The Greenville Gunfighters will begin allowing shooters of all ages to shoot .22 LR rifle and revolvers beginning with our January 2022 monthly match. Previously we adhered to the official SASS categories which meant only those aged 13 and younger could shoot rimfire.
Before the introduction of the Ruger Wrangler the young shooters were using a variety of revolvers including the Ruger Single Six, Ruger Bearcat and the Heritage Rough Rider.
Ruger centerfire SA revolvers are very popular in cowboy action. Now that Ruger is making the Wrangler it has developed a following.
Cowboy action shooters use a pair of revolvers so price is a factor, especially since a "Buckaroo" shooter will "age out" of a Rimfire and have to acquire centerfire revolvers. Alternatively if a local club allows adults to shoot rimfire the reasoning is usually to get new people into the game at a lower cost of firearms and ammo.
The Wrangler's street price hovers around $200 but two stores had them on sale recently for $179. The Heritage is often less expensive and there is a $20 rebate currently.
Does anyone have hands-on experience with both? Share your impressions.
