I got a 444. It was ugly due to a strange custom job on the wood. Bought some used 1895 wood for Canada had Jim Brockman of Brockman rifles fit the wood work the action trigger and make a glove sized lever. Shoots as good as any rifle I own. Speer 270 grain gold dots are highly rated but hard to find. My favorite load is the 300 grain Barnes original or Hornady 300 grain xtp. Using 41 grains h 4198. It is a microgroove pre safety action. I really like the 444. Beware of some Hornady ammo as the brass is shorter as compared to most.
