Description
There's something about a single-action rimfire revolver that never gets old. Cock the hammer, line up the sights, squeeze, repeat. The Heritage Rough Rider SRR22V6 keeps that old-west rhythm alive while dressing it up in a modern Sabre Sand Cerakote finish that sets it apart from the sea of blued Rough Riders out there. The desert tan frame and barrel play nicely against the black satin cylinder and black polymer star grips, so it looks as good hanging on a peg as it does in your hand.
What the Rough Rider SRR22V6 Does Best
This is a plinker through and through, and a good one. The 6.5 inch barrel gives you a longer sight radius than the shorter Rough Rider variants, which makes a real difference when you're trying to ring steel or pick off pests around the property. Sights are a fixed front blade with a notch rear, the same setup cowboys relied on for over a century, and the 1:14 right-hand twist stabilizes standard .22 LR loads just fine. At 35.6 ounces unloaded, it has enough heft to sit steady in the hand without wearing you out, and the whole package measures 11.78 inches from muzzle to grip.
Simple Controls, Classic Feel
Everything on this revolver works the way you'd expect. Load and unload through the gate, cock the exposed hammer for each shot, and use the frame-mounted manual safety when you want an extra layer of control during handling. It's the kind of gun that teaches good fundamentals, which is why so many folks hand a Rough Rider to a new shooter as their first revolver. Trigger control, sight alignment, and follow-through all get easier to learn when every shot is deliberate.
Why the SRR22V6 Earns a Spot in the Safe
Cheap ammo, mild recoil, and a build that shrugs off range days make this an easy gun to shoot a lot. Whether you're introducing a kid to wheelguns, keeping varmints off the garden, or just making cans jump on a Saturday, the Rough Rider SRR22V6 delivers a lot of grin per round. The Sabre Sand Cerakote is just the icing on top.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Rough Rider SRR22V6 also fire .22 WMR?
No, this particular model is chambered for .22 LR only and ships with a single six-shot cylinder. Heritage does offer combo versions of the Rough Rider that include a second .22 WMR cylinder, but the SRR22V6 is a dedicated .22 LR revolver. Stick with standard .22 LR ammo in this one.
Does the Heritage Rough Rider SRR22V6 have a safety?
Yes, it features a manual hammer-block safety mounted on the frame, along with the traditional exposed hammer. That's a bit unusual for a single-action revolver, and a lot of owners appreciate it as an extra layer of control during handling and loading. You can flip it off when you're ready to shoot and run the gun like any classic single action.
Are the sights on the SRR22V6 adjustable?
No, this model uses a fixed front blade paired with a notch rear cut into the frame, just like the old cowboy guns it takes after. The 6.5 inch barrel gives you a generous sight radius, so most folks find it plenty accurate for plinking and pest control at typical rimfire distances. If your groups print slightly off, adjusting your ammo choice or hold usually gets you dialed in.
Is the Rough Rider SRR22V6 a good first revolver for a new shooter?
It's one of the most popular choices for exactly that. The single-action operation forces a deliberate pace that builds solid fundamentals, .22 LR recoil is next to nothing, and ammo is about as affordable as it gets. The 35.6 ounce weight also helps soak up what little kick there is, making long range sessions comfortable for just about anyone.
