FIRST thing I thought of when I saw the thumbnail was Lee Van Cleef in For a Few Dollars More. Love those movies

The rough rider was the first gun I ever bought and still have it, I think this would pair well with it as a companion gun

I wish Heritage would bring back .32 H&R magnum revolvers, AND offer this in that caliber.

Impressive. Seriously, the outfit, the showmanship, the cool little rifle - keep it up, please. Only complaint is that the video was too short, but I guess that just keeps me looking forward to the next one, right?!? I really enjoyed the video, and now I want one of these little rifles. Heritage does a fine job with their stuff, and I hope Ruger and the rest try to horn in on the new market - truth be told, I will still buy the Rancher..

That is some serious 'Old West Styling'. Single action only, loading gate, and single case ejection.

I just picked up a Heritage 16-incher revolver today. Will test fire asap! The Rancher may be the next for my .22 collection. Nice period clothing and backdrop for this particular video!

I fired a Rossi .38/357 rifle in that configuration at a range in Arizona! Nice to know someone is making a rimfire!

Revolver carbines are like the well made things that we can't have anymore, except we can now that they are affordable, they're reliable, beautiful, accurate and fun, and the larger caliber revolver carbines are a thing of legend.

Great review very informative. I just wanted to say that I did purchase this rifle before watching this post over much debate on which single action 22lr I wanted to buy. I am very happy with the rifle it shoots very well both in the 22lr and the 22 WMR calibers. Everything about this rifle is quite unique. It is well built . The fit and finish is very good. The combination of a really kool rifle and the price can not be beat. I recommend this rifle to anyone who has the desire or need to own it. One thing I would like to share. Is when I was firing this rifle I put my support hand underneath the back of the stock near the sling swivel and my firing hand in a support position at the grip. I utilized the trigger guard hook as support for my firing hand. I found this position very accommodating. I could move my face further away from the cylinder flash and a much better support position and line of sight to fire from both at the bench sitting and standing unsupported firing positions. With practice this firing method is the way to go. Your keeping your support hand away from that cylinder flash as well. Just thought this might help someone in deciding whether or not to purchase. Lever action rifles in comparison do have rounds in the magazine as an advantage. Yet we all know what has to be done to reload the tube magazine vs the six round cylinder. Both the lever and revolver rifles are single action. One real advantage the cylinder has over the lever is you don't have to move all those parts to fire the rifle. You just haver to pull the hammer back and fire. Lever action 22lr is just that. Not a combination 22lr and 22 WMR of both with just a cylinder change. These cylinder's are very available at the Heritage web site in many different types, colors, engraving's. The 6 cylinder vs the 9 cylinder weapons are not interchangeable. 6 to 6 and 9 to 9. Hope this didn't get to long I just felt that you all should know.

Great review . That little gun in .38 special would be awesome!

Nicely done! Just ordered one a few days ago from Buds, along with a revolver with both cylinders. I was looking for some confirmation bias on youtube, and your video helped! Thanks again and keep up the great work! Great personality, demeanor, content...nicely done! I hope to see you with 100k+ subs here soon! God bless!

I have the 6" and 16" revolvers. I ordered the Rancher and am PACING the floor 😂😂😂 CAN'T WAIT! I LOVED the video 😁😎

This is a hell of a lot more interesting than any other 22LR "rifle" out there.

My step dad gave me a heritage arms 22 LR some years back. It was old when he gave it to me. Loved it. I still have it. A friend of mine ordered me one of those without the butt stock on it.

I think there was a TV series way back in the 90s entitled Lazarus which was portrayed by the late Robert Urich. In one episode, he used a Colt revolving carbine. I liked the rifle so I bought one, a brand new Uberti revolving carbine in .45 Colt with an 18 inch barrel and fixed sights. I sold it later when I retired because .45 Colt ammunition were getting to be more expensive to shoot. Good thing I saw your video and found out that Heritage came out with a .22 version. I will definitely get one soon. Thank you.

It’s got a safety so there is no need to load just 5 rounds; that is one of the reasons I love rough riders. Man I love your threads!

I bought the Heritage pistol with the 16" barrel, and I'm looking forward to getting this one next. Lots of fun for very little money!

Sweet little piece. It is definitely on my list. I want the 16 inch handgun too. Too many wants, not enough wallet lol.

Richard, another great video. Thank you

Hooo Weeee!! Gonna have to add this to my .22 collection!!

How am I just finding out about this thing?!? It's such a cool little carbine! You say it's a range toy but I would absolutely take this rabbit/squirrel hunting and have a ball doing it. Heritage is a very underrated company.

My wife bought me a Heritage 6 inch 20 years ago. I’ve got Glocks, 1911s, Smiths....guess which one I shoot the most😃

This is probably the best video you've done there is somthing about it that makes me want to get up and buy ten of those

I bought the Rancher to add to my growing Heritage collection. It's shipping to my FFL right now, and I have the bronze .22WMR cylinder right here waiting. My crippling GunBroker addiction coupled with the affordable prices and seemingly limitless editions of the stalwart Rough Rider keep me engaged. 🤠

Good safety information, especially explaining how to safely hold the revolving carbine. Good demonstration of the sling, the safety working and how to shoot the carbine.

