I'm sure others will disagree but I have a heritage arms rough rider 22/22mag. I have had nothing but good luck with it. Probably 1500 rounds through it (all lr no mags), and not a bit of trouble. It is as accurate as I can ask it to be (more accurate than me). The main reason I bought it though is the $189 price tag brand new! Good luck

I would recommend the Ruger Single Six. I have had one for over 30 years and have been very happy with it. It is single action, but that is not any drawback for trapping. It is difficult for any revolver that can be converted from .22 lr to .22 Mag. to have target pistol accuracy, but mine is very accurate (groups are definately not crappy). The .22 Magnum cylinder is really handy for bigger critters.
Good choice going with a revolver so you won't be leaving empty cases near your traps.

Ruger single six in stainless is about as bomb proof as you can get. Mark 11 is a fine weapon, but an auto will be a bit finickier with ammo. Anything will work in the single six including .22 shorts. The Ruger Bearcat is also a fine candidate. Quite a bit smaller than the single six, it does not have target sites, but at finish em off range, that probably isnt a factor. The Smith and wesson double action Kit Gun is also a great weapon, landing between the other two in size, and it comes with target sites also. I sold my stainless single six, and have regretted it ever since. I still have my Mark 11, but it is a bear to break down to clean thoroughly, (a factor being carried outside frequently in sloppy weather) and heavier.
