Trading for a rough rider revolver on sat

[pwilson]

I've been wanting to trade my .22 rifle in for a smaller pistol for some time now..
Have a guy local to me wanting to trade a rough rider .22 revolver for it.

Anyone on here familiar with them? Thoughts/opinions?

Seen 'em in shops, new. They seemed OK for their $200 price point. I'm not sure I'd trade a good rifle for one though. What's the rifle?

[pwilson]

Marlin xt-22. Got the rifle for 185$ and the scope as a present

[AJBert]

Have to say I'm a bit more partial to a Ruger Single-Six, even more so if its a convertible. Problem is you'll spend a bit more than $200 for one.

[b4uqzme]

^^^ then the money is a fair swap. Depends on which one you like best. Still, I gotta wonder about a $200 revolver from a quality perspective. It is fun shooting a .22 SA revolver though. We have a Ruger in .22 mag/lr. Smiley loves it.

[pwilson]

Yeah the revolver is just for backyard plinking with my little brother in law.. I have my cw9 for sd

I would be really hard pressed to trade for THAT brand revolver . Pot metal frames at best there a cheap copy . A friend had a 22mag used for snakes . Frame broke in half after only 5 years of being a camp and truck gun . He replaced it with a ruger 22 revolver .

Sell the rifle and invest in a ruger that will last several life times .

I don't know anything about the gun in the OP.

First new Ruger I bought myself was this Single Six in 1959 - it's had many thousands of rounds through it over the past 56 years and is still tight with a shiny bore. Still has 99% of the bluing on the barrel, frame, & cylinder, but most of it on the backstrap behind the trigger guard is worn off from decades of handling:

You can never go wrong with a Super Single-Six Ruger.

I've seen used Rough Riders for $125. You might do better with your rifle.

we sold hundreds of them. still IMO the classiest of all wheel guns. That picture makes me drool..Just sayin

[b4uqzme]

^^^ That's better looking than the current Single Sixes. Now they are flat-tops like Blackhawks. Still pretty in stainless...I'm partial to stainless you know.

OP. Sorry to rain on your parade. I think a lot of us would rather see you invest a bit more in a known quality revolver. Ruger makes fine ones IMHO.

Maybe because you're still spending the commission. ;)

I like it better than my Colt New Frontier .22.

[pwilson]

So I just came back from the trade. Ends up its not a RR, it's a tanfoglio ta76, imported from Italy . Anyone know anything about these? I'm finding mixed reviews

[pwilson]

Yay! I finally own a wheel gun

[hardluk1]

Now you have a 90 dollar handgun if in 98% condition . We tried !! better start looking for springs and other small parts if needed .

[b4uqzme]

It's a plinker. You'll have fun.

Let us know how it shoots!

It could be just fine too. It's a toy to have fun with. My dad had a Hawes, same kind of deal but he shot and got along with it just fine.

My son brought a friends Hawes for me to try to work over, just like my dad's but it's days are done, just too messed up to do anything with.

Enjoy it for what it is, see how it works. If it's good, happy dance, if it's not, your not out a lives savings.

[Armybrat]

Have fun - wheelguns are a hoot to shoot!

[pwilson]

Took the gun squirrel hunting with my brother in law, was fun to shoot, didn't get anything, but figured out this thing is surprisingly loud for .22 and has a light crisp trigger pull. Requires a little more pressure than expected to remove spent cases but overall id say I'm happy with my purchase so far. Just need to figure out aIming with it

[getsome]

That's good to hear pwilson....Most of the Italian made guns are pretty well made and of decent quality....I have had 2 Uberti .45 sa Colt copy pistols and both were well made and shot good...The one I have now is very accurate for having fixed sights....I find that I have to bury the front blade until you almost cant see it to hit POI at 10 yards...Hope you enjoy your new pistol and welcome to the forum....

My early 70's super single six is one of my handful of never part with guns. Along with my Beretta Minx...the best vest pocket .22 plinker ever.

Interesting thumb rest grip for a cowboy type revolver. I made something similar for my Single Six but took them off as the plow handle original grips feel fine.
