I came across a 4 digit Ruger Deerslayer 44 mag carbine and bought it. This was the name of the gun before Ithaca sued them and made them change the name to just Carbine. An avid Ruger collector just had to have it and I sold it. Well last year Michigan changed their law and allowed 44 mag rifles to be used in the southern zone. If I had that rifle it would be perfect for my southern Michigan hunting spot. Being a first year gun, accurate, and functionally perfect would have been my cup of tea. Bummer.
