24 minutes ago, Krdshrk said:Was that price shipped? Even still - $55 difference then... Honestly - I'm not impressed. I'd rather not have to tighten screws out of the box... I'm ok with paying a bit more out of the box for the new hotness. The price will drop on the Wrangler later on too...
apparently, per the reviews, you are tightening the screws on the wrangler too. Frames are almost identical, screws are in the same spot only difference is Ruger has some hex screws. the barrel on the ruger is screw on vs heritage press so that is an advantage should you need to time the barrel
shipping was included...no contest, RR wins this bout on durability, price, safety, and 4 clicks......

ah hell, everyone should get a 617 and call it a day!!!!!! :):)

1 minute ago, Krdshrk said:Correct. I got mine for $220 OTD including NICS and Tax.
Ok so $119.99

+ $40 transfer and $15 NICS (not including tax) you're at $175.
I'd rather have a new cool gun that looks pretty modern and a lifetime warranty for $45 more. Heritage only has a 1 year warranty.... That one there also looks a helluva lot worse than my wrangler.
I also love how Heritage says "Fanning the hammer" voids their warranty... hahaha....
again, they were just 109 for fathers' day so that shoots the price point We are talking close to 100% differential here
again, disparage it all you want but the reviews online are excellent save the loose screws and I'll ask you as well, how many rounds downrange do you have on one? The problem here is the psychology of price to value we place on things with higher dollar values.
I handled the Ruger, played around with it and while it 'feels' beefier, I couldn't tell how it was better or worth $100 more. Now Ruger makes great revolvers and I'll certainly amend to that but no way it's 'better' at these prices considerations. How do I know, we've abused not one but 2 rough riders. Now I did loctite all the screws before shooting prior to the first range trip but never had an issue on the rough riders, not a single and the boys have almost gone through a half case of thunderbolt so yeah, they work.
Ruger has plastic grips, soft metal and mim....like the roughrider save the wood grips

again, nics and transfer is standard. You are not walking out sub 200 on them but rough riders are routinely in the sub 125 area and often at the c mark.
that said, based on what? you made a bold claim and I suspect based on nothing so I ask, based on what?
the ruger is nice but it's not 100% more nice and you are paying for name here. these may be the simplest firearms to produce in today's market save the derringers. Nothing intensive about it. Now you price the Ruger 125 area and we are talking

13 minutes ago, Maksim said:You can buy that for around $200 at FFLs... they are NOT charging you the transfer fee... just NICS.
And I think once availability gets better, you will see these for around $175.
bs they are not! I was just there! just stop, you really are behind the curve on this one.
I amended my post before, what are you basing your view on?
-
???? are you not paying that on the ruger? I just saw the ruger for 199 at shooters. It's nice, not 100% nicer than the rough rider when on sale
just curious, you say reliable and safe and big difference, based on what? how many rounds behind a rough rider do you have? the reviews are pretty good save loose screws.
I have 2, one for each boy and they've held up to a 11 and 8 yr old abuse and a LOT of rounds downrange. outstanding little guns for the price and there is no rocket science to making these things tic so I ask, based on what?
-
they go on sale all the time, just over the fathers day break I saw 109
-
meh.....buy the heritage rough rider. It's cheaper, same function, reliable and safe.
$200 vs $100, no brainer
