Key Features

• Action: Single action, 6-round capacity
• Barrel: 4.75-inch steel blued barrel for consistent rifling performance
• Frame & Cylinder: Aluminum alloy blued frame with steel blued cylinder for durable function

Why the calibers matter

.22 LR is ideal for bolt-on training, low-cost target shooting, and developing fundamentals—very low recoil and inexpensive ammunition make it a range workhorse. .22 Magnum adds terminal performance for small game and offers a flatter trajectory at modest cost, and the Rough Rider’s included interchangeable cylinders let you switch between these roles without buying a second gun.

Fit, Handling, and Practical Use

The Rough Rider’s birds head Cocobolo grips and compact length make it comfortable for shooters with smaller hands and easy to carry on a range day. The six-round capacity and single-action trigger produce predictable follow-up shots. With a 6 lb trigger pull, it balances safety and shootability for controlled pace shooting.

For collectors, trainers, or anyone wanting an affordable single-action rimfire with authentic styling and practical versatility, the HERITAGE MFG. ROUGH RIDER SMALL BORE is a standout. View product details and pricing and check availability on our shop page to purchase or learn more.