This is the first Ive seen of this thing....added to the shopping list. Cool presentation also. Thanks!

I'm in love with this gun, definitely gonna have to pick one up

yea, I Hope that Heritage comes out with a .32 H&R Mag. later. It would be a great coyote ranch gun.

I can never remember the title of that old Western film where one character carried a harmonica rifle. All I remember is that the guy would go through the loads in several of the "cylinders" and stop at the last chamber of the last cylinder to pull a small cigar out and strike a match to light it.

Was commissioned by Ned Buntline for Colt to produce 4, one was given to Wyatt Earp, I appreciate the heads up. Am real glad to see Heritage has produced this gun, even if I'm a year or 2 late.

NICE! Proud to say these are made down the road from me in Bainbridge Georgia (not Miami), love there handguns too.

You are correct in that. I took your statement to be a generalization of hand guns, not the movie. I saw on line a shoulder stock that held a pistol in a molded hand piece. There letter from the ATF said: since it does not attach, they consider it a rest. Interesting.

Really nice overview of this little rifle, and some sharp shooting to boot. Thanks for the video, Richard! I hope I can pick one of these carbines up myself.

Now you gotta go short and do the new Barkeep revolver from Heritage. ;-)

Thank you for an excellent range presentation. I see so many useless videos that show the narrator shooting with no target/distance results. What good does it do to watch someone pull a trigger with no results. And being truthful about the safety device and use of plastic on the shell ejector shows tou are an honest man. Are these Heritage guns made in the USA? They sure are inexpensive, but 100 yd. results are amazing for a .22 rf.

This would be a really fun rabbit gun. Probably not the most practical option, but you’d feel so cool.

I have this exact model and have a lot of fun with it. I tend to cross my left arm underneath it and hold my right elbow with my left hand. Then I rest my right hand on top of the crook of my left elbow. It makes a very stable platform to shoot from.

Great review ! Thinking about getting me one of those

Have not seen one of these before. I do have one of the old Navy Arms revolving carbines based on the 1875 Remington in 357 Mag. Might have to get one of these to go with it.

El Dorado has a revolver rifle held by Arthur Hunnicutt's Bull, it is a more standard rifle size, but it is a cool little thing to separate him from the rest of the cast.

I own the Heritage Rough Rider 6in Revolver This looks like its fun to shoot. and Is a Nice addition to a 22 cal collection,Good Video BTW Cheers !!

I was at rual King the other day they had 2 of these and I put one in layaway and .my coworker grabbed the other thanks for posting plan on having mine out this coming weekend

This is the first I've seen of these...guess when I see it in person I'm buying one. Good video, my thanks for showing this gun exists!

Great video buddy. I watched Ky Gun Co show these before Christmas and I have wanted one since. I will wait till mid year to see if price is better but I will get one for sure. Your saloon and outfit is perfect. You look ready for cowboy action shooting now. Maybe Wheelgun Richard😄😂😂. But seriously good job and some 100 yard shots was dead on👍👍🇺🇸

Let's not forget "Bull" (Arthur Hunnicutt) in El Dorado... He played Marching Through Georgia with his revolving carbine, shooting the church bells. 🤣

I shoot the Remington 1858 .44 revolving carbine. Very accurate at 50 yards and can hit a large bullseye @ 100 yards. I use X sticks or a Caldwell Lead Sled. I will be upgrading it to a .45 Colt cylinder for safer shooting without chain fire.

Paid $120 for the 6 inch model was the the LR and Magnum cylinder used. Looks like it hasn't been fired much. My son will claim it in a few years when he is ready.

Yeeehaww! Awesome vid, pard. Love that gun.

I’m going to have to get one of those, I love your outfit too you look very sharp.

Why do I immediately like this fella?

Thanks so much for this review! It was great. Hard to find reviews of unique guns!

I will say this for Heritage Rough Riders. Their sear lock-work is very deliberate/positive and very audible. Every video on shooting these guns you can hear six very distinctive "clickclackstop..pews"

Hey I really liked your video, it was very well put together. The only thing was that you let the hammer forward from the half cock position, this is a BIG NO for single action revolvers as it can mess up the timing leaving a groove on the cylinder. The proper procedure for laying the hammer down from any position is always to cock it all the way back before lowering it so the complete cycle of the action can occur. Just a friendly tip. Keep up the good videos!

I have also figured out if you have the bartender revolver you can switch out the cylinders for 22 magnum

Great video I love their Rough Ryder revolvers looking to get the one with the 14-16 inch barrel sometime. They are a good value for the money.

Need to put out the 9 shot version.

I had a 686 that I carried on duty (early days) and I would get these black marks on my right thumb and fore finger. Myself and the range master could not figure where they were coming from. No pain no deformation on the skin. The range master was watching my grip and said he knew how and what was going on. We were carrying some hot fiocche .357. I was getting tattooed with lead that was shearing off on the forcing cone! I corrected my grip and the embedded lead pieces eventually went away.

