Meh...I considered a used stainless single six at the LGS last year. It was priced at $350 which seemed like a decent price. I have a Heritage Rough Rider. It works and shoots to POA. I didn't see the point in adding the Ruger. Now, Ruger is making a Heritage and I'm supposed to get all googly eyed over it because it says Ruger on the side? Nope.
That's what's happened here, people have gone coo coo for a .22 Ruger revolver that costs $200 or less. Now, I do notice that the cheaper the Ruger is, the better it is. LCP's, LC9s, LCR's have all been fantastic guns for the self defense role they serve, the 10/22 is the best sub $300 .22 rifle available, the American rifles are the cheapest bolt action Ruger makes and they're worth every penny.
The Wrangler is different tho. It's not meant for self defense like the LC series are, it's not meant for hunting like the American rifles are, it's meant for plinking and in that regards I feel the Heritage is better. Better sights are available, 9 round cylinders are an option, 6 and 9 inch barrels are available, and .22 Mag cylinders come with many of them so if there ever was a defensive situation, the .22 Mag is very capable in a long barrel revolver.
The Wrangler... it's as basic and plain as it gets and IMO, it doesn't look that great. The Cerakote finish with the burnt bronze and silver color make the Wranglers look like the entire gun is plastic.
I still like to see competition, the Wrangler will make Heritage have to work harder to earn their keep.
