Rye Miles #13621 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I bought two Heritage Rough Riders in .22 cal. I got the 6.5” barrels. They’re on sale at a gun store here for $99.00 and you get a $30.00 rebate!!! That comes to $69.00 each! I’ll use the money to get extra cylinders which are around $30.00 each.

I really like the two I bought a couple of years ago. Clubs around here allow for a .22 rimfire class due to primer & ammo shortages. I shoot mine a couple of times a year with no problems.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 I shot them today, they shoot great! Well worth the $69.00 each (after the $30.00 rebate) Extra cylinders are $30.00! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the Heritage, but most guns like that are cast metal like Zamac, with steel inserts for the bore and cylinders. It is relatively soft, and if you are cocking them hard and fast the bolt notches are going to wear out at some point. Also chambers can get peened by the firing pin on some designs, again not sure about the Heritage. Maybe? But heck, if the guns are that cheap I'd maybe buy one spare gun instead of two spare cylinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP McLintock Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 The extra cylinders are magnum, and only the frame is alloy, the barrel and cylonder are steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes it easier to reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a time saver so you don't hold up the rest of the shooters. You shoot at 5 targets and you have to hit four before you go to the fifth target which is called the STOP target(unlike CAS) You get timed. Then you repeat this 5 times so you have to reload at least 4 times. With semi autos it's easy and quick just put in another magazine. It's a lot of fun. almost as much as cowboy!