Very good review

Another fine firearm to add to the Heritage scam!! Looks like I might have to join you. Great video as always!

Fun video, I haven't seen this rifle before. Great job as always!

Thanks for sharing. Heritage Manufacturing firearms are a great value.

That hook system on the leather strap is the old military type. Same color strap and brass plated hooks. Should have a leather loop about an inch wide you slide down over the two straps and by the hooks to keep them in place.

thank you algorithm, great video

It wasn’t easy to find but I was able to track one of these down & I’m glad I bought it because it’s a fun little carbine revolver to shoot with both the 22LR & 22WMR cylinders. The only cons were some scratches on the barrel where it looks like whoever installed the barrel sling mount didn’t know what they were doing. The finish isn’t great either but considering how long I waited to find one & then how long it took KYGUNCO to ship it I got over it quickly once it was in my hands 😆.

Love your bar/shed, especially when you did the barkeep video. Cool period outfits too. Great shooting. The one thing that turned me off on the revolving rifle was the guy in Lonesome Dove that had one. I guess it just shows how good of an actor he was.

Wow what a beautiful weapon!!

Like it, I'm hoping to get one, thanks for the video.

Nice rough rider rancher Richard. You know I just made this line up before the four of us going to the ok corral all right Mike Believue, Your Call Give Richard A Rough Rider Rancher They'll be less apt to get nerv-i-ous if he's on the street howitzer.

Excellent review 🫡🫡

I also like the revolving carbine. The price is not bad for a novelty gun. I'm sure they will go down a little after they have been out for a while. Thanks for the video.

What a cool rifle. First time seeing this. Thanks!

Has Heritage said that the .22WMR can be shot out of the Rancher with the .22WMR cylinder? I assume that it could be I just have not seen anywhere that Heritage has said that. I have a Rough Rider that I bought with both cylinders and putting the .22WMR cylinder in a Rancher to complement the RR would really be cool! Also, one of the more iconic revolving rifles was carried by "Bull" Harris as played by Arthur Hunnicutt in 1966's "El Dorado" with John Wayne and Robert Mitchum. He carried an 1855 Colt Revolving Carbine.

It does look like it would be a lot of fun.I'm going to hold off for a little while,hopefully the price will come down.

I hand carved a front grip from Walnut but have to wear a leather left-hand shooting glove. Only took me one round to figure out I needed a glove.

The character Bull in El Dorado also had a revolver rifle.

Great gun my friend bought he got one arm shoot better then me ,take him a while to load but he still shootin

If you've ever fired a revolving carbine in 357 magnum, you know exactly why they never caught on. I'm really liking the idea of one in 22 magnum though.

Nice presentation!!!

Kurt Russel ! Kirk Douglas was not in the hateful 8

Outstanding review & presentation.

I like the new look 👍

Hmm, so holding the barrel area is always a bad idea for any revolving carbine...? My favorite weapon of the Civil War is the Colt 1855 Revolving Carbine, and the engineer in me was looking at this Heritage Rancher and was screaming at me to fashion a custom wooden handguard for it, along with an extended ejector (so the handle can stick out of the handguard) made out of aluminum rather than the original plastic. But if it's dangerous to do so, I guess that's that project scrapped.

i'm seeing some with a 22mag cyl now

I have a high standard double nine with a 9 1/2 inch barrel. I wouldn't mind putting in a stock on it, the government on the other hand

I am from Merrie England for my sins. Back in the seventies there was a similar looking revolver available in the sporting (gun) press. It had a long barrel to comply with shotgun laws, it was calibred in only 9mm for shotgun use, thus making it more a rat gun than anything. From memory, I think it may well have had only a standard SA type butt. I tried looking for one some years back, but I got nowhere in tracking it down, so I guess they never caught on...!!!

the salem lakes armory stock is nicer and you can go back and forth between pistol and rifle AND its easier to get and cheaper

They were called a Buntline Special.

It would be a faster reload to just switch cylinders on the fly with a pre-loaded cylinder. I’d go to 22 magnum if I went to the expense of additional cylinders however. That goes for all the pistolas as well.

Hahaha! I love it! Im getting one. Thanks for the video. Also you got a new sub

Heritages never made me take a second look because of that safety. This one, however is getting some serious consideration from me. A. Because it would be super easy to clean. B. The cylinder frame is aluminum as opposed to zinc alloy. C. I love cowboy guns.

Sweet getup brother! And great shootin'!

Kirk Douglas ? You mean Kirk Russel.

Awesome! would compliment my Henry Large loop nice.

Kirk Douglas did not star in the hateful eight. That was Curt Russell.

Make a 9 shot version please!

needs to be made in .327 fed mag

Super cool rifle love it

Have one ordered at my local gun store but it's on back order. Hopefully it gets here soon, really looking forward to plinking with this carbine. Great vid

Great video.

I'm the stupid guy that just bought a new 12 gauge right around the time this came out. The online shop I buy from at the moment just sold out! Going on the goose chase next pay check now!
