I think that Chiappa may have the gun you want. 9" mare's leg.

I don't know if it will make it to Canada though. Contact North Silva to see if thay can be brought in to the country unrestricted.

Eamors Saddlery out of Nanton, AB built this one for me. Top notch work and even better service as always.

Got the wife one of these for her 45 LC Ranchy. She loves it and the folks at Eomer's were great to deal with.

I just picked up a Ranch Hand in .44MAG - Awesome! Much better quality than I was expecting. Very happy with purchase.

g37 could you let me know where you bought yours, looking to buy one. Thanks

 

[supacat]

if its $650 or less i'd like one, caliber is not super important to me but 44 or 357 preferred.

have the ranch hand accuracy issues been dealt with?

 

[sk8erfinch]

If you buy new sights then yes... I got fiber optic green sights online and it shoot freakin deeeeeaaaaad on... When before it would shoot 3 feet above a can 20 feet away... Now i can nail anything with it.... Basically you will have to get sights or be dissapointed

 

[G37]

yes... the sights are WAY OFF! But I love the thing so much, I've already ordered replacement sights from Brownells.
I did some shooting and was very pleased that the Ranch Hand handles hot loads like a champ.

I've got plans for mine, going to tweak it and dress it up a little... will post pics in a month or so.

I bought the last one unfortunately, I too had been looking for months, finally found a little mom and pop shop that had a brand new one in box. Just have to search hard.

Did you go .450" or .500"? Also is the rear sight on the lowest notch?
I plan zeroing in for 25m.

I ended up ordering the .570" (Gold Bead) because it was off by so much, I figured I could up it a notch if it were too low.

My new sights from steves gunz are at lowest setting

 

[Big_red_truck]

It appears all rossi rifles are off out of the box. My rossi 92 is way off too.

once the sights are taken care of, what is accuracy like at say 20-50 yards with a .357 model?

 

[fan of .45]

already own 2 and love them way to much fun

Mine's a .44 and with fixed sights I can hit an 8" plate at 100 yards 70% of the time. With my full stock 95%.

My first test clip on stock extension. Just to see if it would holdup, 30 rounds and so far so good.
Old pad I had laying around and block of Fur trim block. Clip on kitchen cupboard door hardware, rated for 9lb.
Clips on solid no wiggle. For A taller front sight I filed down a stainless bolt.

what model of fiber optic sight fits on the mares leg? ive been looking around online but have only found brass post sights from skinners. i would love a green fiberoptic sight tho, make my ranch hand that much better.

See - this is what I was thinking pre-sale of my mares leg. Should be possible to do this, but with a T bolt to lock the rear piece in. Insert, 90* turn, lock in place.

I was thinking that too, but haven't found one to use yet. This is a temporary till I find somthing els. I was also looking at trying a quick release scope mount.
