I should point out that the HRR here is blue with fixed sights. Yes, the Plinkerton is less , at least in this instance.

I looked at a Plinkerton, too, when considering a .22 Mag combo. I didn't think the ones I looked at were anywhere near as nice in appearance, etc. as the HRR. The finish on the ones I saw had a rough texture to it, nothing like the smooth finish on the HRR.

I do have to say that I like the way that the Plinkerton handles the mechanical safety better than the HRR (as in it isn't as obvious and you could just turn it off and forget about it as if it weren't even there.) Other than that, though, I preferred the HRR in every way - which should be obvious as I ended up buying one. Of course, unless I am mistaken, there is no 6.5 inch barrel option for the Plinkerton - which was one of my 'requirements' as I wanted to squeeze more potential out of the .22 Magnums.

Right,JAB on the barrel length, Plinky comes in 4 3/4 only. Ditto on rest too , maybe the safety was better, but not if you really wanted to use it. You can leave RRs off too and forget it's there.
