This Rough Rider variant features a 16-inch Buntline-style barrel that provides an extended sight radius, chambered in .22 LR only with a six-shot fluted steel cylinder. It operates in single-action only and carries the familiar Rough Rider profile in a long-barreled configuration.
Construction combines a Zamak 5 alloy frame with a 1215-steel barrel and a steel cylinder, finished in black oxide for a uniform appearance. The two-piece red-toned wood grips provide a traditional look and a solid hold.
The sighting system is set up for clarity: a ramped red fiber-optic front blade and a fully adjustable rear notch with green fiber-optic inserts. This arrangement offers bright aiming references while allowing precise elevation and windage adjustments.
Safety features include a frame-mounted manual safety and a hammer-block, integrated to enhance safe handling without altering the single-action manual of arms. Capacity is six rounds, fed through the swing-open loading gate typical of SAO rimfire revolvers.
