Ruger has announced a new .22 revolver on their home page called the Wrangler:

I'm a bit perplexed by this revolver, it looks full sized and weighs 30 oz, but only holds 6 rounds of .22. Only comes in Cerakote finishes, and the MSRP is $249. I guess the frame and maybe the outside sheath of the barrel are aluminum?
So an aluminum Ruger .22 thats heavier and bigger, but cheaper than the Bearcat.. I guess that sounds good, especially since with an MSRP of $249, street price will likely fall below $200, Heritage Rough Rider territory.
So what is this? A poor man's Bearcat? A better made Rough Rider? A kit gun? An ultra cheap just for fun plinker?
