Stag handles give a revolver a rustic, frontier appearance, and on a Rough Rider it comes at a bargain price. This Small Bore model is a .22 LR with a 6.5 inch barrel and six rounds, with a blued finish and stag pattern grips.

The handles are the main draw. They give the revolver a Wild West flavor without the cost of genuine stag. Hold one in your hand and see if you like the texture, since stag style grips can feel rougher than smooth wood.

As a shooter, the Rough Rider is simple and fun. Cocking the hammer, lining up the sights and pressing the trigger are all easy to learn. The recoil is almost nothing. Cans, paper and steel plates are all fair targets.

It is a good choice for a person who wants a rimfire plinker with some style. It would also fit in a cowboy-themed gun collection without costing much.

Keep the blued finish oiled in damp weather, and it will last through plenty of use.

The listing is new. It ships to your FFL dealer, where the background check takes place.
