Bad Hand Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Didn't Rossi have to change the name of theirs to "Ranch Hand" because Jim Buchanan (J B Customs) had trademarked "Mares Leg"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Bad Bob Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I don't like the way they look. I would get a Rossi in .357/.38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankee, SASS #266 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 It looks like a big waste of money. It does not even look like the Winchester Steve McQueen used. Also it is not legal in our sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither was the "Big Boy" altho it was advertised as perfect for SASS for a year before it was approved. Strange things happen when "money talks".

Chuckaroo #13080 Regulator Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Besides being butt ugly, and not a copy of anything, it has already failed a straw vote by about 100% at the last TG summit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johny two horse Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 If you don't like the way they look, you will hate the way they shoot. working that lever without a stock against your shoulder to steady the gun.......it's something you need to experience for yourself.

Doc Coles SASS 1188 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 WOW!! Those are some seriously ugly guns! A gun never made in the period copying a gun never made in the period. How meta, and entirely pointless. I have rarely seen anything I would want less. Heck, I wouldn't take one if you gave it to me, where could I use it where folks wouldn't laugh at me or think I was an idiot for owning one? I would never live it down! Yikes.

Lone Dog, SASS #20401 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 A cut down Ugly Boy that costs twice as much as a Ranch Hand. Yeah, that oughta be a big seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Dick, SASS #12880 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I've always felt that Big Boys should be cut up but I had something different in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOLFY Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 late to the fire for this thread, but one of my local shoots isn't sass sanctioned, so they're deliberating letting me shoot a 44 ranchand as either a 2nd pistol or as a long gun i come in dead last every other match as it is... so i figured it'd be worth some style points. in this pard's opinion; the brass one is ugly, but the .22 version would look better if it didn't have the darned hooded frt sight.

Wild Bill Blackerby SASS # 34989 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm gonna buy one right after I buy a Big Boy. I can't wait, I see you shooting it while wearign your Henry Shirt & hat some nice person gave you for xmas. On another note - just when you thought that gun was bad enuff along comes the midgit version. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack Saddle Slim, SASS #73122 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Maybe I'm being too practical, but how the heck would you shoot the thing??? You can't shoot it very effectively as a rifle because there's virtually no stock to speak of. You can't shoot it very effectively as a pistol, either...at least not one-handed because you have to work the lever each time. I think it's a perfect example of an attempt at "awesome-looking impracticality." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger Mike Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 looks like it would be a good gun to start a child with though since it is so small, they don't need much of a stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
