Overview

The HERITAGE MFG. ROUGH RIDER SMALL BORE reproduces the look and feel of the Old West Single Action Army in a scaled-down rimfire package. Chambered for .22 LR and .22 Magnum, this single-action piece offers a 6-round capacity, a 6.5″ steel blued barrel, and an aluminum alloy blued frame for a balance of durability and manageable weight. At an MSRP of $179.99, it delivers classic styling and practical performance at an accessible price point.

Design & Key Features

Action and Lockwork

The action is single-action with a crisp trigger pull around 6 lbs and precise timing that contributes to reliable shot placement. The machined barrel is micro-threaded and inserted into the frame to establish an optimal barrel-to-cylinder gap, enhancing ammunition performance and consistency.

Construction and Ergonomics

Steel blued cylinder and barrel paired with an aluminum alloy blued frame reduce weight while retaining strength. The revolver ships with attractive grip options—white mother of pearl in the described configuration—with other materials available, including exotic cocobolo. A flat-sided hammer and a hammer block in the recoil shield (with a red dot ready indicator) improve safety and authenticity. Open fixed notch rear sights allow quick target acquisition for close-range work.

Caliber Choices and Practical Use

.22 LR is ideal for low-recoil practice, economical training, and casual plinking; its affordability and wide availability make the .22 LR a sensible choice for backyard or range sessions. The .22 Magnum option adds velocity and terminal performance for small-game hunting while maintaining the single-action handling characteristics shooters appreciate.
