Bought a Heritage Rough Rider today for $109.99 from Dunham's. 6.5" barrel fixed sights black mother of pearl grip 22lr. Been eyeing these for a while and thought I would give it a go for that price.
First impression of it was OK. It is a low priced gun so wasn't expecting the best fit and finish. Few tiny scratches in the finish but nothing glaring and it will probably have more after my kids get to using it. Sharp edges on the cylinder fluting catch a rag when cleaning but not cut you sharp. Little bit difficult putting the cylinder in since I am new to single actions and probably the sharpness of every edge in the action.
Shot 50 rounds of Federal Black Pack 36 grain hollow point through it. All went bang. Not the easiest to aim being fixed sight and the single action style grip in my big hand but I managed. Doesn't help that my normal pistol targets are set out 15 to 20 yards and I was standing. More blast out of the cylinder gap and varied from chamber to chamber than I was expecting but not bad as long as you keep your hands where they should be. Lots of smoke up in your field of view when it is calm. Didn't notice this with my 10/22 or pistol with this ammo.
Overall not a bad shooting gun for the price. I will have to get used to the grip and shoot it from a rest to figure out where it shoots. I will be getting the 22wmr cylinder for it.
