I plan on buying a new rimfire revolver sometime in the next few weeks. I want something that has interchangeable .22lr/.22mag cylinders. Right now my sights are set on the Heritage rough rider combo with the 9-shot .22lr cylinder and 4.75" barrel. Ive also looked at the Puma m-1873. I dont know much about the Puma, I just know there are ALOT more of the Heritages around and figured it must be for good reason. Is there a better option in the sub-$300 range? If not, which of the two mentioned is best? It will be used for plinking, small game at short range, and a fishing sidearm to shoot snakes and such.
