I was much happier with my Rough Rider before the barrel came loose all on it's own on a brand new gun a few months old. It shoots fine so long as I'm careful to pull the hammer all the way to the rear, otherwise on occasion it won't lock the cylinder and it will keyhole. I still like it and shoot it, but honestly it's not a quality firearm. It just isn't. If you get a good one that holds up then it's a better value than mine has been.
For at least the basic model that I have, it's hard not to compare the Wrangler when one is $130 and the other is $190. They're very similar guns in a similar "budget" price range. From what I've seen so far though, the quality of the Ruger is head and shoulders above the Rough Rider, hence my comment about it being a far better value. Based on my own personal experience with each so far, I have to stand by that comment. I stopped by the range this afternoon to shoot a box through the Ruger, and I like it a lot.
