Big John 0 Posted January 29, 2011 Some new options for a mare's leg. I think the idea of this little gun in .22 would be a load of fun. http://www.henryrepeating.com/rifle-mares-leg.cfm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bad Hand 2 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"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yankee, SASS #266 23 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bad Hand 2 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. 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". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuckaroo #13080 Regulator 206 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johny two horse 0 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doc Coles SASS 1188 238 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Dog, SASS #20401 29 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WOLFY 58 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 18 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pack Saddle Slim, SASS #73122 0 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." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
