch for sights. It's quite a nice little single action revolver for the price... Introducing: The Rough Rider Specifications: Caliber: .22LR Action: Single Action Revolver Capacity: 6 Barrel length: 4.75" Frame: Aluminum alloy Grips: Cocobolo Sights: Open fixed / notch in rear Overall length: 10.035" Overall weight: 33.4 ozs. Mfg. Number: RR22B4
We sold a ton of those each year for Black Friday. A lot of people dismiss them due to the cost, but they actually are decent little cowboy action revolvers. I have the older brother to it (Kimmel) plated in gold. It was my grandfather's gun. For this time of year, you got a good deal. Now, go have some fun with it. I know you will.
It should also be noted that the Heritage has a safety... one of the few (if not only) revolvers I have seen with one.
Just finished up cleaning my guns from Range Day Thursday when I heard a thud on the porch...and a delivery truck put it in gear and drive away... Turns out I finally got the .22 Magnum Cylinder for my new Heritage Rough Rider Revolver...after a 52 day wait. Guess I gotta go back to the range again today and see where she prints with the CCI .22WMR HP Maxi Mag loads I bought in bulk.
