I am very happy with the RR I got a couple years ago. It has been accurate, although it did need a little "help" to ge to point of aim. There will be detractors mentioning the frame material being ZAMAC. they will call it pot metal, but it is actually a zinc, aluminum, magnesium alloy, and is used in other firearms as well as automotive and aerospace products.
Looking at the on-line add it appears that at this price it is the 22 rimfire only model, not the convertible with the extra 22 WMR cylinder. To me that really isn't a big thing. I have only shot my RR with the magnum rounds a couple times, and don't really see the need.
The Rough Rider is by no way a Ruger, but it will provide a lot of shooting fun for half the price!
