Scott - I, long ago, witnessed a buddy lift a "peeper" woodchuck right out of its' hole at nearly 200 yards with his .44 Carbine!  | |||

Nickudu: I spent several years shooting and handloading for the .44 Mag in handguns and rifles and really know how good it is! I just don't think it's "socially acceptable" around here! Scott   SCI, NRA Life Member Warm trails and blue skies! | |||

My first rifle over .22 rimfire was a Ruger 44 Mag Deerstalker. My dad said If I paiknted the outside of the house he would buy be a deer hunting rifle. We found an add in the paper, a guy had a Winchester 30-30 AND a Ruger 44 Mag Deerstalker for sale. I had seen all the ads and read the story on the hunt in Africa about the 44. Ruger modified it to be non semiauto, it was a straight pull action. When we got to the guys house my dad was looking at the 30-30. I latched on to the Ruger 44 and told him, This is the rifle for me. I killed a lot of deer with that rifle. Wish I still had it. I do have a Winchester 44 Mag Trapper that my wife uses for a camp rifle. I really like a 44 Mag rifle. They kill way beyond their "paper ballistics. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

Wow, love those old adds. My first centerfire anything was a Ithaca 37 I bought new at a hardware store in 1981. I paid it out working down the block after school sacking groceries for $3.35 an hour, and paid a whopping $125.00 for it. It had been sitting in the rack so long the price tag had faded and the clerk guessed at a price. Still have it, have been many a mile and downed many a bird. Nice nostalgic stuff. Good luck and good shooting, Eterry Good luck and good shooting.
