My cousin had one when we were kids. Bullets were available and cheap and we completely wore it out. The smith could only fix it so many times timing it . It keep getting more frequent for its trips to the shop. I think it was given or thrown away.
In the other hand the ruger never went to the shop and still in use 20 years later.
For the price point they are a fine close range .22 you won't loose any sleep over if its lost or stolen. Depending on intended use they are fine. Just keep in mind your not getting something that will withstand heavy use and get passed down. What do you consider heavy use?

I’ve beat mine up, I’ve had it for probably 6 or 7 years, and it always shoots when I need it to. Very dependable. And can take a beating. That being said, I believe the new ones are about the same price as a ruger wrangler on discount, in which case I would for sure buy a wrangler.

If you can find one, I'd go with a Ruger Wrangler. A lot better gun at nearly the same price.
Charlie I agree. I own both, and much prefer the Wrangler.

I paid $116.00 with tax for the Heritage Rough Rider 6 shot LR. I was looking up the Ruger and it was $250.00 plus. But we know there are sales etc. Thanks for all the good input. Will give it a try and let you know how I like it. I will be shooting some bulk Rem. bulk and some CCI stingers. We all know 22 LR bulk ammo is not the ammo to judge you fire arm's by. LOL

I must have got real lucky with mine, they’re as accurate as I can be. If I miss with my heritage it’s on me. I’ve got three of em, all as accurate as any other pistol I’ve got

Junk except up close no accuracy but the biggest issue is a lot of them shave lead going down the tube the timing or alignment of the barrel and cylinder on a lot of them are bad Sounds like mine can’t hit the broad side of a barn with it
I don’t trap because I want to I trap because I have to

Ruger wranglers on sale in some area ads here, very reasonably priced at $199. Jim

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I have had one for many years and have never had an issue. Gets dragged around all year long and always gets the job done. After saying that I'm one that doesn't have to have to best or finest item on the market to make me happy. It gets the job done just like the rest of the pistols mentioned so my thinking why spend big money on something that get abused like mine does.
