There are practical guns, and then there are guns you buy because they make you grin every time you open the safe. The Heritage Rough Rider RR22B16-BB manages to be both. Inspired by the 19th century Colt Buntline, this single-action .22 LR wears a full 16 inch barrel that gives the little rimfire cartridge a serious boost in velocity and a sight radius long enough to surprise people with what a plinker can do at distance. The Burnt Bronze finish on the frame set against the black barrel, cylinder, and wood grips gives it a look you won't find on the standard blued models.
All that barrel does more than turn heads. The extra length wrings more speed out of .22 LR ammo and puts noticeable weight out front, which settles the gun down for steady offhand shooting. At around 46 ounces, it hangs on target in a way short-barreled rimfires just don't. The fixed front and notched rear sights keep things simple, and the traditional single-action lockwork means you cock the hammer for each shot, which has a way of slowing you down and making every round count. Ringing steel or picking off cans way past normal handgun distance gets addictive fast.
Under the distinctive finish, this is the same Rough Rider platform that has put affordable single-action fun in front of countless new and seasoned shooters. The aluminum alloy frame keeps overall handling manageable despite the length, the 6-round cylinder locks up tight, and the timing is dialed in so shots go where you point them. Total length runs about 21.4 inches, so it stores easier than you'd guess.
This one is for the range-day tinkerer, the collector who appreciates Old West character, and anyone who wants a conversation starter that shoots as good as it looks. Pair it with a brick of .22 LR and a lazy afternoon, and you'll understand why these long-barrel Rough Riders have such a loyal following.
Both, and that's the fun of it. The long barrel adds velocity to .22 LR loads and gives you a much longer sight radius, so hitting targets at extended handgun distances gets noticeably easier. It's also a nod to the classic Buntline revolvers of the Old West, so it earns plenty of attention at the range.
The BB in the model number stands for the Burnt Bronze finish on the frame, which is paired with a black barrel, black cylinder, and black wood grips. Mechanically it's the same proven Rough Rider single-action platform, just dressed up in a two-tone look you won't see on the standard blued version.
It weighs right around 46 ounces, with most of that out in the barrel. That forward weight steadies your hold rather than fighting it, and since it's chambered in soft-shooting .22 LR, recoil is basically nonexistent. Most folks find it settles on target nicely once they get used to the balance.
It's a great low-pressure way to learn single-action shooting. The manual hammer cocking builds good habits, .22 LR ammo keeps range trips cheap, and the simple fixed sights mean there's nothing to fiddle with. It's equally at home as a first fun gun or as a standout piece in an established collection.
