There is nothing else on the rimfire wall quite like the Heritage Rough Rider Rancher. It is built around the same single action revolver design Heritage has been turning out since 1992, only stretched into a proper shoulder fired carbine with a 16.12 inch barrel and a checkered walnut stock. Every shot starts with a thumb on the hammer, just like the revolving rifles of the Old West, and that slow, deliberate pace is a big part of the charm. If a day of plinking has started to feel routine, this thing brings the fun right back.
The aluminum alloy receiver keeps weight down to a level anyone in the family can comfortably handle, while the blued steel barrel and fluted 6 round cylinder give it that classic look. Up front you get a fixed sight paired with a notch rear, a simple setup that fits the character of the gun and works fine at the distances a .22 LR carbine is meant for. A manual safety lever on the left side of the frame adds a layer of control on top of the traditional single action lockwork, and the hooked trigger guard gives your support hand a natural place to ride.
Mild .22 LR recoil, cheap ammo, and a trigger that owners consistently describe as smoother than the revolvers it grew out of make this an easy gun to shoot all afternoon. It has earned a following as a ranch truck companion, a small game and pest gun around the property, and a conversation starter at the range. New shooters pick up the manual of arms quickly since every step of loading, cocking, and firing is deliberate. For anyone who appreciates Western style firearms or just wants something genuinely different in the safe, the Rough Rider Rancher delivers a lot of personality in a light, handy package.
No, despite sometimes getting sorted into the semi auto category, the Rancher is a single action revolving carbine. You cock the hammer by hand for every shot, just like a classic single action revolver. That is a big part of what makes it such a unique and enjoyable range gun.
It loads exactly like a traditional single action revolver. Open the loading gate, rotate the cylinder, and drop rounds into each of the six chambers one at a time. Spent cases are pushed out through the same gate using the ejector rod under the barrel.
This is a plinking and small game gun through and through. The light weight, mild .22 LR recoil, and cheap ammo make it a blast for casual range days, pest control around the property, and squirrel or rabbit hunting at reasonable distances. It is also a great pick for anyone who loves Western style firearms and wants something different from the usual rimfire lineup.
Yes, in addition to the traditional single action design that requires manually cocking the hammer for each shot, there is a manual safety lever on the left side of the frame. It gives you an extra layer of control that the original revolving rifles of the 1800s never had.
