I think you'll enjoy it. Not bad on the price, either. I have several
Heritage .22s. I'm not a huge fan of their sights, but hell, if I wanted a
Single Six, I'd pay Single Six prices. The nice thing about the Heritage is
that if you drop it off the 4 wheeler and into the mud you're not going to kick
yourself in the ass about it all day long.
I know that kinda sounds like I'm bad-mouthing the Heritage Rough Riders, but
I'm not. I'm also fond of the Hi-Point, as well as my Sundance A-25 as well as
my Heritage. Yeah, I DO like my "cheap" guns. They're great fun to plink with,
good and dependable enough to carry as a critter plinker, and the added benefit
is that they're so damned inexpensive you can just buy as many as you want.
Get used to that miserable front sight and you'll find that the gun will
outshoot you all day long.
... The number you have dialed...Nine-one-one...has been changed.
