Default Rossi Ranch Hand

Finally got out and shot the Rossi today and was pleasantly surprised how well it shoots. My only complaint is that the sights can't be adjusted to get it shooting low enough at 50 yards. It's still about 6" high at that range. It looks like a front sight modification is in order. The little .44 mag definitely packs a punch.

Sounds like fun! I picked up a Henry Mares leg in 44 mag last week and was itching to try it out on the weekend as well, but work got in the way. Sounds like your Rossi is shooting not too bad!

Those are very cool little pieces. Would you consider it suitable for a bear protection role? Would the large lever make it hard to carry in a sleeve on a pack?

I think in 44 mag it makes some good bear medicine. I don't see packing being a problem at all.

I had the same issue with my Rossi 45. I took the elevation bar out and it helped but I'm thinking Mr.file is gonna come out and fix the problem for me.

What are you going to file? I took the elevation bar out too.
