Description

The Heritage Rough Rider RR22MB16AS delivers reliable rimfire performance in a classic single-action design that handles both 22 LR and 22 WMR cartridges. This convertible revolver features a 16-inch barrel configuration that maximizes velocity and accuracy potential from rimfire ammunition.

What Makes This Different

The dual-caliber cylinder system allows shooters to switch between 22 LR and 22 WMR without additional purchases or modifications. The extended 16-inch barrel length provides superior ballistic performance compared to standard 4.75-inch models, achieving higher velocities and flatter trajectories. The zamak frame construction offers corrosion resistance while maintaining affordability compared to all-steel alternatives.

The extended barrel length transforms this revolver's ballistic performance, pushing 22 LR velocities beyond 1,200 fps and 22 WMR loads over 1,400 fps depending on ammunition selection. Small game hunters appreciate the increased range capability, while target shooters benefit from the improved sight radius and reduced muzzle flip. The single-action mechanism provides consistent trigger pull characteristics that support precision shooting applications.
