When I was just a small kid my uncle talked to my dad about a 44 carbine to do northern min deer hunting my dad had a 740 3006. Had it custom stocked and with tipoff. This is the 50s. I don't think he ever shot it. Have a pic of my dad the first year Iowa opened the deer season early fifyts had a scope mounted jc higgins model 20 with the choke tube out. He was ahead of his time
