The only thing I don't like about shooting the high power loads is that the sharp edge of the buttplate tears up my cheek a bit. I think I'll have to grind and polish it down a bit.
 
Same load as before, 4 shots at 100 meters. Actually not too bad for no rear stock. The thing is pretty hard to control with a hot load from the bench, I think these are the first and last "groups" I will ever fire with this gun. :)

I don't think you're supposed to put it against yer cheek... Laugh2

seriously tho, still needing the FRT printout or the pdf from the dead link in the first post for the Ranch Hand if anyone has either.

Thanks

How does Rossi compare to Chiappa? I assume Rossi would be better built?

Not sure, since I have no experience with the Chiappa. But my Rossi is a solidly built little gun. I put a Boyd's stock on it, makes a handy little bush gun. I can keep groups to 3" at 50 yards, but most of the inaccuracy comes from the loose nut behind the trigger ;)

Most people don’t put it against their cheek but I feel that the best way to shoot it is to simply pretend it has a full stock and place your face where you would if it actually did have a full stock. It’s not for everyone, but I’m able to hit what I’m aiming at reasonably well and reasonably quickly. :)

I do something similar but being left eye dominant I shift the rifle to the left a little. It would be easier to cycle in that position with a smaller loop, I'm going to cut my big loop lever and take it down to a size that's easier to manipulate while holding the rifle out in a ready position.
