Heritage Rough Rider adjustable sights

[nd4spdbh]

Soo.... i feel the itch for another 22 plinker, cus as you guys know 22 is just so damned fun. I dont have an SA revolver in any caliber and the RR looks like a perfect candidate to tick the box without breaking the bank (especially for something thats just going to be used for fun).

My question is, Do yall prefer the adjustable sight RR or the fixed blade setup?

Watch the video of the manufacturing process, all of the workers are wearing Taurus shirts, and start flipping coins to see if there are any chances of them making a product that shoots to POA.

Buy a Ruger Single Six, buy once cry once. You can pass it on without being embarrassed as well. My 1964 Convertible is still going strong.

I get it, yall dont like the cheaper manufactures. I was swayed by people spewing thoughts like yours to buy a smith n wesson 442-1 (over a cheaper "crappy" alternative) not long ago, and lo and behold, the Fancy Smith upon arrival needed to be worked over to simply function properly right out of the box...

Needless to say you guys missed the point of a "cheap fun plinker thats SA". Im not in the need for laser accurate competition shooting out of this purchase, if I was id pull out the Ruger Mark 2 Target Competition 6 7/8 slab side at my disposal and slap 4in targets all day long at 100 yrds.


So back to my original question for those who have a Heritage RR.

I have two of the older versions of the Heritage, a Kimel and an FIE, both are pieces of crap that did not hold up because of their cheap construction. If you want it by all means buy it, but I am just telling you like it is.

Did you see the video where they crowned the barrels before drilling the hole?

If you want an inexpensive fun plinker SA, consider the Ruger Wrangler.

You could also poke around the CG marketplace for used Ruger Single Six Convertible or a Colt Peacemaker .22LR/.22WMR. That would mean more money, but a much higher quality SA. I prefer the adjustable rear sight on the Single Six.

I have both of the above--they are tack drivers.

The wranglers have caught my eye as well and I keep tabs on marketplace for a potential deal.

I have a RR with fiber optic fixed front and adjustable rear sight. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Never go cheap with firearms. They are tools after all and cheap tools suck. I would wait and save up the funds for a Ruger single six/ten. I owned a single ten and it was a beautifully made pistol. Just a pleasure to hold. Only sold it because it was royal PITA to unload. The ejector rod was a wee bit short & each round needed to be picked out. Otherwise it was a great shooter.

My experience has been that very few fixed sight single action revolvers (I have Colt's, Rugers, and Italians) shoot to point of aim; at least not without modification or a variety of ammunition to regulate.

For a .22 I'd definitely want adjustable sights.

I have the rough rider with adjustable fiber sights and the 22 mag cylinder and it’s been a great gun especially for $100. Mine has been perfect. The safety is a drawback but great gun and accurate.

Ought a rough rider a couple years ago. Got fixed sights and it shot left and slightly high. I bent front sight and got it near center and great for 25 or so yards.

I got bored one day and used a small amount of jb weld and filled the rear sight groove then straightened front sight smoothened the rear sight then cut a new groove to right if center. Darn thing now hits target centered.

Doesn't sound appealing to buy if it's a PITA...

I purchased my first Heritage firearm right before Christmas. I got the rancher and it has adjustable sights. I have no problem buying cheaper firearms. These days with the way things are I don't truly believe there is such a thing as a cheap firearm. I really enjoy shooting this carbine. I think cheaper guns are the same as a more higher end gun. If you treat them right, don't beat and throw them around and clean them, any of them will last for many years and many rounds without any problems.
