The Heritage Mfg Rough Rider Rancher .22LR with 16" barrel is a single-action rimfire revolver built around the classic cowboy-gun profile—but configured as a rifle with a longer sight radius and increased velocity potential from the extended barrel. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle and holding six rounds, it combines nostalgic Americana styling (this 1776 Edition features Independence Day engraving on the walnut stock) with practical rimfire performance for small-game hunting, target shooting, and the kind of fun plinking that keeps you coming back to the range. Made in the USA with a steel barrel and cylinder in a blued finish and an alloy frame, it tips the scales at 33.4 ounces—light enough to carry, substantial enough to shoot straight.

If you're drawn to single-action heritage firearms but want something that shoots .22 instead of a centerfire magnum, or if you're looking for a rifle-length .22 rimfire with genuine character, the Rancher slots into a niche that purists and budget-conscious shooters both appreciate. The 16" barrel pairs with six-groove rifling (1:14 twist) and basic buckhorn sights, giving you a straightforward, mechanical shooting experience without electronics or tactical furniture.

This isn't a precision long-range gun or a modern tactical platform—it's a deliberate throwback to an earlier era of American shooting, dressed up in patriotic styling. If that appeals to you, or if you want a lighter-recoil alternative to centerfire for general plinking and small-game work, the Rough Rider Rancher delivers solid bones and honest function.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Heritage Rough Rider Rancher, and is it a rifle or a revolver?

It's a single-action rimfire revolver configured with a 16" rifle-length barrel and walnut stock, so it straddles both categories. The mechanics and operation are revolver-based, but the extended barrel and stock furniture give it rifle-like handling and sight radius.

What kind of shooting is this gun suited for?

.22 Long Rifle rimfire makes it ideal for small-game hunting, target practice, and plinking—low recoil and low noise make it fun and forgiving. It's not designed for precision long-range work or defensive use.

Does this come with the Independence Day engraved stock, or is that sold separately?

The 1776 Edition includes the Independence Day engraved walnut wood stock as standard.

How much does it weigh, and is it easy to carry?

It weighs 33.4 ounces—roughly two pounds—making it portable enough for hiking, camping, or a day at the range without fatigue from carrying it.
