Title: Any Heritage Rough Rider fans out there?
Post by: Ulmus on June 03, 2008, 07:40:56 PM
I have the .22lr/.22Wmr combo and it always follows me to the ranger.  How about you?

I looked into one but was not pleased.  I may have had my hands on a bad example (ALL makers have them).

I do love 22 single actions.  Got a 5.5 Ruger Single Six 22 / mag that always goes with me to the range.

I bought one the day before the Clinton back ground check went into effect (symbolic purchase). I really wasn't familiar with the brand, but it came with .22LR and.22MAG cylinders and I thought the price couldn't be beat. My three younger sons all liked shooting it and it really hasn't given me any trouble. I found that it needs to be cleaned after each trip to the range, due to it fowling up and spitting lead from between the cylinder and barrel cone. other than that, it hasn't been a bad little pistol.

Well I ask this because I've run into many HRR owners but was unable to find a owner based forum site to them.  So I made one and want to let them, and everyone else!  ;) ) know about it.

I asked the Marshal and he said it was ok.   ;D

So if you would like to see and possibly join a brand new forum catering to Heritage Rough Rider Owners, follow the link.

Friend of mine has one and loves it, my Dad had one and hated it, traded it toward a Ruger Single Six, (Which is what I told him to get in the first place) but I don't put much faith in Dads opinion of guns, He said the same thing (POS ) about a 10/22 he had because it didn't feed well from the old Ramline plastic mags.

Had one.  Hated it.

Sent it back to Heritage.  Twice.  They were never able to make it work right. 

Dumped it during a trade for a real gun. 

I bought it mainly because it was cheap and I have a thing for .22 magnums.  Crappy, crappy gun. 

Painted pot metal should have been my first clue. 

I knew there had to be one out there somewhere that worked, I'm happy for you.
