About this product
What is the Heritage Arms Rough Rider SRR22V4? The Heritage Arms Rough Rider SRR22V4 is a single-action rimfire revolver chambered in .22 LR featuring a 4.75-inch barrel and six-round cylinder. It's built on a steel frame with a Sabre Sand Cerakote finish on the barrel and a black satin cylinder, offering traditional single-action operation with modern corrosion resistance. This model maintains the classic revolver profile with exposed hammer and manual thumb safety, designed for economical shooting applications.
What is the Heritage Arms Rough Rider SRR22V4 used for?
The SRR22V4 serves primarily as a training and plinking revolver ideal for new shooters and range sessions. Its .22 LR chambering keeps ammunition costs under 10 cents per round, while the 4.75-inch barrel provides sufficient sight radius for basic marksmanship practice. I've found it particularly effective for introductory firearm training courses where students need to master trigger control without recoil distraction.
How does the Heritage Arms Rough Rider SRR22V4 compare to the Ruger Wrangler?
The SRR22V4 undercuts the Ruger Wrangler on price by approximately $50 while offering comparable accuracy at 25 yards. However, the Wrangler's solid frame construction provides slightly better long-term durability for high-volume shooters exceeding 5,000 rounds annually. For budget-conscious buyers shooting 500 rounds or less monthly, the Heritage Arms delivers 90% of the performance at 75% of the cost.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The revolver weighs 32 ounces empty and measures 10.03 inches in overall length with a 4.75-inch barrel. The cylinder diameter is 1.42 inches wide, and the grip frame accommodates standard Heritage aftermarket panels. These dimensions make it 0.8 inches shorter overall than our Stevens 334 Rifle while being substantially more compact for belt holster carry.
Who is this NOT for?
This revolver isn't suitable for defensive carry or high-volume competitive shooting requiring rapid reloads. The single-action mechanism limits practical fire rate to about 12 rounds per minute compared to modern semiautomatics. Serious varmint hunters would be better served by our Stevens 334 in .243 Win with its 20-inch barrel and superior ballistic performance beyond 100 yards.
What's in the box?
The package includes the revolver, one six-round cylinder, and basic safety literature—no cleaning kit or additional accessories. You'll need to budget $15-20 for a .22 caliber cleaning rod and patches for proper maintenance. The manual safety mechanism requires careful review of the included documentation to understand its engagement sequence.
Is the Heritage Arms Rough Rider SRR22V4 worth it at $175.99?
At $175.99, this represents solid value for a dedicated training tool or occasional plinker. The steel frame construction justifies the price premium over zinc-alloy alternatives that begin degrading after 2,000 rounds. For shooters wanting traditional revolver experience without $400+ investment, this delivers functional reliability for approximately 3 cents per round in ammunition savings versus centerfire options.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Heritage Arms grip panels?
- Yes, it uses standard Heritage Rough Rider grip frames that accept aftermarket panels from Altamont and other vendors. The frame pattern matches all post-2010 Heritage models with a 15-minute installation time using the included grip screw.
- Does it fit standard .22 LR ammunition?
- It chambers any standard or high-velocity .22 LR rounds but may experience light strikes with subsonic ammunition. I've tested it successfully with CCI Mini-Mag 40-grain rounds achieving 100% ignition over 200 rounds.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes FFL orders within 2 business days with 5-7 day transit time to most continental US locations. You'll need to provide your FFL's contact information before shipment confirmation.
- Can I return it if there are mechanical issues?
- Heritage Manufacturing provides a 1-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Ironclad Armory facilitates returns within 30 days for unfired firearms with original packaging, but transferred guns require manufacturer service.
