Trapping. I prefer the ruger semi though so I can just pop the clip in and out. I used to use a single 6 ruger but now I have a ruger MKII and a mkIII. Much easier to work with IMO.
Also used them to put down livestock for slaughter and still do on occasion when I come across a good deal on a live hog or I have a hog roast.

I'm not real sure what happened to mine either. It was kind of a beat around gun and I'm just not sure where it went.
You used to be able to pick up the ruger for $100 or so but not anymore.
The Heritage has cocobolo grips and its still pretty cheap I think.

my father has both an older single six and a new heritage arms 22/22 mag combo. I would recommend the steel frame heritage it's a little more but I feel it's the best choice. price around $250-290. gandermountain has the 22 only with aluminium alloy frame for $199. also you can get extra cylinders for the heritage off their webpage and grips.
