I have a set of fake staghorn grips on my Single-Ten. According to the Ruger catalog, these guns, the Nine and Ten, are members of the New Model Single-Six family. Ruger touts them as being strong, durable, dependable, and versatile. My experience with them supports that mantra. Plus, they are accurate.<\/p>\n<p>With the adjustable sights and the well-made barrels, I\u2019ve always found them to be spot on whether plinking, shooting paper targets, or hunting.

They are very economical to buy, with the average price running around $150. Yet, quality is there. Sometimes, Heritage offers a Rough Rider with custom grips, commemorating one thing or another.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" alt=\"Heritage Rough Rider, right profile\" class=\"wp-image-92360 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Rimfire-Revolers-Cow-8.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Rimfire-Revolers-Cow-8.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Rimfire-Revolers-Cow-8.jpg?resize=150%2C113&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Rimfire-Revolers-Cow-8.jpg?resize=640%2C480&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Rimfire-Revolers-Cow-8.jpg?resize=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Heritage Rough Rider, right profile\" class=\"wp-image-92360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Rimfire-Revolers-Cow-8.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Rimfire-Revolers-Cow-8.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Rimfire-Revolers-Cow-8.jpg?resize=150%2C113&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>The Heritage Rough Rider is a very economical bit of fun!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Heritage Barkeep<\/h2>\n<p>The Heritage Barkeep is a testimony to the fact that concealed carry is not a modern day phenomenon.
