The Heritage Manufacturing Rough Rider RR22MCH6 delivers reliable rimfire performance with dual-caliber versatility in a classic single-action design. This revolver accepts both 22 LR and 22 WMR cartridges, providing shooters flexibility for plinking, small game hunting, and training applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike fixed-caliber rimfire revolvers, the Rough Rider includes interchangeable cylinders for seamless switching between 22 LR and 22 WMR ammunition. The 6.5-inch barrel length optimizes velocity for both cartridges while maintaining excellent balance. The simulated case-hardened zinc alloy frame reduces weight compared to all-steel construction without sacrificing durability for rimfire pressures.
Key Features
- Dual-caliber capability with 22 LR and 22 WMR cylinder options
- 6.5-inch black steel barrel for enhanced accuracy and velocity
- 6-shot capacity in traditional single-action operation
- Simulated case-hardened zinc alloy frame for reduced weight
- Camo laminate grips provide secure hold in various conditions
- Hammer-mounted thumb safety prevents accidental discharge
- Exposed hammer design allows precise trigger control
The extended barrel length generates higher velocities than shorter rimfire revolvers, improving downrange performance for both target shooting and small game applications. Single-action operation provides consistent trigger pull characteristics that benefit accuracy development. The safety mechanism allows confident carry while maintaining quick deployment capability.
