Rough Rider at Gander

[Day444]

Ok, I wouldn't mind a single action .22 revolver! Gander has the Heritage Rough Rider (4 3/4" barrel) on sale for $119.99. There's a $20 off coupon that's good on firearms. Knocks the price down to $108.xx with tax! Not to shabby.

@WP_ Plinker had one slightly used for $80 not sure if he ever sold it !

Always wondered about those. For that price, how can you go wrong?

 

[ArmedCorgi]

I have one. They aren't bad little plinkers, especially for the price. The barrel and cylinder is solid. The grip handles are very nice too. Not sure on the internals, but the frame is aluminum alloy so not the most durable or sturdy, also has a cheap look up close. They do make an all steel version, but it's at the same price you could grab a slightly used single six for. I'm glad I bought one, but I also would like a single six.

For 100$?? It already should have been tested and told us how fun it was.

My thoughts exactly, now it's just hurry up and wait for the amendment to the permit... (Final price $108.11! Why get a used one?)

 

[Bananabandit]

I know Buds wont ship those to NY. But for a Benjamin, why not? Ive spent $100 worse

 

[MoMan]

What the hell, why not?? It's only 5 Tubmans after all!!

Like was said, fun little plinker. Pain to unload though if it is the same model I'm thinking of.

 

[Figment]

Ordered mine tonight, and hope to pick it up tomorrow. Hell of a deal. I wish it was the 6.5" barrel model, but for that discount, I'm not going to complain about getting the 4.75". It'll be a lot of fun.

Same as any single action, no? Or are they more of a pain?

 

[Figment]

Before I bought it I watched a few videos including hickock45s here:
Doesn't seem harder to unload than any other single action, you just use the ejector rod. Slower maybe, but that's part of the fun of the gun.

Not familiar enough with them; as the Hickok45 video showed it is loaded/unloaded one cartridge at a time.

 

[4excal]

Hell, I might go do it too. My Chiapa 1873 is similar in low priced .22 plinker and it's awesome and reliable! Yes, one poke at a time to remove brass.

Don't forget to ask for the 5% bankruptcy reduction. It was on the website a few days after they filed for bankruptcy.

Two weeks have past, still waiting on the amendment to show up!

I know that feels man. I usually take a photo of the gun after buying it so I won't forget what it looks like while I wait on the amendment, lol. It sucks.

Ouch, guess I'm lucky in Oneida County that I just bring it to the Pistol Office and get it added the same day.

Love the Yoda Avatar!

I agree. While I have little use for anything Onondaga offers (sporting, Fair, smelly lake etc) I will say Im glad we dont have to wait for amendments.

That's not to say I'm completely happy; I still need to take time off of work to go during the week; the Pistol Office is in Utica, on the 5th (I think) Floor, or they have hours in Rome on Thursdays. Except when I tried to remove a pistol on a Thursday one time it was closed due to a funeral... rather than head to Utica I tried again in a couple of weeks. I do wish they'd issue 'coupons' ahead of time like some counties do. Not that I planned on buying anything at the Syracuse Gun Show, but if I had wanted a pistol I could not have picked it up that day, causing higher costs (transfer fees etc).

FUNYS..

 

[Bananabandit]

I work late evenings or night hours. So I can do it before work. I know not everyone gets that luxury. I prefer working weekends so I have weekdays off. Again, most people want it due to kids.

 

[Day444]

Well, still waiting to pick this pistol up! Any way Heritage is offering a free one year membership with the NRA. No to shabby if you're thinking about joining the NRA. (I know there are mixed feelings about joining. So this is not in any way a plug for them. Just tossing it out there.)

 

[Day444]

Hey, my amendment finally came after almost 4 weeks! So off to Gander I went. Had my (permission) coupon and the rest of the paperwork. Took me almost a half hour to finally get the gun in my hand.
Electronic 4473, more paperwork by the clerk, sign a few things then done. Now to go shoot this little plinker!

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Nice!! Congratulations, you are gonna love the Rough Rider! Let us know how you find it to be.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Pics too, or it never happened.

Ordered the .22 Magnum cylinder for my Rough Rider. Price with shipping $39, so what the hell. Gives me one more option to plink with. Wait time is a bit long, so much for sending a money order but they don't offer the cylinder's on line!

"Thank you for your email and support of our brand. I do apologize for the wait time of your order being processed and getting a response. I was unable to locate an order with your name or phone number in our system. (My guess is she didn't do much to check!) Mail orders usually take 4-6 weeks to be logged in and process by the mail order team..."

When I called and spoke to them I was told that they could not find an order under my name. I was also told that it takes 4-6 weeks for the order to be input into their system. THEN she told me that the .22 magnum cylinder were on back order and would probably be 10 weeks before I get it.
Three days after I called, the mailman was at the door with the cylinder. They are very confused.

 

[Day444]

Did the live chat option today (With Heritage Firearms) and questioned my order for the .22 Magnum Cylinder. Yes, they received my order. Yes, it's being processed. Estimated time for it to arrive 7 to 15 business days! I sent my money order to them on May 23rd, this is taking a painfully long time. Too long in this day and age in my opinion. Yeah, I could have spent more money a bought one on eBay. Probably would have had it by now if I did.
They informed me to again contact them (Tuesday July 27th) for my order info and shipping tracking number. This is taking way to long, I'm not happy with this situation. Wish they had mentioned that orders could take this long somewhere on their site.

 

[Haunt]

There is barely any difference in the two cylinders. Maybe the magnum is a stronger steel?

 

[thegatman]

The 22 mag cylinder is longer and only takes 22 mag. 22 mag will not fit in a 22 cylinder.
