Lucky guy.

Seems like it will be early next week before mine arrives.

Picked up 300 rounds of .44 mag ammo and a few ammo storage cases today though, made the wait a little more bearable.

Is the Ranch Hand rated for the 45LC +P round?

It handles the 44 mag, but haven't seen the literature indicating that it would accept the +P pressures.

Here's a bit from Paco Kelly on the modern 92 actions,

Rossi uses the same action on their .454 Casull's so hot .45LC's should be no problemo.....

Shot mine last night. Trigger's a tad heavy, mind you I've got Wild West triggers in all my Marlins and I'm spoiled. Later I'll see what the scale tells me it is. Shooting position will take a little getting used to as you instinctively want to pull it to your shoulder. Also I should have checked the sights with a boresighter before venturing out as it was off by a barn door and I didn't have anything to adjust them with. I've heard some guys are taking the buckhorn right off and just using the front sight as a bead. It's definitely not a sniper rifle, but it is something I'd throw into a pack and take with me anywhere as a "just in case".
Also I've got some warmer hunting loads I shoot in the Marlin, and I don't think you want to be shooting too many of them in the Ranch Hand. The gun'll take it, but it jumps quite a bit. I had some cast loads with Trail Boss and they were fine.

I've heard some guys are taking the buckhorn right off and just using the front sight as a bead.

I'm thinking about throwing a fully adjustable fibre-optic buckhorn on, or alternately putting on a williams peep and just taking out the screw in sight to give a large 'ghost ring'. I never really expected much from the buckhorns.

 

[Edward Teach]

Skinner has a barrel mount peep. I might give that a try.

 

[caramel]

For my old eyes i think Buckhorn sights are the easier to see... JP.

 

[driller212]

I hope it is in early next week! as in monday lol.

 

[G.Mitchell]

I am thinking about going all crazy and adding a rear sight that replaces the bolt safety, adding a rail, then a Primary Arms T1 clone.

Outta make it easier to shoot with the dot, and the backup of iron sights if needed.

Really. wouldn't happen to have a link to that would you, i'd be curious to see how that worked

 

[G.Mitchell]

This is the one I am thinking about.

The skinner one is very similar but you need to thread the barrel or bolt. The above one is a drop in as far as I know and still retains the safety function if that matters to you.

 

[Foxer]

I knew about the steve's guns one but i hadn't heard of the skinner one.

...no you don't.

[G.Mitchell]

isnt the rear sight on the rossi held on with 4 screws? or is it dovetailed?

I know Rossi sells rails for the 92 series rifle that uses screws to hold it on where the rear sight normally goes...
