Heritage 22 revolver???
« on: April 22, 2014, 10:44:42 AM »

They are pretty cheap and my birthday is quickly approaching.....

any first hand experience? and no, I don't want to know what the youtube video you watched said.

I had one. Great little singla action for the price. I think Ne Bull wound up with mine a while back.

It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

Yep. 
Decent for the money.  pretty accurate, also.  I haven't had any issues with it.

$150 - $200
Cabelas has a nice one with the green/ camo laminate in .32 H&R Mag if you want something a little more than .22 (And probably easier to find ammo ;) )

cabelas has them listed online at $199
I'm sure if I shopped around I could get one cheaper, I've heard ones that don't come with the 22 mag cylinder are a bit cheaper as well, to me tracking one down online, ordering it paying shipping and FFL isn't worth it to end up saving only a couple bucks compared to buying it at cabelas.

I've seen the .22LR only ones for less than $150 ish
UpCrawfish- how are those been holding up, or have they got a chance at many rounds yet?

I got one for my dad for his retirement a couple years ago. My brother in law also has one. IMO, for the price, they can't be beat. Both are holding up well and see a typical amount of use. My dad also like the .22 mag option, and has killed a larger critter or two with it.

As I posted in another thread about these a while back...

Cheap. Pot metal. Poor craftsmanship.

I'd take a well-worn H&R over a Heritage any day, but that's just me.

long story short i bought it, but the wife took it won't let me play with it until my birthday.....

and yes if anyone was at cabelas last night I was the guy who didn't bring the diaper bag and his kid shat himself and it stunk something terrible.... that was me, sorry about that

I have to agree based on my experience with a Heritage Arms Rough Rider that I bought twelve years ago. It seemed like I was forever tightening screws on that thing (I was not keen on loctiting it, though some blue loctite probably would have done the trick). Within a year of buying it, a flat spring broke. I ended up just giving it to my dad.

Bottom line: The Heritage revolvers are a bargain and everything, but they are cheaply made guns, too. There is nothing the matter with buying a cheap gun for some range fun, but when I got another rimfire revolver I ended up getting a Ruger Single-Six.  I am much more impressed with it.

the feeling i'm getting is most of them that were purchased more than a couple years ago are pretty rough.
I just handled one yesterday, and a ruger and the action on the heritage felt better
they were sitting side by side in the case at cabelas.

we'll find out how mine shoots and works soon enough

I have a High Standard Double Nine that my Father bought for me at a TG&Y store in Jacksonville, Arkansas in 1967. I have not shot it in ages, but my recollection is that it is a quality piece of equipment and was a lot of fun to shoot. Don't know if they are still available, and if so, what the price would be.
