looking to get a revolver cheap
 

I am looking in to geting a cheap revolver in 22 mag and wandered if anyone knew of any that would be good I can spend around $200, and I want a double action, thanks

No such animal, definitely not if you're talking new.

The Ruger SP101 22lr I recently purchased has been a fun one, wonderful little kit gun. I've had a couple Taurus Trackers in 22WMR and 17HMR for several years, 6" models, actually really good quality revolvers.

But we're not talking about $200 revolvers, not even used.

I'm sure you could stumble across used Taurus 94, Rossi 98, or Charter Pathfinder (or equivalent older models) for that price, but you DID say "good". The Taurus 94, Rossi, and Charters are NOT "good".

At only $200, you'll likely need to revert to considering a Single Action, where you'll easily be able to pick up a Heritage Rough Rider for that price, or a used single six or Bearcat if you're lucky. The Rough Rider isn't really "good", but it's pretty close to good, and a lot closer to "good" in my experience than the cheaper Taurus, Rossi, or Charter DA's.

If you can find one, rougher versions of some old H&R revolvers can sometimes be found in that price range.

Honestly, save up longer, get a better revolver. You'll be glad you did.

What kind of groups/ranges are your trackers shooting?

Bought this Ruger New Model Single Six last spring with the 22 mag and 22LR cylinders for a tad over $300.00.



I had went to the gun shop with the idea of buying a used one only to find out I could have brand new with both cylinders for a mear $40.00 more for the new one. Have never seen one for less than $250.00 used

:D Al

I think i'll look at some single actions first and if i dont see any I realy like I will save for a while longr

I've got one of these as well. Pretty good rig. Not real fancy but it will do what I need it to. Mine is over 25 years old and I inherited it from my Father when he passed. it has put a lot of cottontails and blue grouse into the cooking pot during elk season.

In my best years, ~2" groups at 50yrds from a support wasn't a challenge, off-hand was a little worse, but not much (God bless silhouette shooting!), off the bench was a little better. These days, my wife and I aren't shooting nearly as much as I used to, but we get damaged range balls from the country club golf-course near us and do a lot of off-hand "egg-shoot" practice at 25yrds with our 22lrs, I forget exact diameter, but it seems like a golfball is just a touch over 1.5", right?

Golfballs/eggs and full size rimfire pistols put the FUN in handgunning fundamentals! :p

I bought my single six to shoot coons from the deer blind during deer season.
To many around and they mess with my bees.

:D Al

USGA rules require balls to have minimum diameter of 1.68". Older European balls had a minimum diameter of 1.62". Some balls are slightly larger than the minimum, but almost all of them are made to the minimum size.

Sounds like it'd make a dandy grouse gun.
