currently i own three .44 mag rifles, 1 win 94 AE and two ruger 77/44 bolt guns.
I have owned two different marlin 94's in 44 mag.. all were/are reasonably accurate at 100 yards.
Probably killed a dozen white tails with them, mostly at 50-80 yards, but one at just over 150 yds and a 140 class at 193 yards.. All broad side rib cage shots, and i was particular about that shot.
Never had to follow a blood trail, DRT.. H110 Max load 240 gr Hornady JHP..
Shot a lot of practice rounds at 100-300 yards.. 150 is my max without a rest, 200 with a rest.. 300 yards i just plain couldn't make it happen with any consistency.. The gun will do everything you are capable of.
my .02 worth
