Check out this little buster to take to the woods.
This is my Rough Rider .17 HMR 6- shot SA revolver.
It has a 6.5 in. bb and adjustable rear target sight.
I haven't took a varmit with it YET but I know what it
will do to a 2X6 at 40 yds. It's also pretty accurate.
The grips are a little narrow for my taste so I'm carving
out, ( when arther allows ), some new ones. Am I on the right forum topic with this?

Thanks for all the good comments. I hope ya'll don't mind a RAIN check
on the performance update cause it was too RAINY today to take target
practice. If you can't tell, TOO RAINY IS A VERY GOOD THING around here.
I'll try and post pic of my groups when I shoot it again.

Thats a nice looking shooter bud! I have always loved the nostalgie of the revolver.I really like the HMR.I used the .22 for small game and when the new HMR and HM2 burst on the shooting scene I had to have one.
I first got an HM2 and was amazed with how flat it shot.Not too mention the wound channel it provided at ranges the .22 wasn`t known for.I spent a bit on the HM2 and really put the $$ out for the HMR.I gave the old Marlin model 60 the job of "coon getter".
I started wanting to retire the model 60 for a hand gun and thought this is just the job for a revolver.I had looked into a few semi-auto .22`s and was almost set on one when I thought back to the first day I shot the HMR.An 06 model Taurus SS in an HMR came up for a really great price and I bought it.
It`s a 5" 8 shot stainless model.I havn`t been able to shoot it yet.
What have you fed it?
Did you get a holster for it?
