The Heritage Rough Rider .22 LR 6.5-inch revolver with black/gray poly grips and a manual safety (Heritage part no. RR22B6-GRYPG) is a low-cost, six-shot single-action rimfire for the back yard and the range. Heritage built the Rough Rider on a classic single-action profile, so it looks and feels like the big-bore revolvers it imitates. The 6.5-inch barrel gives a longer sight radius than the short Rough Riders, which helps when the job is pinging steel or knocking down cans. It is also a sensible choice for a first revolver, for plinking, or for pest and varmint control around the farm.
