There's no way around it, a single action revolver with a 16 inch barrel turns heads the moment it comes out of the case. The Heritage Rough Rider 16 inch is a nod to the famous Colt Buntline of the 1800s, the long-barreled six shooter of Wild West lore, scaled down to rimfire and built in Bainbridge, Georgia. This version comes with adjustable sights instead of the fixed setup, which is the one you want if you plan to shoot it at real distance rather than just hang it on the wall. And plenty of folks do both.
The combo setup is a big part of the appeal here. You get a .22 LR cylinder for cheap, quiet plinking sessions and a .22 WMR cylinder for when you want more reach and thump on small game or pests around the property. Swapping between them takes seconds, just pull the base pin, trade cylinders, and you're back in business. The LR cylinder will also happily run .22 Shorts and Longs, which makes this a fun one for introducing new folks to shooting.
That long tube gives you a sight radius most handguns can only dream about, and paired with the adjustable rear sight you can dial your zero to match your preferred load instead of guessing at holdover. Rested over sandbags or braced against a tree in the squirrel woods, this thing is surprisingly capable at distances that would embarrass a snub nose. Recoil is basically nonexistent, so you can focus on trigger press and follow-through.
The black oxide finish and cocobolo wood grips give it that proper frontier character, while the hammer-block thumb safety adds a layer of security you won't find on most single actions, a welcome touch when this ends up being someone's first revolver. Six rounds, single action only, and a whole lot of personality. Whether it's range day entertainment, a truck gun for the back forty, or the start of a rimfire habit, this one delivers way more fun than its price tag suggests.
Yes, this model (RR22MB16AS) is the combo version, so both a .22 LR cylinder and a .22 WMR cylinder come in the box. Swapping them takes just a few seconds by removing the base pin. That means cheap plinking with LR ammo and extra punch with Magnum loads, all from one gun.
The LR cylinder handles .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 LR, which gives you a lot of flexibility for quiet backyard-style plinking or teaching new folks. Just remember .22 WMR only goes in the dedicated Magnum cylinder, the two rounds are not interchangeable between cylinders.
The long barrel gives you a huge sight radius, and the adjustable rear sight on this model lets you zero for your specific load, which the fixed sight version can't do. Shot from a rest or braced position, it's a genuinely capable small game and tin can gun well past typical handgun distances. Offhand takes some practice since the balance is very front-heavy, but that's part of the Buntline charm.
It's one of the most popular starter single actions out there for good reason. Recoil in .22 is next to nothing, the manual hammer-block safety adds peace of mind for newer folks, and Heritage backs it with a one year warranty. It's a low-cost way to learn revolver fundamentals without babying a safe queen.
